"Switching"

I have a show coming up and I'm using a Hog for the first time! My TD has been trying to get me to switch from GMA to Hog for a while and he has finally got me to try it out.

Anyways, one of my big questions is....

On the GMA there are executor buttons that I used for running effects (strobes, effects, intensity etc...) temporarily on the fly. Basically a Flash button. How would I go about doing that on the hog. (I'm using a Hog 3 and a wing)

    My personal setup that I used for years before getting an expansion wing was similar to yours. I had the console (10 faders), the wing (10 faders) and then using virtual lists like executors.

    Close all your windows on your screens. LIST OPEN (this will open the cuelist directory). Press the SPLIT button on the upper right screen. This splits it into 2 different windows. Move one window onto the left screen and one onto the right screen. Maximize both windows. Now, currently, they will both be showing the same set of lists. Scroll down on the right screen until the lists are separate from the left screen. Hold down RECORD and press a view button.

    You now have 144 executors (72 on each screen) if I did my math right. This allows you to build "executor" lists on these two screen.

    Like I mentioned before, I ran my console like this for years. In the upper left screen, I had colors (odd/even swaps, etc). In the lower left, I had beam buttons (gobos, iris, etc.). In the upper right, I had position changes. In the lower right, I had intensity effects.

    Hope that makes sense....
