Hello everyone.
I am new to the forums, and new to DMX, and was wondering if you could help me with my current dilemma....


my band (http://www.kingshorses.ca)  has just started to take off, however we still dont have a professional company doing our lights/sound, we are doing all of it. we already own an american dj revo III

5 or 6 american dj led 64 pro

a Microh Virus 30 laser

and a american dj fog machine

what i need is a way to program these into a light show for my band. as you can see from our youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkzRF7W58Hk at about 1:10 you can see our lightshow and how erratic and uncontrolled it is. our revo and our laser are also capable of wayyy more things than we have them doing.

how can i program a lightshow for this situation. dont wanna have to bring in a light guy, i would rather program different scenes for different songs. and start the scene at the beginning of each song (or it would be better if we could trigger things with the kick drum/first beat of the song...)

can anyone reccomend any good solutions or boards/controllers???

A very good solution for operator-less band shows is the LanBox, [link]

Even better, you can control them from MIDI pedalboards.
