Description
MADRIX is just another lighting control software that uses a huge .mflx file (in xml format) as fixture library.
Interesting facts:
- It supports outputting in e:net format that is understood by the e:cue butler (See manual)
- It also seems to support MA lighting fixtures (as of download page)
