Technobeam LCD Controller and Trackspots

They have this new thing... Its called DMX...:p
Try it!
Unless you like being tied to 2-3 controllers and doing 3X the work.:no:
There are a lot of simple controllers out there the function well and are easy to use. O and yes! 1 cable! Those old controllers are sooo 1992.:D

omg that is bring back such bad memories- my first club was an intellebeam lcd, 2x cyber lcd, 2x techno lcd, studio color lcd, emulator lcd, af1000 mini, plus a mlc128, pulsar touch, lightronic 16way dimmer board ... trying to black all that stuff out when the music dropped out was insane!

I used to use these controllers a lot and used analoge switching through a lighting console coupled with audio control. Although it may be longwinded on the programming front, I.e. make scene then copy and past to next mem and change, copy past etc etc you will get looks that, if coupled with audio, have a completely different feel to tadays "hit and miss" easy to compile stack synth creations. one tip would be to make your positions exagerated. That way the audio clip will have a natural in sync smooth flow that is difficult to achieve with "Modern Technology" Audio dimmer control is beautiful if subtlety is your goal.
P.S I dont think there is any strobe control to touch the dedicated 24 channel Af 1000 controller (depending on your chip ste)

I understand what you are saying, because I did this for years. To get the same feel on a more modern console, just program chases and don't use on-board FX generators.

LOL - I spent too many years stuck without them .. why on earth would I want to torture myself like that! :poke:

Well for one, sometimes programming a chase is much faster. And also it is easier to go back and edit a chase as oppesed to a more complex layered FX engine cue.

Don't get me wrong, I use the FX engine all the time. Especially now that we've got more power via Repeats and Buddies. Yet still, on occasion you can't beat a well programmed chase to get the right "feeling".:hogsign:

True true -- I tend to use them whem my mathmatical skills aren't quite working .. haha :684:

I tried it just to see what would happen and it will not work.

Duh...:dunce:
