Legacy Vixen 2.x | VixenLights

Pre-Requisites

If you don’t have the 2.0 version of the .Net framework installed, you need that first. This is a 22 MB download, so get it started and then go get yourself a snack (broadband) or some dinner (dialup).

How do I know if it’s installed?

To determine if you have it installed, open the Control Panel, go to Add/Remove Programs and look for “Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0”.

Output Plugins

Name	Size	Description
8 Line595	12.0 KiB	Uses all of the 8 data lines of the parallel port. Note: All controllers on the port must have the same channel count for them to work correctly.
AdjustablePreview	56.0 KiB	The same functionality as the original Preview, but it allows you to adjust the pixel resolution and size. It also allows any size picture to be used.
Basic Parallel	5.5 KiB	8-channel controller connected to the 8 data lines of a parallel port.
CurrentExecution	28.0 KiB	For use with a LedTriks or Virtual LedTriks display. This will show the name of the currently-executing sequence, formatted as you specified. Requires LedTriksUtil.
DMX-512	5.0 KiB	For use with the Enttec Open DMX USB modules. Also requires the IDMX (in the Plugins\Output directory) and FTD2XX (in the Vixen directory) assemblies.
ElexolUSB IO24	24.0 KiB	Thanks to Jonathon Reinhart for authoring this and allowing it to be posted.
Enttec DMX USB Pro	8.5 KiB
FanslerDimmer	36.0 KiB	Another 595 controller that is capable of dimming.
FGDimmer	28.0 KiB	A serial-based dimming controller.
GenericSerial	24.0 KiB	Outputs simple serial data based on user input.
Hill320	16.0 KiB	320 channel controller by Hill Robertson.
HorningDimmer	36.0 KiB	A 595 controller that is capable of dimming.
Icicle	12.5 KiB	For use with Icicle controllers. This plugin implements the serial type A, version 2 protocol.
Launcher	15.0 KiB	Allows external programs to be launched by triggers contained in a sequence.
LedTriksOutput	12.0 KiB	A DIY readerboard device created and maintained by Robert Jordan. Requires LedTriksUtil.
LedTriksUtil	64.0 KiB	Required file for a couple of the LedTricks plugins.
MCC PCI DIO	6.5 KiB	Supports the Measurement Computing PCI DIO boards.
MiniSSC	12.0 KiB	Serial Servo Controller module.
Olsen595	24.0 KiB	Scaleable parallel port controller using the 74HC595 latch register. Can use multiple parallel ports.
Parallel12	5.5 KiB	12-channel controller connected to the 8 data lines + 4 control lines of a parallel port.
PSC	13.5 KiB	Up to 32 channels of servo control with the Parallax Servo Controller.
Renard	13.0 KiB	A scalable PIC-based dimming controller that uses a single serial port.
RGBLED	28.0 KiB	For use with RGBLED controllers. It only implements a very limited subset of the RGBLED controller currently.
Simple595	5.5 KiB	A simpler plugin for the 595 controller that can only use one parallel port at a time and takes less effort to setup.
Simple595p	20.0 KiB	Same as the Simple 595, but it allows the specification of a pulse width to lengthen the amount time a high or low pulse lasts. This can be helpful for some PCI parallel cards.
VirtualLedTriks	9.5 KiB	Displays the output of a LedTriks display with configurable board layout, LED color, size, and spacing. Requires LedTriksUtil.

User Interface Plugins

Name	Size	Description
LedTriksUI	108.0 KiB	For LedTriks sequences. LedTriks is a DIY readerboard device created by Robert Jordan. Requires LedTriksUtil.
StandardScript	52.0 KiB	For creating sequences that are dynamic in nature, written in C#. Currently, only standard and LedTriks sequences can be authored in script. Requires LedTriksUtil.
StandardSequence	236.0 KiB	The standard Vixen sequence.
TriggerResponse	48.0 KiB	If you have hardware available for creating input triggers, this editor will let you create response sequences.

Trigger Plugins

Name	Size	Description
K8055Output	28.0 KiB	For use with the Velleman K8055 USB interface board. Also requires K8055.dll and K8055D.dll. These can be placed in the Plugins/Output directory.

Add-Ins

Name	Size	Description
AnalogSpectrum	128.0 KiB	Like the above-mentioned Frequency Spectrum add-in, but this version has two sliders per band -- lower and upper limits. The intensity of the resulting channel events are based on how far the band's decibel level is between the limits. i.e. If it reaches halfway between the limits at a given point in time, the channel's intensity will be approximately 50%.
CometConversion	24.0 KiB	Consumes a Comet playlist and generates one or more sequences from it.
DMXAddIn	20.0 KiB	Use of this add-in will maintain a constant DMX stream while the application is running, regardless of whether or not a sequence is executing. This only works with the Enttec Open DMX.
EFX-TEK Prop-2 Support Files	1.8 KiB	Support files for EFX-TEK Prop-1 Sequence Generator
MIDIReader	44.0 KiB	Parses a MIDI file and creates sequence events based on note-to-channel mappings that you create.
Prop1SeqGen	28.0 KiB	Automates the creation of a Prop-1 PBASIC program to turn your sequence into a stand-alone application. Also requires these two text files, placed in the AddIns directory.
Prop2SeqGen	28.0 KiB	Just like the Prop-1 version, but for the Prop-2. Also requires these two text files, placed in the AddIns directory.
RemoteClient	72.0 KiB	Allows for remote execution of sequences over a network or the internet. It will also allow you to synchronize multiple Vixen installations, allowing you to create shows that span the neighborhood or the world. Download this text file for a listing of commands that can be called from a web page (such as a PHP script) used to control the remote client.
Remove Client Commands	2.1 KiB	Available commands for the remote client.
RGBLEDAddIn	32.0 KiB	A convenience utility for RGBLED users.
Spectrum	144.0 KiB	Acts like a 31-band equalizer, allowing you to set up band-to-channel mappings and threshold levels. The results are events that are created in response to certain decibel levels of frequency bands.
WattMeter	36.0 KiB	Calculates the load generated by a sequence for all channels or any subset of channels. If you go over a specified threshold, it will tell you where. It will also give you a graph of the whole sequence's load over time so you can see it visually.
Waveform	120.0 KiB	Creates a simple lighting sequence based on the music you selected. Great for setting up a foundation or guide for more complex sequences.
