control for new mx10's

[cabba]

I recently picked up a couple of martin mx10's for a song and was wondering if anyone could recomend a decent controller that dos'nt cost the earth ie under 500 as all I have currently is a stairville thing (thing being the only way to decribe it really) and a strand mx24 which dos'nt really like them,I've been looking at some pc based stuff and after reading comments on here am I right in thinking you can buy an interface ie enttec and use it to run other software ie chamsys.

also regarding pc stuff is there anything else you guys would recommend or advise against!

thanks you time and help is appriceated

Hi Cabba,

 

At work we often use a pc software called sunlight. It is a software that uses a DMX interface to your units. I find it good but it can sometimes be a pain in the neck.

 

It all depends on what you need it for. If it is just little light shows then it is great because it is quick and easy to programme but there is no way I would want to use it for any big shows. It can be a little slow when working with intelligent lighting but perfect for LED.

 

e mainly put it into night club installs so like I said if this is the kind of thing you will be doing it is great for it!

 

Sam
