Nicolaudie Sushi-DS USB DMX Controller

I saw the LightRider App at BPM and decided to get this dongle in to test it out. It works very well and can also be used with PC/Mac software, so for <£30 you've a pretty compact DMX dongle that works with a lot of different software.

I bought this as a quick replacement for a faulty ADJ myDMX buddy. I didn't have time to wait for a warranty process using a rival supplier so took my chances this would work. When you buy this unit, you have to have to buy the fully specified software to get the most of it. Daslight is probably the best software for this and is identical the ADJ software. As the software license is tied to the interface, you may need to request a registration transfer from the software vendor if you're buying this as a replacement. The heart of this interface is an inexpensive chip which should almost be treated like a 'fuse' - They are relatively easy to replace and buy online and you'll find details from Nicolaudie on how to do it. They'll also offer to send you a more reliable chip than the one that this unit ships with. Yes, you do need to jump through a few hoops to get everything running sweetly, but to get DMX control at this level for around £100 (including a purchase of Daslight) is a pretty good deal. I manage to run Daslight and Traktor, midi-synced on the same moderately powerful laptop and can assign control to something like an Akai APC mini (I've actually used a Traktor F1 to do it) I'd give it 5 stars were it not for the faffing around and not being able to use a second unit as a back-up due to the way the software licensing works.

Easy to use, worked straight away from the box. Much better success than other budget interfaces I've tried.

Great bit of kit, easy to use, works very well and the free software is a bonus. Works with light rider app in android.

No instructions. Choice of free dmx control software.

Great product

spent a bit of time setting this up - hardly any instructions - gone to the product website - and downloaded every free DMX controlling software it had on its site. Had to in the end register the product on the manufacture web page - this is the only way you can have the DMX controller working with the software available to download on its site. But once done you can controller your lights though one of many DMX programs. It is cheap for a reason - that is to get you to spend more on the full versions of the DMX controller software (for example - Daslight 4 is only trial 30 days - and have to purchase for full version - and this is registered in the DMX controller). Saying that - I have got now my lights being controlled with the Sushi and have them being wirelessly controlled on my iPad.

Thought this would be good way to DMX my lights. But you need to download a program to your laptop then plug this in, then connect to DMX. Fine in theory but the program was way to complex for me.... So bought an Obey 40 instead.

Amazing
