Faders. Helps to have faders as some things just need a slider going up or down.
If using
LED or movers than get some touch screens. We used 2 older and smaller ELO’s and when
ETC came out with the
magic sheet we jumped right on that to configure functional screens to attempt to replicate what an MA can do. Lots of color palettes, beam palettes,
macro’s,
gobo images and buttons to get at fixtures and groups,
etc..... lots of things you can do with magic sheets.
