I too could join the few that find it fairly simple to control ML's on an Express. That probably stems from the fact that it was the first board I learned many years ago, and as the theatre got ML's, I had plenty of time to play with them on that board. I have designed quite complicated shows...

Thanks so much for all the input! To clear a few things up: This is for a tiny theatre at a small community college that mainly does speaker events. They bought some low end ML's and then invested in a couple of Martin color washes. They do not have a theatre department but put on about...

Thanks for your help! For this particular application, I think the ETC Express is nearly perfect, but I wanted some outside opinions. They bought a Leprecon board, and as was suggested on here, it's pretty much a pain. They have now asked me what kind of light board I suggest.... I didn't...

Any suggestions on light boards that are user friendly and are capable of using a few moving lights with? (for people who have no experience with ML's or anything more than a simple two scene preset board)... And of course, they would be on a budget... Thanks!

Thank you!!!! I certainly will let you know if I end up using it again! I have a pretty good knowledge base so I got the hang of it fairly quickly, I just don't think it's very user friendly, particularly for the application it is in at that theatre. I just made it a very simple thing, and...

I used it, and I don't like it. Has anyone used this board successfully without coming out of the deal hating it? Just wondered what practical applications this board is used FOR..... It doesn't really work that well for a lecture hall or small theatre performances. The warnings on how the...

I spent about an hour last night reading through the manual (also downloaded the offline software). I came to the conclusion that it just pretty much sucks, and I'm not particularly interested in learning it!But maybe some people like it. I just figured I would research it a bit because I'm...

Thanks! :)

I may be having a brain fart, but I just simply can't find the Leprochan website... Do they have one, or is the manufacturer another company? I want info on this board, offline software if they have it, but at least a manual to download. I have googled it with various spellings and haven't had...

nope, they aren't bubbling or breaking- just get black inside. it could be that the lamps are old too, and they weren't taken care of or stored well AT ALL. Anyway, I have to order some more lamps, so I wanted to make sure to order the correct ones!! thanks!

well, I'm having lamps blow every couple of days, which isn't all that common for me, so I wondered if the wrong lamps weren't in those instruments. Understand that there was NO documentation whatsoever when I got here, and these instruments are so old that the only way I was able to identify...

I am the M.E. at a summer theater, got here a few weeks ago and it was a complete disaster! All is well now, but I have some questions. It's been several years since I've seen any old altman instruments. After organizing all the lamps, I noticed that the EHG, EGG, and FEL's all looked nearly...

I have used an express console with 7 scanners. the two martin 918's had the most attributes and therefore took up the most channels. At the time, I was in college, had no experience with movers or a console designed for movers. It was not difficult to do on an express. a few years later I...

The macro sounds fine for the ML's, but think about if you really want your color scrollers to go all the way to zero each time... if you have a lot of them they can be really loud if you don't have music playing to cover it up. I've not worked on the expression, but I have spent quite a bit of...

I saw a thread on here, and now can't seem to find it.... Someone mentioned a free design program I think? I'm just looking for something simple that will give the crew a visual plot to look at because I'll be in meetings the day they hang it. It doesn't have to generate the instrument...
