CUE PLAYER LIGHTING
for Yosemite MAC
 
    Free for now


Version 0.95 released 12/21/14.

Cue Player Lighting - is now available for Macs. It is my first release for the Apple world and you will undoubtably find it "smells" of Windows usability (like right clicks to edit a cue). Please consider it an early release and by all means tell me about any problems or issues with it. I have tried to package it properly in an App wrapper, but not having a clean Mac to test the install on, you may have startup problems. One thing I know needs doing is to disable the default FTDI driver that comes with the OS. It is incompatable with what FTDI wants you to use. Here is a link to both the proper D2XX drivers and to a tool to disable what comes with Yosemite. If you don't install the FTDI drivers first, CP Lighting will cause an exception. The Help file will explain all the features, but the images are from the Windows version. I say Yosemite compatable because that is what I have. It should also run on earlier OSX versions.
Enjoy, and let me know what you think.
Updated file as of 12/25/14. Third attempt to get all the files together.
