Sorry for the noob questions!
I'm in a band, and we play a few small clubs/bars. To liven up our practices we purchased several LED lighting effects: REVO II, Pearl LED, LED DMX Moonflower. All three of these are DMX supported. We plan on getting a couple more of these, and one or 2 spots, and adding all of this to our live shows.
However we are complete newbies when it comes to this. If anyone can help with the following questions, it would be greatly appreciated!
- Since these LEDs are all RGB + White, is it possible to change the hues using a controller? Such as being able to make purple or orange colors?
- What would be the basic setup for doing this? Would we need anything else besides a controller for doing this? We're trying to figure out the differences/advantages of the Elation Stage Setter 8, and the Elation DMX Programmer. Keep in mind the scope of all of this. We just want certain songs/parts of songs to have different hues/tempos from the lighting. Nothing tooooo fancy.
My understanding is that once the show information is recorded it can be uploaded into the DMX Duo controller (which can be rackmounted into my guitar rack, thus eliminating us carrying the programmer along to shows.) Is this correct?
I greatly appreciate any advice all you experts can give!
