It's an incredible project and the new version covers features, which you just find in high price software. perfect for each kind of fixtures (dimmers, led lights, moving heads), with a lot of assistants and also a fixture editor, if your device isn't in the fixture list yet. I really like the led matrix feature and how the software deals with moving heads (FX feature).
