 While the BEYOND Performer Console can work with any setup, it is designed around a baseline live control install, which enables a number of “plugins”. The simplest option is to use the full zipped up install provided below.

+https://download.pangolin.com/lyra/BEYOND55-BEYOND-Performer-Console.zip
 With the zip folder, just extract it to your C Drive, and run the BEYOND.exe. You can also right click on it and send to desktop to create a desktop shortcut. With that you just need to plug in the controller, run that version, and it will work.

 All of which will be downloadable on this page, and in the install.

 This zone file is designed to be a very good default zone file for live shows. Broken down into 4 groups of 8 lasers, it can serve many setups very well.

 The project that started this whole thing off was remapping the default content workspace to the first 1 Color channels. This enables users to change the color channels and update the entire workspace content to those colors, allowing recoloring of cues without removing the color pattern of a cue, generally an important aspect to its creative intent.

+===== How to Modify the midi controller =====
+Those who purchased the BEYOND Performer Console gets access to our paid course on Midi Mapping, the final video in the series covers particulars to the BPC. Its recommended to watch the entire midi mapping course to first understand the applicable functions, codes, and tools associated with midi mapping.
+https://pangolin.com/products/how-to-program-midi-control-surfaces
+To access the course, go to the link below, just be logged into the account on the pangolin.com website that you ordered your BPC from. Or, go to Pangolin.com and go to your account, then click "Courses" the Midi mapping course will be available there.
+===== Optional Extras =====
+If you dont like the small plastic knobs on the small knobs, there is a larger metal knob that fits here:
+[[https://www.tme.com/us/en-us/details/kmk10b/knobs-for-shaft-potentiometers/cliff/fc7249/]]
+But then the space between them gets a little small, so we decided to stick with the thinner plastic knobs.
+There is also lots of larger fader caps that will fit if you want wider caps on top of the faders, for example:
+[[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CX5CN2ZY/ref=vp_d_fuw_pd?_encoding=UTF8&pf_rd_p=5afb6df2-0330-43f3-8d70-fc8d166eab85&pf_rd_r=J23D5D553ZWQ674QJC7C&pd_rd_wg=xlGkj&pd_rd_i=B0CX5CN2ZY&pd_rd_w=uq83P&content-id=amzn1.sym.5afb6df2-0330-43f3-8d70-fc8d166eab85&pd_rd_r=04a8f62a-0df4-486d-be6f-39dabba2b2c1&psc=1]]
+The controller comes with a soft case, but if you want a Pelican to put it in, this is the smallest that will fit the controller, but its deeper then necessary, could probably fit two on top of each other in there. Or just use it for your controller, laptop a switch etc.
+[[https://www.pelican.com/us/en/product/cases/1550?sku=1550-000-110]]
+The controller is 18 inches wide, and 14 inches deep, and about 2.25 inches high, so it will fit in a 2u rack shelf as well for your consideration.
