Luminair

I’ve had Luminair on my iPad for at least 5 years now. It’s come a long way in that time, but there are still some fundamental problems with it that, for me, make it unusable. I already bring one laptop to my gigs to run my VSTs on an was looking to avoid bringing a second to run lights since I have my iPad on the gigs as well, running TouchOSC to control my VSTs. But Luminair is not up to the challenge, forcing me back to bringing two MacBooks if I want to run keys and lights. The biggest issue is with RTP MIDI. I cannot make it work with Luminair. If I have a single subnet with Luminair, my DMX controllers and my RTP MIDI setup, Luminair disables network access entirely or even crashes sometimes. This is on an M1 iPad running the latest version of iOS and Luminair. I also have a license for LightKrey on a MacBook. Lightkey works without issue with sACN/ArtNet and RTP MIDI. Luminair is just not stable with RTP MIDI. My light show requires me to have certain sequences, scenes triggered via MIDI and since Luminair disconnects network or outright refuses to allow me to assign RTP MIDI ports it effectively renders it useless for my needs. Additionally, the fixture profiles for certain fixture don’t seem to work or at least be as intuitively easy to use as the same fixture profiles in LightKey. Until this is resolved, I am back on LightKey and I have discontinued my Luminair Pro monthly renewal fee. If they ever fix these, I’ll consider revisiting the product, but in the meantime I cannot recommend or use this product.

When turning phone to landscape, it either does not go all or the screen jumbles up a freezes. Fix?

Ok so what doesnt have a bug or two especially a new program. Even ms and apple have problems with new os or even updates that crash systems, it happens. BUT just try to get help or any support from them when u find an issue. Since v3 of luminair I bought and now subscribe to the best supported lighting program out - imho. I was extremely new with lighting and made plenty of mistakes totally my fault but the support guys ALWAYS responded quickly and resolved every issue i’ve had. Good luck finding a team as good as these guys anywhere. Now that i can load this on my macbook pro and use dmx with usb I feel the program has truly continued to expand to customers wants and needs. I am a permanent Fan and customer. Have tried many lighting programs and always come back here. So will be staying. Thanks guys for creating and maintaining an excellent platform for lighting control.

Today I spent 5 hours editing new devices/scenes for the new lighting hardware. Five hours of tedious repetitive hand patching of scenes later (due to an apparent lack of “apply this to all” kind of functionality), it was done and perfect. One reboot later, and Luminair erased everything. I need to step away now or it’s going to get ugly.

Our light flash at every fade until they are into next cue. I reached out for help 2 weeks ago and nothing,

The app works good on macbook and iphone and feels polished. The icloud integration is great and everything is quick. The user guide is well written, and their tech support is responsive. Price is steep, but controlling DMX scenes from my phone is pure magic

I bought this app years ago before it was subscription. It worked great then, but now I can no longer use it unless I pay again, eternally. I hope this app goes the way of FilmicPro. Karma for the greed.

When I opened the app a “join us” button appears, but tapping on this shows an error “no internet”. I have verified the internet is connected and working.

Whoever though that it was a good idea to get new customers by making them pay ten bucks before they can even open it. I can’t waste my money on an app that I don’t even know will work with my wireless receivers. So stupid.

I paid for this a few years back. It was the most expensive app I've paid for by far. Now I have to subscribe for it to work? So we pay for it personally since our company is against subs, and then it doesn't even work with our Enttec open DMX USB for the most basic of lighting? Lame.
