Looking for a good dmx controller. What are you guys using? Found DMX-50
(Chauvet) and the Freekie (Martin) which do you think is better (most band
for buck)? Any others?

Thanks
Ed

BTW:

Is anyone using any PC interfaces for lighting control (like light jocky) ??
If so would you recommand this over the hardware versions??

Thanks Again
Ed

Yeah I am using Light Jockey. It takes a while to get to know. But it makes
life easier if you need to be able to walk away from the lightshow and still
have it constantly changing. You can pick what colours and gobos you want
and when without having know DMX or colour numbers.

You can have hot keys on the keyboard also, that allow you to turn on
strobes change colours/gobos etc without using the mouse.

I am a fan.

If in UK the 'Light Jockey' from Showtec looks promising

I have 4 Second hand Martin Roboscans which came with a blank 2308
controller, I just cannot get on with programming the 2308 it's a piece of
s**t so i've recently been looking for a replacement DMX controller.

This one was also called the 'DJ Mingle' and is made in the far east so it
may be called other things in the US too but take a look...

not a great pic but you can see the faders which each control a single DMX
channel on your unit so one is gobo, one is colour, one is tilt, pan etc.
because its on faders you can very rapidly create scenes and then store them
into sequences before using them to create shows.

The unit has 30 shows hard-programmed in and you can greate 30 more.

UK cost is £140.00 very reasonable.
