Is the drumlights strip available in different colors?No.
Currently the drumlights strip casing is only available in brown.
If you would like casing in a different color or pattern, custom
options may be available. Please contact us for more information
about placing a custom order. |
Can I create a custom light pattern and save it as MIDI data in a sequencer?Using
the ShowPlayer software, it is possible to create and upload
new patterns. Those patterns are stored in non-volatile RAM
for later use, even if you turn the power off. You can change
the active pattern as part of the MIDI stream. |
||
Can I change the color of the lights in the drumlights strip?Drumlights
currently display red-green-blue lighting patterns. If you would
like lights in different colors, custom options may be available.
Please contact us for more information about placing a custom
order. |
||
I know my drumlights can run off a battery, but can I plug them into the wall?Yes.
Drumlights can be powered by an external power source. |
||
Can I place wireless triggers on my par-cans, lasers or strobes?Yes,
using a drumlights power strip and ShowPlayer software, most
anything requiring standard wall-power can be controlled via
drumlights wireless triggers and/or software. |
||
Why is the drumlights wireless?Wireless
control allows for as much flexibility and control as possible
without a bunch of wires getting in the way. With the wireless
module you can easily change you drumlights setup even in the
middle of a set. |
| |
|
Does the drumlight strip work without the wireless module?Yes,the
drumlights strip has been designed to work independently, without
the ShowPlayer software or the wireless module. You can simply
change patterns with the click of a button on the drumlights
strip. |
Can I record my drums with the wireless module?Yes,
using either the drumlights MIDI adapter or the ShowPlayer software.
Please download the ShowPlayer user manual to learn more. |
||
When and why would I want to connect two drumlights strips together?Connecting
two strips together minimizes response time and maximizes the
display of your drumlights. You can “daisy-chain”
the strips together for use on a large drum, or control many
strips with one “master” and many “slaves”.
Please download the ShowPlayer user manual to learn more. |
||
Does your equipment work with what I already have?Drumlights
have been designed to work seamlessly with existing acoustic
and MIDI drum kits. |
||
Do the drumlights have to be on the drums; why do you allow for external sensor input?An
external sensor will allow you to create your own trigger on
something other than a drum; your imagination is the limit.
Drumlights can be activated by software or by triggers placed
at remote locations. Theoretically you could have your entire
drumlights setup triggered by a single drum. |
||
We share our drum set with another band. Can they have their own drumlight settings?Yes.The
ShowPlayer software allows for unlimited shows. Please download
the ShowPlayer user manual to learn more. |
| |
|
Can the system record multiple drums being played at the same time?Yes,
with the ShowPlayer software or drumlights MIDI adapter. Please
download the Show Player software users manual to learn more.

How long do the batteries last?Most
performers find the batteries last for up to 6 performances
of 45 minutes each or roughly 4.5 hours of use. |
||
Will the wireless module interfere with my other wireless equipment?Generally,
no. Most wireless microphones and wireless instrument hookups
operate on a different frequency than drumlights. |
||
How many lights can I plug into the wireless power strip?You
can plug in 1-8 lights into the wireless power strip, with a
total draw of 15 amps per circuit, not to exceed 20 amps total
between |
||
Can two wireless systems be used concurrently by multiply bands on multiple stages at the same time and not interfere with each other?Yes.
Each setup has its own specific units associated with it using
unique ID’s for reference. In addition, bands can change
their wireless frequencies to limit any potential contention. |
||
What is the total number of addressable units and how long would it take to send a command to them all?1500
units may co-exist in a single venue. Instructions can be sent
to all units, groups of units, or each individual unit. The
time required depends on how you are addressing the units.
|
| |
|
What devices can plug into the wireless outlet?You
can plug in any standard performance lighting system as long
as it has no more then 15 amps per circuit or 20 amps in total. |
