First light!

My power supply showed up today so I was finally able to power up my new controller and lights.  I also reloaded my macbook with windows 7 and the input delay has vanished!  So far I'm impressed with the responsiveness of sending commands back and forth via midi.  The in video the white bursts of light are controlled by midi notes, not timecode like the rest of the cues.  Things are finally starting to play nice together. If I keep up this rate of progress I'll be ready to program this weekend.

Speaking of videos... I created a quick demo just to test the equipment...


I also revised the song list... I took out Good King Joy. As much as I love that song I've decided to wait until next year to do it because budget constraints kept me from adding the special effects I wanted for that one.  Next year though!  To make up the time I added Jesus Freak by DC Talk and the rockin' bit of A Last Illusion by TSO in between Boughs of Holly and Tracers.

Yesterday my new motherboard showed up so that computer is also up and running.  It was the computer running MagicQ in the video.
