Freestyler - External Control
Posted: 13 Nov 2015, 18:42
I've done a search and didn't find what I was looking for. I've used Freestyler before, but gave up several years ago, as external control is a requirement.
This is for a band.
Here is the current setup....
Elation Show Designer 2
- each song has a set of scenes that control lighting looks
- each song is setup as a page on the SD2
- our lighting guy selects the page (which corresponds to the song) and fires off scene 1, then 2, then scene 3, and may go back to scene 2 or other scene.
- each scene button press snaps to the new scene and does not stack the previous scene
I want this same process by using Freestyler (or any DMX software for that matter). What external control do I need, and how do I go from page to page (song to song), and then select scenes?
Thanks for any input - I'd really like to make this work. ...but the SD2 is SO each to operate in a live band situation.
