    I have inserted a 5V optocoupler in place of the trigger-signal flow.

    I guess it depends what kind of strobe you have... For mine, he only input isn't dmx, but a 1/4" jack for some reason... And it would be awesome to be able to have a DIY controller for it.
    I believe that 1/4" jack is triggered by 12V signal. You should gogole the exact model. It very well could be that by varying the voltage on that input, you can get different strobing speeds. If so, it should still accept 5V fader-start signal. [if you are testing it, please use some old, disposable mixer, I wouldn't wanna be held responsible for anything]

    Sorry for the derail....

    So hypothetically, I could get an RCA out to 1/4" jack from a mixer (running music?) and then plug the jack into the strobe, and play with the cross fader... It should strobe?

    Edit:
    Even more to the point, would it be possible to have a separate box containing a button and a 5 or 9v power supply, and when you press the button, it completes the circiuit... Making a "pulse" or would that be too long?

    Alhough, with my mod, that too worked for me (in a very brief test, with lowpass filter on a hedphone-preamplified output) I was talking about fader start, not RCA/main/cue output.

    This second option would be more feasible. You could most probably run it if a 9V battery for increased portability (maybe event that tiny 12V).
    Again, depending on the model of your strobe, and purpose of that 1/4" input.

    Cheers. I might play around with some stuff later these holidays and see I I can get this to work

    So we have:
    Claw (tri) light, bar (or cans) but the bar is AMAZING! , a red green laser in the one unit. And a strobe on the left on the table.

    I also have my two pa speakers, sub underneath the table, and grooupies
    Oh and me :P

    Edit: HOW COULD I FORGET MY SMOKE MACHINE!?! . That also.
    That girl standing next to u is hot, how was the after party
