Okay, right now moving lights for my school are at least a year away if the happen at all, but i cann't help but drool over the concept of having them. When the prospect of getting mls first arouse i ran immeadiatly to our boards manual (ETC Express 125) and read up on the movng light section. from there i concluded that wihile teh express is an awesom board its lack of encoders could be annoying.
my question is, is it inefficient to load each channel control each attribute onto a sub master and use that as a jury-rig encoder? with 10 pages of subs and only 4 possible lights (old crapy moving mirrors, but hey THEY MOVE!!!!!!)i think i have enough room for everything but am i missing an easy was to do this .
given, the express dose have a track pad for x,y but to my knowledge you could only use that for one light at a time makng running a live show more difficult. preprogramed stuff would be eaisier with cues and everything.
possible preprogrammed chases into subs? seems a bit limiting....
anyway... i feeling like i'm begining to ramble....
