How to Disconnect DMXControl

Disconnect DMXControl from your lighting controller in order to troubleshoot or uninstall the software from your computer. DMXControl is a open-source application, capable of creating and controlling complex lighting and stage equipment sequences. DMX, or "DMX512-A," is a standard for communications between lighting and stage production devices that was set by the Entertainment Services Technology Association. A MIDI controller or keyboard is generally used to transfer MIDI signals to DMXControl, which is attached by way of a MIDI interface to your audio card's MIDI port. Remove DMXControl from your setup in fewer than five minutes.
