LXMax - DMX and Lighting Control Package - Alpha Testers Wanted
Hi all. After a long development gap and a complete rewrite, I'm finally close to an initial alpha release for LXMax. For those who are unaware, this is my long-planned project to create a proper patcher-independent DMX support system for Max and a set of external objects that allow lighting control abstracted from DMX entirely. IE, objects that represent lighting fixtures/dimmers directly with their properties as attributes.
The first release will contain the core service and configuration window, Art-Net/sACN support and basic raw DMX input and output objects. See attached screenshot for an idea of the configuration UI.
If you're interesting in helping with alpha testing, please join the discord server below and request access to the private channel. I'm especially interested in people with M1/Apple Silicon Macs as I don't have any access to this type of machine for testing.
Excited to try it out soon with my Apple M1 pro laptop!
Any idea about the release date of the DMX/Art-Net externals for Max?

Hi !
Any updates on LXMax ?
Is there a way we can help in alpha testing ? (I joined the Discord but there is not much activity there for now).

I'm afraid it's unlikely this project is going to be completed. I won't say never, but Beam for Max (https://beam.showsync.com/beam-for-max) now exists which achieves a lot of what I was hoping to do with LXMax.
Unfortunately in the brief window I was free of other development projects and was dedicating time to LXMax, I got COVID, which killed all the momentum I had and I never really found the time to pick it back up again after I recovered. Additionally the reality of my work at the moment is that I don't actually use DMX from Max regularly so excuses to spend more time on it are limited.
