I have just hired 4 moving lights to be used in 2 weeks time for a school Dance show; this is the first time I will have used moving lights and only have 1 week to get to grips with them! My school has a Zero88 Jester 48ML; I've hired 2 Martin Mac 250 Entours and 2 Martin 301 LED washes.
I'm really just asking for an overview of how to program them into memories/submasters. It's a dance show so am hoping to have just 1 memory (scene) for each dance - can multiple effects be added to just one memory, or is it a case of multiple memories throughout the dance for different effects?
I would like to 'sync' the lights to the bass beat of the music, for a 'pulse' effect - how do I achieve this?
Also, is it possible to program a sequence of the lights moving to the music, like a lightshow? For example (and excuse the song, it's just that I know many people will know it), take "Eye of the Tiger" and the first beats of the music, "duh, duh duh duh, du du duuuuuuh": I would like the lights to flash on the first 4 "duhs", but then to light up and move upwards on the longer, more sustained, "duuuuuuh". Bear in mind I have a Jester ML; I have read somewhere about having software on the PC where you can 'bookmark' parts of the song and, via a USB-to-MIDI cable, these bookmarks would trigger memories/chases on the board, ensuring that it would be in-time.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated,
Many thanks in advance, Jamie Conibear.
