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.
Pure Busking (Meaning you have never heard the music before) is truly an artform...
One Hog Desk with 10 faders is cool and you can use the Scene, List and macro directories to supplement the lack of faders, but it will never replace Actual faders and toggle/flash buttons so you can "Play" the desk like a keyboard and have manual fade control of parameters.
If you can, the addition of an H4 Fader wing, Master Wing and the old school H3 mini playback wing can be added and scaled to your busking needs...
One of the coolest FOH setups I have seen is three mini playback wings attached to a custom wing holder so all the wings sit left of the desk and in three vertical layers... The LD didn't have to reach that far to get his left hand on any of the three fader wings...
