Artist 3

Artist can be downloaded and installed free of charge. The free software license will expire  after 30 days if not registered with ShowCAD Control Systems. See Help/About.. or the Status window to see the license state. See Registration for how to register.

This is the third generation of our flag ship show control software. It can coexist with Artist 2 and Artist Compact without conflict.

Upgrading

For the most part loading Artist version 2 workspaces will convert to the new format. There is the possibility that DMX , MIDI and Digital interface may not be connect after conversion. This is easily resolved by connecting the appropriate interface in Resources/Input Output Patch.
