What kind of lighting board are you using? dose it have move in black programing???
It may help to first explain what i'm trying to achieve. The lighting is all 1w
LED for a regional touring band. A Cubase program runs the lights. There are sixteen Elation Design 36, eight Design 36WA, Sixteen Optima ILED 30, and sixteen Chauvet splash 2. Basically all color changers. All I'm required to do is write simple scenes, assign them to
midi note numbers then record the
midi commands in the Cubase program which also plays the 'click
track" or pilot
track which the drummer monitors. The lighting is in perfect sync with the dynamics of the music and fully automated for the duration of the show. The band wanted to add some movement so i chose the
LED Q-Spot 150's. All
LED because of
power limitations at various one-nighter venues.
What I need from the moving lights ia a simple pan and tilt solid color sweep to add to each scene of the color changers. No gobos,strobes,
etc. Since the show is fully automated run by a Cubase program the lighting dealer that sold the
LED's suggested I go with an inexpensive controller that would simply write scenes and act to convert
midi back from the laptop. He said the Optima 1216J with a joystick could also incorporate the moving lights. To sum it up I just need to be able to program a side to side or up and down sweep in solid color into the scenes that are already being run.
