<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Greetings all... as I await a DMX/USB interface (intended for testing and troubleshooting, not for running shows), I'm thinking of integrating said device or two for educational purposes... mini-light labs and the like - again, not necessarily
for running shows (although I'm not ruling that out - let's see where this goes). Any recommendations for Mac-based software consoles that are easy to use?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">(Just want students to learn the basics, but in a uber-portable way.) And I say Mac-based, cuz that's what we happen to have lying around the theatres.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Free is great... low-price is good, too.... but simple/easy is important. The purpose of this is to teach/explore the basics of the lights, dimmers, DMX, etc, not days/weeks of learning the software.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>
