Vibrio

This program has been in use for more than two years and it has proven to be quite effective. Most often it controls two 4-light trees and a wall washer that is operating independently of the trees. It replaced an ‘obey 40.’ It is also used in a two universe arrangement with a separate iPad for each universe. Both scenarios utilize Chauvet AN2 bridges. It has performed admirably. The only item that would make a significant impact to ease of use would be an audio trigger for the BPM light sequence timing. A bluetooth remote microphone option to the internal microphones would be a level above. Working the audio mixer takes precedence in the mentioned situations so sometimes the lights are on timing from the previous song. A remote BPM audio trigger would handily resolve the issue. The interface is uncluttered and well organized. It is obvious that this software is quite capable of handling a much larger more involved system than the above mentioned.

This controller app is super easy to use, and has great features, especially for the price. It’s nice to be able to layer scenes. One thing I want updated is the fixture profile. The fixture profiles are very limited and only includes older discontinued fixtures. I have to make my own profile for just about every single light I own. Also, the effects for movements could be improved. All in all, I think this is one of the best DMX controller apps you can get for the features you get for the price.

Vibrio is an economical yet robust DMX light controller. I am using with a Netgear wireless router and eDMX 1 PRO by dmxking. Everything was pretty much plug and play. The only hiccup was figuring out how to set up the channels for my lights. Once I got that figured out the fun really began. Scenes are a breeze to create and multiple scenes can be layered. Response between app and lights is instantaneous with no lag. I have not tried the midi feature yet so cannot comment on that. Sequences bring automation and life to the show. The greatest feature is having the ability to operate the lights from anywhere within range of my WiFi signal. There are some things I would like to see added that would make it a little more flexible but for the price and reliability, you can’t go wrong with this app.
