Default Re: strand 520

95% sure you're correct. I have Strand 300 desk that should be arriving in the next week or so. When the vendor came out to demo it, he talked about what you're describing. The P buttons up top actually run macros, I believe, so, what you would do is record a macro that said "Cue 123 Go", and assign it to P3 or something.

The Stradn 300 is the same operating systme, without as many channels and DMX universes, and those wheels, adn some other high-end gadgetry. One of the coolest things, I think with the Light Plaette OS that it runs, with regard to movers at least is this: You have a cue where a intelli fixture is moving around, it comes down, and is pointed at zone 3. Three cues later, it has to start at zone 5. Rahter than running a blackout cue to move & color & whatever it, the Strand desk will automatically reposiiton it for the next cue.

My vendor for this stuff gave me a pretty nice hour or two demo of the thing, I can probably answer other questions about the board, as I got to see most of it in action.
