There are a few ways to improve that. Some are illegal, others are not. Lucid dreaming is interesting, or meditation, which is often underestimated in the creative process.

I only got the demo as well.

Well, in case of an urgency, drlava can provide a temporal license that doesn't require a dongle, but you need a DAC to be able to use the program anyway, so not sure if there is a point.

Unless it's a QM2k, no...

No Dream, Pangolin software/hardware is locked to Pangolin products (except QM2K I think).Will a pangolin DAC which comes with the projector work?
LSX does support lots of other DACs, including Riya, Etherdream, Easylase, medialas, EasyAudDac, JMlaser and others.

Lasercam does not need a DAC to build ILDA files, only if you want live preview out of the laser.
If your going to need to load ilda files to a standalone device. I believe QS will not export ILDA files, saw your post wanting them. The QM2K showtime will export ILDA. Something to keep in mind.

Then step back, look at the bigger picture, generality (which is the point of my posts, I knew it would come to this). Above all, don't lose sight of what you want to do.

No worries, fast moving thread, it never strays far. My dreams are lucid, most times, colour, real intensity, it;'s aspirations that bother me.There are a few ways to improve that.

Now we are off topic!Once I get close to a big one all the others fall away. Much of my life was like a person with a grand to spend, thinking of all the things they might do with it, instead of going with one choice to live with. Even though I actually accomplish a bit now, it's still a very mixed bag. Jack of too many trades, and barely master of even one at a time.

Yes there's no reason why you can't do that as QS imports ILDA or at least it did last time I looked at it.
As for exporting it back out of QS to a standalone SD card DAC, (someone else's suggestion), why would you want to do that?
To take a step back from a flame war, unless there is some reason why you can't attach a computer to your projector via its DAC (whatever program or DAC that may be), then you should always do so. Built in SD cards were abandoned by Pangolin a while ago because of their limitations namely limited memory and the fact that pretty much all you can do is flash through frames one after another. The whole point of having software on the PC and a DAC connected to a projector is you have no limits on what you can do because if the program fits on the computer then so does the content. Unlike an SD card you're not limited to a small number of frames. You can also control the laser live and tailor your projections to the music. You can pre-programme shows and play those back pre-sync'ed to the music. .... and if you have QS or Beyond, then you have the most advanced automated play back system ever in the form of VLJ which allows the computer to select cues and effects and play these back automatically cued by the number of beats in the music. You can even layer the cues and effects the only limitation being the ultimate frame rate in the laser itself.
So to summarise, there's very little reason to use an onboard DAC and SD card as its inherently limited and this is why Pangolin having been one of the 1st to use such a system, abandoned it some time ago in favour of PC control. No matter what system you use be it a Pangolin program or LSX or any other system, pretty much the only reason why you want to utilise an SD card would be if the projector was somewhere where it was logistically impossible to connect a DAC and given that long runs of CAT5 are possible these days, there are very situations where that would ever arise and if it did what you could do would be severely limited by the SD card in any event. Most people who have SD card DAC's very rarely use the SD feature for that reason.
