Getting Started
Before launching the myDMX GO app, connect to the myDMX GO WiFi device via WiFi (iPad and
Android) or via USB (Android only).
Launch the myDMX GO app on your device.
A login screen will appear and ask if you would like to login or create a Light Cloud account.
• A Light Cloud account is free and will give you the ability to synchronize your own fixture
profiles across multiple tablets.
If you choose not to use a Light Cloud account, simply select “Log In Later” to proceed.
Tap the menu on the left and select your interface from the list if it is not already selected (see page
13 for instructions to connect to a DMX interface).

SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
Connecting To A DMX Interface
myDMX GO has been designed for use with the myDMX GO WiFi DMX device.
To begin, connect to the DMX device over WiFi, then start the myDMX GO App.
Note: The device may take up to 20 seconds to connect. No further purchases are required.
myDMX GO can also be used with other specific devices with the correct additional purchases described below.
myDMX GO for iPad:
• myDMX GO, Daslight DVC4-GZM & Sunlite SUITE2-FC Ethernet-DMX interface.
myDMX GO for Android:
• Any Smart Upgrade Technology (SUT) USB-DMX interface with the myDMX GO license. See
our website for a list of compatible SUT devices
• Daslight DVC4-GZM & Sunlite SUITE2-FC Ethernet-DMX interfaces
To connect to a DMX interface, tap the menu button and tap on the interface you would like to use.

APP INSTRUCTIONS
Create A New Project
To create a project, tap the menu button and tap “Create a Project”.
If you currently have an open project, you will have the option to copy the presets and fixtures from the
current open project, or start a new project.
Tapping the 3 dots next to the project name allows you to rename a project or delete it.
Adding Fixtures
To add fixtures to your project, tap the menu button and then “Fixtures”. To add a fixture:
1. Tap the “Brand” button at the bottom of the screen and select the brand.
2. Select a device profile. Notice each profile has a colored dot to the right:
• Red means the device must be downloaded from the cloud. (An Internet connection is
required for this.)
• Green means you have the device on your tablet already.
• Yellow means you have the device on your tablet, however an updated version is available.
3. Select a “Mode”.
Some fixtures have different operation modes that take up different amounts of channels.
Be sure you have the same mode selected on your fixture. (To check the settings your fixture,
please refer to the owner’s manual that was provided with your fixture).
4. Tap “Add A Fixture”.

* There are over 15,000+ fixture profiles available.
If you do not see a profile for your fixture, visit https://store.lightriderapp.com/en/ssl to create a New Fixture Request.

APP INSTRUCTIONS
Addressing Features
Each DMX fixture is assigned a unique number so that myDMX GO knows which fixture to send the
correct information to.
To address a fixture:
1. Tap the fixture in the list and look at the Start address number
2. Use the digital display on the actual fixture to set the same number.
Refer to the fixture manufacturers manual on how to do this.
Some fixtures use DIP switches instead of a digital display. The correct DIP switches are shown
on the right.
* If you have already set up your fixture and it’s not practical to change the DMX address, this can
be changed by tapping the Start Address number. Note that the end address is fixed because the
number of channels a fixture uses is fixed.

Changing The Order Of The Fixtures
All effects are applied in the order the fixtures appear in the list.
For example, if you have the myDMX GO color effect chasing between fixtures, it will start at fixture 1
and end at the last fixture in the list. To change the order of fixtures, tap and hold a fixture and drag it to
a different position in the list (this will not affect the DMX address of the fixture).

APP INSTRUCTIONS
Controlling With The Faders
myDMX GO has been designed to control fixtures automatically, however you can manually override the
value of a fixture’s channel.
To do this:
1. Select a fixture by tapping it in the list.
2. Scroll left or right to find the fader you would like to control. Tap the desired fader to select.
Once selected, the fader will turn blue.
3. Drag the fader up and down to change the value
• To reset the fader back to automatic mode, tap the reset icon at the top of the fader

APP INSTRUCTIONS
Setting Pan/Tilt Limitations
The limitations grid allows you to limit and invert the pan and tilt values of a fixture or group of fixtures.
There are several reasons why this is important:
1. Moving-Head lights can typically pan 360-600 degrees. For myDMX GO’s effects to look good,
it’s best that they only pan no more than 180 degrees.
2. Depending on how a light is set up (or rigged), the center point is not always in the center of the
stage/dance floor.
3. The pan or tilt is sometimes inverted, meaning that the beam won’t move in the correct direction
compared with the other lights in the project.
Setting the limitations for your fixtures is a simple task that will assist in cleaning up and organizing your
light shows.
To set up the limitations:
1. Tap the fixture group button to the top right of the fixtures list.
2. Tap the limitations button.
3. Tap bottom center of the square and move until your lights are pointing at the floor.
4. Tap the top center of the square and move until your lights are pointing at the ceiling.
5. Tap the left center of the square and move until your lights are pointing to the left.
6. Tap the right center of the square and move until your lights are pointing to the right.
7. Tap the middle of the square and move left/right until your lights are centered.
For a Moving Head, the limitations square normally looks like in the image below.
For Scanners, limitations are not normally required due to the physical limitations of the mirror.
Repeat the above steps for each of your light groups, and then repeat with single fixture selections
if some fixtures are off-center.

APP INSTRUCTIONS
Live Screen
The live screen is your controller. It’s where all lighting effects are triggered.
• Moves on the left, Colors on the right and flash effects in the middle.
• Change the Fan/Speed/Size/Shift/Fade of the selected effect by tapping in the center of the
effect wheel.
• Select colors by tapping the color wheel in the bottom right.
• Touch and hold one of the 50 preset buttons to store a desired preset.
• Sync with the music by tapping the square button next to MOVES and COLORS.
• Tapping it once will sync with the BPM.
• A second tap will sync with the pulse using the tablet’s microphone.
• Touch the myDMX GO logo to show and hide on-screen tips (see page 19).

APP INSTRUCTIONS
Colors
The color effects are situated to the right of the console. 8 effects are available and will be applied to all
RGB/RGBW or CMY color mixing lights. Lights with fixed colors may also be used with the color effects,
but they will not mix in the same way as color mixing fixtures.
Choosing an Effect
Tap one of the 8 segments to play an effect across your lights. Once an effect has been chosen, the
Fade, Speed, Shift and Size of the effect can be adjusted by tapping any of the 4 buttons in the center.
The available options depend on the selected effect. Note: make sure that the fixtures are in the correct
order because effect results may vary based on fixture order.
Setting a color
To set which colors will be used in the effects; tap the color wheel at the bottom right. The color wheel
is used to set the colors for the effects, and the segments around the color wheel are used to override
the effect and recall static colors on all fixtures with fixed color wheels. Tap in an empty space in the
color wheel to add a color. Drag a color point outside the color wheel to remove it. Up to 6 colors can
be selected in the color wheel + 6 static colors with the segments. These are displayed below the color
wheel.
Static colors are always fixed and are spread across lights with fixed color wheels. Change the pattern
by tapping the button to the left of the color wheel button. This pattern button is also used with color
mixing fixtures in the STOP effect.

APP INSTRUCTIONS
Moves
Move effects are available to the left of the console and can be applied to any fixture that has Pan and
Tilt channels. Before applying move effects, it is recommended to set the limitations first.
Choosing an Effect
As with the color effects, the move effects are triggered by tapping the 8 segment buttons.
Each move effect can be adjusted using the 4 options in the center - Fan, Speed, Size and Shift.
Setting the Center Position
The center position of an effect should be set before using the limitations, however the effect can be
moved around to fine tune effects.
To do this:
1. Tap the center button to the bottom left of the moves area.
2. Drag the point around the grid to adjust the center point of the effect.
• Tapping the reset button on the right puts the center point back in the center of the grid.
The button on the left enables the gyro, which allows you to control the center point by physically moving
the iPad (not available on Android).

APP INSTRUCTIONS
Flash FX
The 5 flash effects are in the center of the console and are only active when pressed. This allows you to
create quick bursts of effects. If you want to latch the effects on, this can be done by touching a flash
effect, dragging outside the button and releasing.
The following effects are available from left to right:
1. Smoke - activates a smoke machine.
2. Blackout - switches off all lights.
3. WOW! - creates a build-up of strobe effects synchronized with the BPM.
4. Blinder - directs a powerful bright light to the front.
5. Freeze - pauses the show, freezing the current levels being output.

Special FX
The special effects allow control of Iris, Zoom, Gobo and Prism (if your fixtures support this functionality).
Tap the dial to enable the effect or select a gobo, then drag around the dial to control the selected
effect (e.g. gobo rotation speed, Iris level etc). By default these dials are rotary, but if you would prefer
to control these in a linear fashion by moving up and down, this can be set in the myDMX GO settings
which is accessible from the iPad settings on iPad, or the menu on Android.

APP INSTRUCTIONS
Strobe
Tapping the strobe button will flash the lights at different speeds depending on the value of the slider.
Dimmer
The slider on the right controls the brightness of all lights. You can control the brightness of each fixture
type, and flash the lights by tapping the Subs button.
Presets
The presets allow you to store a snapshot of your current show. There are 50 presets in total with 10
visible at a time. To jump to the previous/next bank of presets, swipe left/right along the bottom of the
screen. To store a preset, touch and hold it for 1 second, like with a car stereo! Choose a name for your
preset and tap “Save Preset”. Any manual channel values set on the fixtures screen will also be saved.

APP INSTRUCTIONS
Pulse
Music pulse sync uses the microphone of the tablet to listen to the music. When the volume level jumps
over a threshold, the effect will jump to the next section. The threshold is calculated automatically
depending on the volume level.

Sync
Sync effects are designed to sync music, either with a BPM (beats per minute) to create a consistent
beat-matched effect, or via the music pulse where the effects pause when the music stops.
1. Tap the square button next to Moves or Colors to sync the respective effects with the BPM, a
metronome icon will appear.
2. Tap a second time to sync with the pulse, a microphone icon will appear.
3. Tap again to stop the sync, a clock icon will appear.

When in BPM sync mode, the speed control of the effects will change from a slider to a selector
allowing you to choose the beat division. For example, if you have the disco effect selected, the 1x will
change the color on each beat, the 2x will change the color every 2 beats, and the 1/2x will change
the color twice for each beat.

APP INSTRUCTIONS
BPM - Tap
Be sure the Color or Move effects are in BPM mode with the metronome icon visible. Once visible, tap
the BPM with the TAP button at least 3 times.

BPM - Ableton Link (iPad only)
myDMX GO can sync with over 100 different apps and software using Ableton Link. This is the most
accurate way to sync your lights with the music. To set up Ableton Link:
1. Ensure that the Ableton Link device and myDMX GO are on the same network.
2. Open your Ableton Link compatible software and enable LINK (refer to the software/app user manual).
3. Open the myDMX GO menu and tap “Ableton Link” (at the bottom).
4. Tap “Ableton Link”.

When Ableton Link is enabled, you will see “LINK” written in the top right.
Note: the displayed BPM is rounded to the closest number, the BPM that is analyzed and used for
processing is much more accurate.

APP INSTRUCTIONS
MIDI (iPad Only)
The effect buttons, preset buttons, flash buttons and sub master dimmers can be controlled by MIDI.
This is a bonus feature and custom mappings are not currently possible. If you have a controller such as
an Elation or Behringer controller, you can normally modify the commands the controller sends (refer to
the respective user manuals for further info). To control myDMX GO via MIDI, you’ll need a Lightning to
USB adapter.
The MIDI mappings are as follows:
Color Effects 1-8: Note 40-47
Move Effects 1-8: Note 48-55
Presets 1-8: Note 39-32
Presets 9-16: Note 31-24
Presets 17-24: Note 23-16
Presets 25-32: Note 15-8
Presets 33-40: Note 7-0
Sub master dimmers 1-8: CC 48-55
Sub flash buttons 1-8: Note 64-71
Master dimmer: CC 56
Strobe button: Note 56
Flash buttons 1-5: Note 58-62
TAP button: Note 63

APP INSTRUCTIONS
Other Settings
The settings screen can be accessed from the myDMX GO menu.
1. Light Cloud details - The name and e-mail address of the Light Cloud account is displayed here.
Light Cloud allows you to synchronize data with other apps and devices. In future this will include
fixture profiles, projects and in-app purchases.
2. Automood Mode - Determines if an effect is synchronized to the BPM or pulse when Automood
is activated.
3. Rotary Dials - Dials will be controlled by moving in a circle instead of up and down.
4. Custom Dial (iPad only) - Allows for the dial in the middle to control the size of an iris or the speed
of a roller barrel.
5. Lock Fixtures Screen - Locks the possibility to add/remove/change the order of fixtures. This can
