Default Re: Motorised faders for a scratch build lighting control system

It really intrigues me that people have such an affinity for the physical faders and the visual feedback from them (I think the latter is why most like them). I use a couple physical faders for submasters, but never individual channel control. Keyboard input is so much faster; typing "1-25@50" is so much easier than running up 25 faders and finding the level you want them at. So, save the encoders for your ML attributes and use the keypad!
Sometimes when you have never used anything other than a two scene preset, you just dont trust GO boards.

It is one thing to tinker in your garage, but what happens when the system just up and dies in the middle of a show and there is no support number you can call?
When that happens, your screwed. I have had amps just die during shows. It sucks, and at least I could call Crown.
