Eurolite DMX Move Bigfoot 192 light controller
I bought this for simpler band shows when computer control (DMXIS) of my lights would be over the top.
The unit's pretty good. Built like a tank and will handle up to 12 fixtures of 16 channels each. Sound activation and tap tempo too, plus the option to fire smoke machines or blinders via the music button (using the latest firmware).
You can map each fixture's channels to 16 control knobs (red, green etc), which greatly simplifies scene design. Patching fixtures is fiddly though and I can't work out how to delete, which seems to mess up repatching anything Tech support slow getting back. Support and manual not great in general.
The disappointing things are: you seem stuck with automated chases. It would be way better if you could step through scenes manually. That would give you 15 banks of scenes. Ample for most shows.
Additionally, there's no fade function between chases. Only within them. That's an oversight, but there's the capacity to update firmware, so maybe they'll address these things.
Despite these issues, it's good for the price and what I need, but if you want more control of dmx lights on a similar budget, consider Entecc DMXIS on a laptop.
