New Question on Page 2
Hey Everybody,
I'm looking for recommendations on a console for a bit of a strange multifunction space on a relatively low budget. It's a mix of basic theater, speakers, club, and band.
The space consists of two studio rooms (think smallish blackboxes) separated by a divider that can be opened. Both spaces never need direct operation simultaneously (one with parked lights up, the other with a basic theater performance), but may be operated individually. There is a load-in stage for bands and the like. The real oddity of this room is someone installed a Source Four Revolution directly between the two grids, so I need to be able to manipulate that.
Fixtures:
1 Source 4 Revolution
20 LED colorblast units (3 ch per unit, 60 ch total)
16 conventional lights (ERS, Pars)
6 balcklight units (could be patched into 2 groups)
I need the ability to run live as well as program chases (which would require control over each LED) as well as a way of controlling the revolution that is at least as tolerable as on an ETC Express.
I'm quite partial to ETC consoles, and totally fine with buying something used, but I feel an express 48/96 is overkill for the space, while a Smartfade ML might not be the best solution ether...
Budget is about 3k, ideally less but that seems to be our topout.
Thanks
