Version 3.2.15

  • New Plug in your interface and go. The DMX Output window simply asks which MyStrow interface you have (logo on the front or on top) and connects on its own, with no IP address to set.
  • New Gigs without Wi-Fi: MyStrow now works 16 days without Internet, and with no time limit as long as your MyStrow interface is plugged in.

Version 3.2.8

  • New Customizable keyboard shortcuts. Connection menu › Keyboard shortcuts: assign the keys you like and save your setups as presets.
  • New Sign in with Google or Apple, in the PC app and on the tablet: no password to remember.

Version 3.2.7

  • New LIVE mode: moving heads lock to the tempo of the music. The new AUTO movement (default) changes pattern as the track goes, slower in the verses, wider on the drop.
  • New DMX Patch: create a fixture with your AI. Copy the suggested text, paste it into your AI along with the DMX chart from the manual, then paste its answer back into MyStrow.

Version 3.2.6

  • New Patch: a real Laser category, driven like a moving head (position, effects, patterns), including on QLC+ import.
  • New Advanced channels: useful range. Limit a channel so MyStrow stays in the zone you want, for example so it never starts a laser's built-in auto program.

Version 3.2.5

  • Fix 3D stage plan: it no longer gets stuck on “Loading…”.

Version 3.2.4

  • Improved Light REC: outside its blocks, the recording leaves you in control, your manual lighting stays on. A new Black swatch forces darkness wherever you place it.

Version 3.2.3

  • New Your patch and effects follow your MyStrow account. Once signed in, every change is saved there automatically, and you get them back at startup on another computer signed in to the same account. Without a connection, MyStrow works as usual: saving happens when the network is back.
  • Improved Memories: the pad turns the memory on or off, the fader only sets its intensity. A memory only changes what it contains: a “gobo only” memory changes the gobo, even with the fader down, without touching color or position.

Version 3.2.2

  • New Node output: choose your Art-Net node from the list of devices that reply, or type its IP address, with one output per node if you have several. The USB NODE DMX is recognized directly in the USB list.
  • New Patch: duplicate a fixture into as many copies as you want, and copy a calibrated wheel to other fixtures of the same model.

Version 3.2.1

  • New About › What's new? menu: opens this page, in the software's language.
  • New AKAI configuration › Options: Color pad on lowered fader = flash. When a group's fader is down, holding a color pad lights the group at 100% in that color; releasing it restores the previous state. Off by default, so you can still preset colors blind.
  • Improved Memory pads: pressing a memory that is already on turns it off.
  • Improved LIVE mode: the tempo is read from a DJ mixer's MIDI clock, even when the mixer is also your controller (a single MIDI port, like the DJM-2000). MyStrow finds the port sending the clock by itself.
  • Improved 3D stage plot: the smoke machine now fires a real jet, more powerful, reaching higher and further.
  • Fix Starting a memory no longer stops an effect launched with the effect buttons.
  • Fix Patch window: Ctrl + Z or closing without saving no longer resets the fixtures' 3D placement (height, tilt).
  • Fix Effect editor: a valid position is no longer wrongly shown as “⚠ Center”.

Version 3.1.99

  • New Memory pads: right-click › Behaviour. Choose between toggle, flash (the memory is only on while you hold the pad) or solo flash (it mutes the other memories while held).
  • New Gobos: the wheel now has 16 patterns. Each tile shows the pattern's drawing and name (“4-point star”, “MyStrow logo”…) instead of “G1” to “G7”.
  • Improved About 1,000 interface texts are now translated into English, Spanish, German and Portuguese.
  • Fix 2D plan: raising a memory fader no longer makes the fixtures blink and then disappear on screen.

Version 3.1.98

  • Fix Patch export and import (.msp file): the file now keeps every fixture setting (3D tilt and height, rotation, movement zone, pan/tilt inversions and range, colour and gobo wheels). Re-export any patch made with an older version.

Version 3.1.97

  • New A memory without a level only sets what it contains (strobe only, a gobo only, a position only…). You can raise it on top of a look without wiping it.
  • New REC Light: a sequence's table shows what each memory sends. Select cells and press Delete to remove a parameter, or type a value to change it. The Undo button takes you back.

Version 3.1.95

  • New 3D plan: six ready-made sets (concert, conference, nightclub, mobile DJ, outdoor festival, Christmas tree), several camera viewpoints, and the playing media shown on the set's screens.
  • New Video output: new Video output settings window. Adjust position, size, four-corner warp, brightness and black frame, directly with the mouse.
  • New Jingles: “Play over the playlist” option. A jingle then plays on top of the current media without stopping it.
