If you want to create a project manually (offline) without AI, you can find the guide here.
1. Select your fixtures in GDTF Stage Studio
In GDTF Stage Studio, choose your fixtures from a database of more than 8,500 libraries. Under My List, set the number of units for each model. Each fixture's DMX mode (for example, whether it uses 8 or 12 channels) can be chosen on that fixture's detail page.
If you can't find a matching GDTF library for your lights: use the Fixture Editor dialog and, via Import GDTF/PDF, insert the PDF manual — the AI will create the Fixtures for you directly in the program.
2. Export and import into DMX Music Visualization
Click DMX, then the Export TXT button. Drag the file into the DMX Music Visualization program. From here on, all you have to do is press Enter.
3. Clear the existing fixtures
Confirm deletion of the current fixtures in the program.
4. Generate the show
If you don't need to change any fixture addresses, confirm generation of the show. (You can also find this in the menu File -> Design New Project)
5. Clear the existing music attributes
Confirm deletion of the current music attributes from the program.
6. Choose a project type
Pick the type of project. For a typical, all-purpose setup geared toward music production, Extended Project is the best choice.
7. Set up zones (optional)
Here you can define the zones where your moving fixtures should aim. For this sample project it isn't needed, so choose No / Cancel. (For a finished project you can later remap the zone for Pan and Tilt via File -> Remap Zone for All Project)
8. Prompts and AI model
Likewise, choose No if you don't want to change the prompts or the generative AI model.
If you instead confirm Yes to edit the individual prompts, you can switch the generative model type between Fast, Standard, and Pro.
9. Generate the quick-function buttons
Once the music project has been generated, confirm that you also want to generate the buttons for quick functions for your fixtures.
10. Clear the previous buttons
Confirm deletion of the previous buttons without saving by choosing No.
✓ Done — your project is ready!
Through the DJ Buttons you can try out the sample scenes and chases for your fixtures. And when you play music, the lights will react to your playlist right away.
Changing the audio input
If you want to change the audio input, use the dialog in Configuration → Audio Setting. The Sound Output option analyzes the music played on your PC, or you can select a Microphone or Line IN input.
The optimal level sits around this arrow. If the input signal level is too high or too low, the program recalibrates it automatically.
Generate a wiring diagram
In GDTF Stage Studio you can generate a wiring diagram showing the addresses of your fixtures.
