Based on your request, here are a few options for a post about Avolites Titan PC Suite, tailored for different platforms (like Facebook, LinkedIn, or a Forum).
Part 3: Hardware Options – The Keys to the Kingdom
As mentioned, the software is free, but to unlock DMX output, you need a hardware key. Avolites offers a tiered system:
- Titan One (The Entry Point): A small USB dongle. Outputs 1 universe (512 channels) of DMX. Perfect for small bands, DJs, or corporate events. It includes physical MIDI input for external control.
- Titan Go Plus (The Tablet Runner): A small box that connects via WiFi. Best used with the Titan Go app for busking environments.
- Titan Mobile (The Classic): A desktop wing with physical playback faders, encoders, and a touch wheel. Outputs 16 universes via ArtNet or 5-pin DMX.
- T2 (The Hybrid): A new generation processor that slides between PC software and standalone console use.
Note on Versions: Using a Titan One dongle requires you to install the version of the software that matches the dongle’s firmware. Always check compatibility on the Avolites website. avolites+titan+pc+suite
Key Capabilities:
-
Context-Aware Fader Pages
- Automatically switches fader banks when you enter Patch, Palette, Group, or Cue List editing.
- Example: While patching fixtures, faders become DMX address / fixture type adjusters; while busking, they revert to playbacks.
-
Hybrid Fader + FX Mapping
- Assign a single fader to control multiple parameters (e.g., intensity + speed of an FX engine + color crossfade) with user-defined curves.
- Each fader can have a “secondary layer” (e.g., hold Shift or long-press on the on-screen fader to toggle between intensity and pan/tilt fine control).
-
Gesture-Swiped Fader Banks
- On a touchscreen, swipe left/right or up/down across the fader section to instantly flip between banks — with smooth animation and haptic feedback (if supported).
- Each bank can be color-coded and labeled with custom icons.
-
Smart Snapshots & Morphing
- Take a “Fader Canvas Snapshot” of all current fader assignments and values.
- Morph between two snapshots across all faders (like a master crossfader for an entire fader wing) — great for transitional show segments.
-
Direct MIDI/OSC Learn for Each Canvas Slot
- Right-click any on-screen fader → “Learn external controller” — assign a physical fader, knob, or even a game controller joystick axis.
- Supports multiple external surfaces simultaneously (e.g., two MIDI controllers + touch faders all active).
8. Networking for Real Fixtures
- Set PC static IP (e.g.,
192.168.1.100).
- Open Titan Broker (runs automatically).
- In Titan: System → Network → TitanNet – enable.
- Configure Art-Net: DMX Settings → Add Art-Net node → assign universes.
- Send output: Make sure DMX Output Active is checked.
For Titan PC Wing: install driver, connect USB, enable External DMX in settings. Based on your request, here are a few
