Help choosing a dmx controller

[jcassidy92]

Hi guys, we currently have 2x 24 channel dimmers. 1x 12 channel dimmer. Zero 88 Elera Lighting Desk. 2x LED Pars. 2x dmx scanners, hazer, led lighting effect and also about 35 generic lights.

Eventually we want to get an Avolite Pearl Tiger. But before that we want to buy something that would cost no more than £300. Something either usb/ software or controller. That could do us that has fixtures built in etc or... something that has built in circles so i press that utton and the scanners go in a circle motion, like that sort of thing.

Thankyou, all help appreciated

Hi there. Welcome to the forum....

I LOVE Chamsys. I started using it on an old HP laptop and an Enttec USB Pro, then evenutally bought an Asus EETop computer... now I have a PC wing.

My youth techs love using it! Its not as pretty and windows-ish as the Jands Vista or Light Jockey but works great and has an amazing set of nuts and bolts programming features that make it super cool...

For your budget you might find Daslight PC-Controller works quite well, We got it as a short term fix but still use it!

However, Now I'm also considering getting the chamsys PC Wing setup, looks awesome!

CHAMSYS! I just love saying it!
