So still no Mobile Device, Ipad Control? Will this software work with the older inteface I just bought?

It will work with a app called "Easy Remote". You can download a early release of it for iPad only right now. Android tablet support to come towards the end of July.
Sincerely,

does my dmx 2.0 work with the 1st dmx dongle?
I don't think it does. 2.0 hardware only works on 2.0 software.
I've seen this asked on the forums and on your Facebook by myself and others...
How do you make the iPsd remote work? You have zero supporting documentation. You simply say "it will work."
It doesn't.

It doesn't.
The remote thing is still basically in beta right now.
If you have my dmx open and then launch the app on your ipad it should give you a white rectangle of text on your ipad that says my dmx 2.0
If you guys aren't seeing that then I am really not sure.

After that, then what? How do items get programed? I see on myDMX to Learn... but how do I get the two to talk together? I see the control on my iDevice, but can't program them.
An Ipad app is tentativly expected to release some time in Oct/Nov time frame. Please be patient as we are putting the finishing touches on it.
So what does everyone think so far? I like the grid functions and how you can essentially lay everything out like pixels on a moving picture. It does seem a lot of the advanced functions have been taking out, like the Knight Rider option. Overall seems legit but needs some further updates, any else have a different opinion?
I am really starting to agree, I can't get this to stay running in demo mode writing a show at home. What possible hope do I have that it won't crash mid way through a song and then psychotically destroy the atmosphere as it closes and reloads. This really seems like an unfinished system and needs to go back to the designers to be reworked out.
I have a show that will fit perfectly in a single window of MyDMX original, now to fit my 93 scenes with my laptops screen resolution set to 1366X768 I can only fit half the show on my screen, either that or move it to a 21 inch screen tv running at a higher resolution.
The editor function doesn't work on shows from the original version, a huge negative for upgrading. A negative you don't know until you have dropped 300 dollars for a dongle, only necessary because you changed the programming language.
You added a lot of bells and whistles in the form of a seemingly sleek interface, and easy effects generators, but compromised on the quality and craftsmanship designers are looking for. If I can't transfer a show, I need to be able to write a show, I can't write a show if every few minutes the software crashes leaving me back at square one. If this is going to be normal, create an auto-save function.
Perhaps it would have been better planning to do some beta tests with older members, who know the products and use them on a regular basis, get feedback, then release a software that will appeal to New self lighting DJs, and also the lighting designer who has to fit all of his gear in a carry-on case. It seems that you focused on one of these groups and neglected to consider the other. I will not be purchasing MyDMX 3, especially not during its first year of release. I will also suggest to lighting colleagues that they avoid your software and your services.
It may seem nit-picky, but I just want my software to work the way I would expect it to. I can transfer a Word Document from word 95 to Word 2012. I can edit an Adobe Project created in CS3, in CS5. I should be able to work on my show in 2.0, the same way that I worked with it in its original iteration, and like with creative soft-wares, upgrading should give me more options, and a faster method. Not more headaches and sickening Regrets.

I agree the ideas of it are Grade A but there's still some problems that need to be worked out. Unfortunately I called American DJ Tech support about some issues I was having and they said "Just buy it and the software won't have the same problems." Seems illogical, the software won't change. My Chauvet ColorBand Tri's still only display one color on the top LED when trying to make a rainbow effect that I've always wanted to do. The issue was the same with 1.0 I've done hundreds of installations and programmed every sort of DMX hardware and software but can't get this to work. Just can't justify spending the money on 2.0 til my problems are addressed; til then I'll use my 1.0 or save for CompuLive. Meh I got 1st world problems like woah.
