I have a few quick questions about the Scene Setter 24 I just picked up very cheap from a buddy(who, self-admittedly, has no interest in lighting). It belonged to somebody else in his band and that guy's brother did any programming for them. It's primary role will be with my "B" PA system, with occasional uses elsewhere. It doesn't have to be AMAZING. Most bands around here almost detest lights as much as most sound techs. I prefer the show to be as good as the music.
1) I have only found information stating that the SS can only operate 24 channels. That is correct, right? I should be able to work with that, just want to make sure. I won't even get into the mess of dealing with MIDI software until I'm thoroughly convinced I hate myself.
2) Are the channels/faders assignable? I programmed a Chauvet Obey 40 for a local club a few years ago, when I overhauled their whole lighting system. (That's a story for another time.) The Obey 40 allows for fader reassignment. Example: "X" fixture has 4 channels, R, G, B, & Dimmer, in that order. I could reassign them to any order I needed for the controller. I made the RGB channels the same as the RGB of another fixture but kept the Dimmers separate.
If I'm over/understating things, please let me know. My use of the proper terminology should be graded on a curve. I'm a musician first and foremost, and sound tech for "fun" when I don't have gigs lined up.
Thanks in advance, and I hope I can contribute to the forums in the future.
