Upcoming release - testers required

Hi everyone,

Just a very quick update - I’m working super hard on the upcoming release and there is a LOT that has been fixed / refined / added, so I’m looking for volunteers who can help me to test it over the next couple of weeks.

It needs general testing of laser output but also the new undo system, copy / paste, and other application things. Also :

  • PONK - integration with TouchDesigner and MadLaser
  • Depence visualiser
  • IDN (anyone with a Helios Pro?)
  • any laser controller! I’ve completely rewritten every single laser implementation (I know!).
  • custom MIDI config
  • MTC / Artnet TC

Even if you can’t do any of these specific thing the new build will still require proper testing.

If you’re up for this please add a comment below, along with which features and hardware you can test, along with your OS (will be Mac first, sorry). Please only respond if you can devote a reasonable amount of testing effort in the next 2 to 3 weeks.

All the best,

Seb

Yes! I sorely need MTC, so I would be able to test this thoroughly for a good while

I have pretty bad issues trying to use audio at all, I hope I can help test and get these resolved - will make a separate thread to report this

I can help with general testing & custom MIDI config.
I have a MacBook Pro (2019) i9, 32GB ram.

Running:

  • 2x 15W 40kkps w/ Helios
  • 1x 12W 25kkps w/ Helios
  • 1x laserbar over DMX & Artnet 2Wx6 = 12W
  • APC40 MK2

I can help with testing custom MIDI config and Artnet. I have several different midi boards I’d like to integrate as well as tie Liberation into Artnet using lightjams. I have 4 etherdream4 controllers and 5 lasers to test with. Windows 10 and windows 11. I will have lots of time to test over the next two weeks.

I am happy to test the items quoted above and the controller code update with ED4. I have some free time for the next 3 weeks due to canceled gigs. :frowning:

MacOS 12 and 15 plus Windows 10 if needed (prefer not).

  • APC40 mk2
  • I’ve used the following controllers through Chataigne and the MIDI send/receive system and really want to extensively test the new MIDI system via Chataigne.
    • LaunchPad (active in my current rig)
    • Launch Control XL 3 (active)
    • LaunchPad Pro
    • Launch Control XL
    • Launch Control

Hi, I’m also willing to help.

Seb as you know I am a complete newby but if there is anything I can do to help I would be happy to do so. As one who has retired at a certain age I have plenty of time on my hands and I will be concentrating really hard on Liberation for the next month!

Hey Seb! Should we expect to hear from you in private if selected, or are you still working on things?

Hey Jon! I’m still working on things! I’m not sure how I’m going to manage this yes but I’ll probably post an update here.

All the best

Seb
