I currently have:
6 - S4 (4 of which have color scrollers)
6 - Elation DLED 36 RGB
1 - Elation Show Designer
1 - Elation Opto Branch
I am going to be adding rear truss and will be placing
4 - Moving Head Spots (probably Design Spot 250)
6 - LED cans (probably ADJ64P)
4 - (Really would like to add 3 or 4 of the Tri64Brick but this is ?)
I currently can make the show designer work by grouping some fixtures but I am wondering if it will make sense to jump to a PC based program such as Compu 1024 EC or FC. The most important thing is that I currently control the Show Designer via Behringer MIDI footswitch. Whatever software I use I will have to be able to control via midi. Also, I am curious if others think programming scenes and chases are easier using a PC? Finally I generally set up 10 static looks and then use overlays to add movement, built in programs, strobing, etc. I can do this with the Show Designer 1 can I do this with the 1024 EC or FC? Please let me know all of your thoughts with the advantages and disadvantages of software vs. Show Designer1. Thanks!
