Making the switch to Congo

Hi everyone-

 I'm a senior at the Hamilton High School Academy of Music in Los Angeles, CA.  The Colortran board in our 600 seat house died over the summer.  We've ordered a Congo Jr., which should be here in a couple months.  I first learned to program on ETC boards in the Express/Expression family and still do regularly.  How hard has it been for others of you to make the switch to the new platform?  Does it at all resemble the platform of any other major consoles out there today?  Any general tips for making the switch? 

  • Thanks to everyone who responded to my initial post.  At this point I am confident that the Congo Jr. will be the perfect console for our house once it arrives.  Based on the response to this forum, especially from educators, I have no concern about learning the new platform.  For now, us at Hamilton High are waiting for paperwork to pass through the school district so we can place the purchase order.  I can only hope it happens before I graduate and head off to a college with something less than a Congo Jr.  Even if they don't, any ETC board is fine by me.  Thank you to ETC for creating these forums, and good luck to all congo users out there. 

     May my next forum post be a question about operating the board.

     

  • Well, my school finally received the board.  Unfortunately, I'm now a college student working with obsession and hog II.  Maybe they'll let me come back and play some time.
