Hi all,
I have been running shows off of an ETC Express 24/48 for the past 7 years (that's right we upgraded from a leprecon 624 to outdated technology)
As much as I would love to get an element or ion, it's just not in the budget.
We have a fairly small rig. 16 channels on 4 electrics above the stage. 4 hangable dimmers. and then 5 Philips Colorblaze 72s (generously testers from a parent who worked for them)
Part of the reason for wanting to upgrade is the huge disadvantage my students find themselves in when we go to schools during festivals with ions and we have 60 cues to program but are not familiar enough with the system to do it quickly.
An appreciative parent is offering to help pay for a more modest set up. I have tried to do some research using this forum and other places but wanted to make sure before I spent the money that this looks like a set up that would actually work together the way I wanted to.
ETC Nomad for Education (key and dongle)
MINISFORUM Fanless Silent Windows 10 Home (64-bit) Mini PC 4GB DDR3L RAM, 32GB eMMC, Ultra HD 4K Intel Quad Core CPU up to 1.92GHz, 2W SDP, 1000M LAN, Dual Band WiFi, BT 4.0, HDMI&VGA, 3 USB Ports
X-keys Programmable Keypads and Keyboards (60 Key, XK-60)
Eos key button overlay for x-keys
Korg Nanokontroller 2 x2 to get some sliders involved (I think there is a program that will let them communicate with nomad) I assume there is no way of using my old express's faders for the system.

Thanks all
