Total Show Control: Triggering Lights and Fog with Your Lyrics
· One min read
You're a show band. You have a light rig. But your lighting guy doesn't know the songs perfectly. You want a blackout exactly when the music stops, but he's always a second late. It ruins the dramatic effect.
The Old Way: Relying on "sound active" mode where the lights just flash randomly to the beat. It looks cheap.
The Bandfix Way: MIDI Control.
- Link Bandfix to your DMX lighting software (like ShowXpress or LightKey).
- Program a MIDI Note On command to trigger specific lighting scenes (e.g., "Red Wash", "Strobe", "Blackout").
- Trigger them directly from your lyrics page.
Pro Tip: Add a button to your screen that says "FOG" and link it to your fog machine for on-demand atmosphere.
