i honestly think you need to do a lot more reading before you buy anything. DMX is very different to midi as a specification. Do you know how to attribute the lighting fixtures and what lighting control software will you be interfacing with ?

​

There is a max external for the dmx usb pro so you could build something in there.

I find the easiest way is to program all my looks on the lighting desk and then have the entec fire either cue stacks or values to vary sub masters.

you need to select multiple rather than single in the export window, you can choose all the tracks there you want to export

You should check out the entec DMx usb pro. Don’t get the non pro as it doesn’t have a buffer so is pretty unstable. The easiest way is to send dmx or midi directly to the lighting desk unless you have a lighting app like the chamsys.

this is why i bought a bluetooth numberpad.
