bought the controller for American DJ Revo 4 LED DMX-512 Moonflower. but you need the controller not mandatory. the controller can be the revo or else he -but what to send to the stand by is anyway always on or just off the different effects -mostly retrieve individually or almost always runs in eh zufallsmodus- the cable is eternal long and would extend every So the thing is ok man, it is not required but eigenlich 5 stars because it has nothing to expose the product ....
