[PD] Pd & a lighting console

[Ian Smith-Heisters]

Just what I was about to say. One other hint: I was looking into this a 
while ago, and there's lots of programs on sourceforge for controlling 
DMX. Since there's no Pd external for DMX (that I'm aware of), and it is 
very likely one of the SF projects includes OSC support, your control 
chain would look like this:

PD -> OSC -> SF DMX Program -> USB to DMX adapter -> Rockstar Lights

Cheers,
Ian
