Hey all,
I’m a big fan of the console, its allowed me to do some pretty unorthodox effects. What I think would take effects to the next level would be 2 things:
-
controls that allow you to momentarily ‘pause’ a fixture at different points in its cycle during the pan/tilt effect and pause for different periods of time including indefinitely until the next cue.
-
the ability to program the rate of acceleration and deceleration of moving effects. It would add a more realistic movement to fixtures if they accelerated and decelerated. Think of a rubber band type of movement where the illusion of energy is being stored and then the fixture accelerates vs speeds up at a consistent rate and moves at a consistent rate. Yeah, there is cue timings that can be adjusted to mimic this movement, but that’s global whereas I would want individual control.
while I’m at it:
- pan/tilt effects that move through a shape and then reverse that movement after completing the shape
Thanks all, I look forward to creating lights with what you’ve brought in the lighting console. Keep making it better!
