Hey guys. I have just purchased a Chamsys MagicQ Maxi Wing and I was wondering if anyone had any tips to busking lets say a small 8 mover rig. Do people usually do the whole intensity, position, colour, gobo cue list on seperate playbacks or do you guys usually use the palette's that the board provides. Thanks in advance! I look forward to hearing your opinions!

I put intensity on a playback and use palettes for most other things. I'll typically program a playback to clear all attributes as well. For example, all US ML's will be pointed toward the stage with no color, gobos, prisms, and an open shutter. That way I don't have to go through all the attributes/palettes in order to get back to "start." This is my technique on any console, not just Chamsys.
What I've learned from using Chamsys over the past 3 or so years, everybody sets up their console far differently than users on any other console.
As far as myself, it really matters what kind of show I would be doing and if I have much time for programming at all. One area to look at - turn your cross fader into either the busking master or the playback rate master. Both are very useful, depending on how your setup your console.
The more programming time I have, the less I will use pallets. Also, an extra wing is a very nice addition to the maxi wing.
