How suitable is a Hog3PC with one playback wing for busking a moderate sized rig? I was able to get a few minutes on a Hog iPC a few months ago, and really liked it. We currently have (4) Coemar ProSpot 250 XLs, (2)MAC 600s, (12) ADJ LED PARs, and 42 dimmer channels. I put in a proposal this week to purchase quite a number of movers, realistically far more than I expect to get, along with a Hog3PC. But hopefully we'll be getting more gear soon!
Anyway, with our style of music and our current Leprecon console, I program in little shallow playbacks, usually less than 8 scenes, and recall them on the fly. But with the Hog it seems that one is able to recall color, position, gobo, and effect settings, independent of a recorded scene. So how does the playback wing figure into things? Would I be able to use it to, for instance, control the speed of a strobe effect or speed of a movement?
How hindered will I be without any touch screens?
Without beginning a whole "my console is better than yours" war, is there a better solution? Our budget is slim, hence the Hog 3PC, a used playback wing (only because I insisted), and freebie computer.
