In general, the operation of Maxxyz PC is identical to that of the Maxxyz console. Listed below
are the differences.
• In order to "press and hold" a button in Maxxyz PC, right click on the desired button. The button
will remain "held" until it is clicked on again (either right or left click will release it).
• You can maximize any of the control areas by right clicking anywhere on it's black surface.
Clicking again on the black surface will restore it to it's previous size.
• You can launch the 3d Visualizer by clicking on the Menu button found to the left of the command
line. If using a laptop and an external monitor, it is recommended to keep the 3d visualizer on the
laptop screen and more the components of Maxxyz PC to the external monitor.
• Please note that when using the offline/non-hasp/free version of Maxxyz PC, only the first two
universes of DMX may be visualized.
• If you close the control surfaces (in order to get to the patch screen for example), you can bring
them back up by going to the Menu and selecting them.
• The easiest way to access the Patch screen is to close the programmer.
• Clicking the double arrows above the Undo button will open the Grand Master fader panel.
• You can add Maxxyz Playback Modules from the Menu. Set the address of each module by
using the interface found in the upper left hand corner of each module.
• A "Maxxyz" folder is added to the "My Documents" folder during installation. Showfiles are
accessed here.
• When using ArtNet, you will need to set your Ethernet IP to 2.1.128.1 with a subnet mask of
255.0.0.0

and output 2 universes of DMX. The DMX USB can be configured so that any of it's two DMX
ports can be assigned to any of the 32 universes of DMX that Maxxyz PC can generate.
