[QUOTE="Kevin Maxwell, post: 5478, member: 321"] X32 for theatrical work. I thought I would start a new thread where anyone who is interested in using an X32 for theatrical shows could comment about the console. I got the chance to be shown the console by John DINICOLA a Music Group Product Support specialist. I want to thank John for the walk thru and answering all of my never ending questions. I would also like to thank Joe Sanborn from the Music Group for helping to arrange my time with John. I think the X32 looks like it could be very usable for the kind of musical theater show that I do. There are just a few things that I think are needed to make it really work smoother for me. The Go button isn’t in a bad place but it would be better if I could use the user definable buttons. And I would like to have a back button. So if I can assign a button to be “recall next scene” (GO) and assign one of the buttons to be a “recall previous scene” (BACK) that would really help. I also would like to be able to make one of the buttons work as a “save (overwrite) the present scene” with any changes I have made on the console. I need to make very frequent changes as we are running limited rehearsals and I don’t have the time to call up the scene page and hit the save button. I usually use over 100 scenes for a musical. The limit of 100 scenes is something I would like to not have to figure out a way to have to live with. It is nice that the scenes can be flagged to be skipped. But there doesn’t seem to be a way to insert a scene. I would love to see the capabilities of using decimal point scenes. Lighting consoles have had that capability for a long time. But I don’t know if they would ever even consider it for the X32. Lets say that they were to increase the number of scenes to how about 300, I think it would be helpful if the scene limit wasn’t that you could only write into scenes 1-300. But that you could number them with spaces left between used scenes and go up to a much higher number (if they don’t do decimal point scenes) but they can still make it have a 300 written scene limit. Just not hard and fast numbered slots for the scenes. Does this make sense? The other little feature that would be nice for me is if I could assign a user key to be “set the selected channel to nominal” like I can do on many other consoles. I use this feature to quickly write the scenes into the console from a cue spreadsheet before we start the rehearsals. It gives me a great starting point. To make this work I have the trims safed so I set them at a sound check. This is all I can think of for now and it is already probably too long for most people to read. [/QUOTE]
