iamchristuffin Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 You need to get a controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakkyboi Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 You can also put them on auto if thats any good. I use that quite a lot for disco's and works well for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhuson Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 What do you mean by 'auto'? There is no 'auto' mode on a MAC 250+, if your referring to the in built test sequence then this really isn't suitable for anything other than checking the fixtures functionality.

whitehousejamie Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I think he means 'demo'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisD Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 As the very proud owner of a pair of 250+s, I can vouch for the fact that you definately do need a controller. No two ways about it. You ain't got a hope in heck of making anything look half decent with them running test mode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dosxuk Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Have you used a masterpiece before? They work in a very strange way compared to most other lighting desks and if you're not used to it, you will hit problems. Once you've made those mistakes, they're reasonably quick to pick up though. (I was threatening to lob one down a ski slope in March as it'd annoyed me that much and I'd used it before! - they're also known as disasterpieces by a large number of people, although they do have fans) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick LX Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Yeh. I have had a lesson on how to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bleasdale Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 If you have had training then fair enough. I just thought that maybe there could have been better suited desks for this job. Obviously they need to be easy to program for disco's, so you dont have to spend hours for one disco. Also, like previously stated, you will probably run into problems. however if you like the desk and are confident with it then carry on!

Nick LX Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 I find it easier to use a desk that I am confident with. Just like I prefer using ETC Express instead of Congo, purely because I know so much more about the Express, although I am learning the Congo.
