[LCtalk] Submaster Faders?

[damian narbrough]

Hi there,

Does anyone know of a way to create a form of 'submaster' fader for the 
Lanbox, in software (LCedit+ or Max MSP)  or via a midi contoller ?

From my experience of using conventional (not to mention ludicrously 
expensive!) control desks I have become accustomed to operating shows 
through submaster faders.  Though I love being able to operate my LCM 
through my computer's keyboard I'd love to be able to control generic 
lighting in this way.

I once experimented with using the Peavey PC1600 X for control, sending 
program change commands but I found it a bit limiting for live event 
lighting because of the limited number of buttons. I never worked out a 
way of using the faders  successfully at the same time.  Any ideas 
anyone??

At the moment I'm operating a regular live music night using the lanbox 
for moving lights, with a conventional desk for lighting the performers' 
faces.  I don't have a master blackout this way though...

I think if submasters were a feature of the control interface, this 
product would really make the console manufacturers start to worry! The 
Lanbox's performance is really astounding for the price as it is!
