I have an opportunity to programm a festival coming up and I have a good base knowledge of the hog 3. I recently have been introduced to the concept of busking and creating playbacks for different parameters and being able to play them back at any time rather than trying to think through every cue. My problem is trying to implement this with the hog. Given I will have only 9 or 10 playback faders how do I get all the different parameters that I would like to access on one playback bus. I've seen talk about about virtual playbacks of the forum but what is a virtual play back on the hog where do you access that. For busking certain parameters I thought I heard pallets were a good way to do this or is that not ok. Also is it possible to use play back faders as effect rate modifiers? The festival isn't very complicated about 60 par cans on a down stage truss and 1K2 movers on an upstage. I'm assuming there needs to be different looks for color washes and chase patterns for the par cans but I would like to do some interesting stuff with the movers. Any tips any one has would be helpful I'm new to this forum. I would really like to learn an efficient way to program a busking type of show.
whoops thats a typo its 12 movers 6 washes and 6 profiles. They are all Varilite but Im not sure of the model Numbers. Ill be using the Full Boar console I believe. All my experience I have with the hog is the hog PC setup with a program and playback wing. It seems the user interface for all the consoles are the same. Ive used the Hog 3 console before as well , that was out the the Main office of the Rental and Staging company I work for. Im used to doing only simple corporate gigs that don't require a lot of programming. Ive basically taught myself how to use the console from reading and experience. I think busking this show will be the best its just I don't know how to fit it all on 10 faders. Im assuming I will need to record various position with the movers then on another fader add some movement then another chase patterns or strobes. I have to however create different color looks with the static par cans and those will have to be split up over certain faders so I feel Im just gonna run out of space. The festival is 13 national rock acts split over 2 stages. Im gonna be running one of the stages. I really wanna do this show but I feel I don't know enough to be able to do things on the fly. My buddy keeps telling me its a lot simpler than it sounds but I just wanna have loads of Ideas.
