To DMX or not DMX..........That is the question.

Even with the number of effects, I wouldn't say it is 'pointless' to take some control over the effects for first dances etc ... ?

What exactly are you going to do with a dotty effect and some pars for a first dance?

Pars can be set to fade or static on their own without DMX and you wouldn't be using the other effect for a first dance.

As I said....pointless.

I'll agree, it isn't the greatest lightshow, but getting that control at your fingertips has some merit IMO.

How many more times...I'm not commenting on the light show, just the fact that you can't do a great deal with 4 x pars and a dotty effect.

You can do as much with the dips on the pars normally, hence my comment.

If you are using pars for a first dance, they'll be on static or on a slow fade, which you don't necessarily need a controller for.

& if you can't reach the dip switches when you want to go from slow fade to sound to light?
*Devil's Advocate Mode OFF*

Thanks Steve for articulating the point I was trying to make

I wasn't suggesting you weren't using enough lighting, I am saying that it's pointless using DMX with 4 pars and one other effect.

Sheesh, you asked a question and I answered it....

Apologies there, misinterpreted your post and your comments are very useful, much appreciated.

No problem and thanks for the PM.

What kind of pars do you have - let's see if we can get an easier workable solution for you.

In answer to the OP.................. for me its "to not DMX" only because I can`t do it

Well I did think that a four channel Thomann or Chauvet was about as cheap and simple as you can get. That's why I suggested it earlier. Don't the basic cans need something like this too function?
