I have 2 American DJ Megaflash strobe lights and an Elation DMX Operator controller. What I'm trying to do is: we're an 80's band doing a big show Friday night. We want to use 2 mini trampolines on stage and jump up and down to the beat of a song and have the strobe lights flash only when the band members are in the air. With all of our testing using what I currently have, we've found it to be nearly impossible to set the strobe rate and have it stay at the "needed" rate. It drifts "off" because we're not necessarily jumping at and exactly consistent rate/fluctuating drummer's tempo not withstanding. ha ha So I'm needing a DMX controller/strobe lights combination that will flash when the person operating the controller hits the button. We plan to have a musical person hitting the flash button on a controller of some kind that will cause the strobes to flash on when they are hitting the flash button. And if that button would keep the strobes lit until the button is released, that's even better!
I was also looking at Chauvet MegaStrobe FX 12s and see that it can be used as a static "white wash" light. So it sounds like 2 of those would do the trick from the strobe side if the Megaflashes won't. The next part of the puzzle is the controller.
D=o you guys know of a controller that has a "flash" button or hot key or something that I can program to turn on the Megflashes or the MegaStrobes FX 12s and keep them on till the button is released (sort of a momentary flash if that makes sense?) If it will only flash the strobes and not hold them "on" till the button is released, that would be OK as well. Any input is MUCH appreciated!
