Thread: Integrated Haunt Control using DMX/VSA

Tweet

That's whats intended, you use VSA as the routine builder and DMXorcist as the showtime player, so you can build each routine of your show separately in VSA and the use DMXorcist to tie it together with the sensors

DMXorcist will play the sound file that you use in VSA, however, it will play it to the default audio device, not get many people out there using multiple sound cards yet.

The difficult part of what you have described doing is having 8 props, each with it's own distinct sound. To do more than 5 distinct sound channels I would think you would have to use one of the stand alone prop controllers that will store it's own sound file.

7 channels is possible, however, some sound cards try and be too clever and mix the 7/8 channels with sound from the others.... the best way around this issue is to buy the cheapest 7.1 sound card you can which is basically just 8 amplifiers, and doesnt have any fancy mixing functions

BTW one thing I should say.... if your still thinking about this for this year (2011) then you are leaving it VERY late, anyone who orders today may not get the hardware until mid October (software is downloadable).maybe this is something that's best for next year.
