Some (big) ideas

Hi there!

I am a huge fan of the GrandMa desks, so my ideas to the Hog3 are kind of a copy of what the GrandMa already does. One thing that would be great are of you could have more options for the masters. Like being able to tap the rate of a chase. Or setting the rate and/or size of an effect running on the master. Also, it would be great to be able to have have more than one master per list, and use these for different parameters of the list. (Like executor size in GrandMa. As i said, very inspired)

I would also be able to put fixtures on the masters, for controling the intensity of these fixtures (instead of selecting and using encoders to program). I want to select a fixture, and then store it under a master, and then that master becomes a fader for that fixture (or group if so programmed). So this is similiar to a feature in GrandMa where the channels (not fixtures) is put on the faders, but with the difference that i my self can select which fixtures or groups to put on which faders, in which page. Would be absolutely great when programming ie theatre with a lot of dimmers.

I want a manual timing feature (to put on one of the masters). Also like the manual feature in GrandMa, but with the ability to pause everything before it's executed (so i click pause for the timing fader, do the changes in the programmer, select the fade time on the fader clicks "play", and then the thing in the programmer executes in the selected time).

And of coarse, all this in combination with a new playback wing with motorised faders, and quick buttons to access the different pages. That would make especially busking a lot better on the Hog3. (As for now i would never choose the Hog3 for busking, GrandMa is my no1 choice there)

Of coarse i don't want the Hog to become a GrandMa-desk, but these features would make this disk so much better.

  • Are you saying that it's difficult to get the exact offset values that you want when you're trying to evenly spread something like an intensity effect across a group of fixtures?

    You can type in individual offsets for each fixture, but that's time consuming.

    You can use the fan key and an encoder wheel, but getting the end-points exactly where you want them can be difficult (hence the "restart" problem you mentioned).

    Try using command line fanning, it lets you be much more precise. Say you're doing a ramp effect across a bank of 20 PAR cans. Select the 20 fixtures. Select "ramp" for the table, then press "set" and type in "0 [thru] 360" in the "offset" field. This lets you select the exact end-poings that you want for the fanning, and evenly spaces the values between them.

    Most fields let you use command line fanning. It's very powerful. You can even give multiple ranges like "0 [thru] 240 [thru] 0".
