Showtec Scanmaster style desk in 'dumb' mode

Recommended Posts

Hi, getting the lighting sorted for next week has been a bit of a kick ###### scramble so sorry for all the posts and thanks for all the help.

 

I am getting a 4 channel dimmer for the tungsten and some LEDS.

 

Was wondering if I got a DJ scanner type desk would I use it in a fairly dumb mode and map a single fixture to the following to give a basic busking style setup for casual use (will use magicQ for more sophisticated stuff).

 

sliders Purpose

1-4 - QTX DP4 dimmer pack

5-8 banks 1 of 4 chanel leds.

9-12 banks 2 of 4 channel leds.

 

I guess it depends on how the fixtures mapped to the fixture buttons on the desk.

 

alternatively are there any fairly cheap 12 or 24 channel dumb desks?

Think it would be really helpful if you told members exactly what your budget is for a desk..... "fairly cheap" is relative to the budget.

 

£60ish but there is some wiggle room and used is OK.

 

I know this is peanuts but I have managed to double the whole budget to £300.

 

The joys of community, not for profit, unfunded;).

PS was looking at NICOLS LIGHTING EFFECT C-516 but its very limited and does hot have 2 sets of sliders. I also found Behringer EUROLIGHT LC2412 but have heard they are a bit flakey;(.
