Guest Don Gillespie Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Just a thought lets just say for instance that LOR has encountered a problem and the controllers would not be available this year, what elements would you have to remove from your show, I would lose 48 channels, my show would go on but not with the some key elements.any one else???
trankin79 Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 The show must go on! As long as I get my hands on S3, I'll be happy :cool: Display is pretty much set and spare controllers are idle until next year
shfr26 Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Did not get any in the secret sale, was hoping for 2 controllers, one spare, one for a mega tree. If I can't get one, no mega tree. And I already bought the CB tower. Oh well.
Greg Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 my show would be the same as last year, I sequenced for new items without stealing any hardware from other display items. Just won't have the hardware to run the new portions of the show. On the bright side I would have a jump on 2012!
David Rise Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 I have 32 channels. I planned for 64. If I don't get 2 more controllers, I only use 2 colors instead of 4.No biggie.Isn't the world supposed to end December 12, or something like that anyhow?So none of us will have a display....LOL
Paul Roberson Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 If products were not available my show would be the same as last year with a few programming changes (enhancements?).My show equipment is planned to change quit a bit, but the viewers will not miss something they don't know about.However due to crapy pre-buy lights (all LEDs) / crapy replacement lights (blue LEDs) / and yet another crapy pre-buy (green LEDs). I still have elements of my display that have to have their lights replaced again for the 3rd year in a row. So was hoping to replace these with LORs CCBs. So if that don't happen might have to pull some ol faithful incans. out of the box.

David Rise Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 NEXT YEAR? Are you sure?I was kidding when I said I was all set. I haven't planned a thing, or even started sequencing. I was betting on the world ending......LOL

It said I was going to die on Dec 28 2025. I told my wife. "Sweet in 2025 I will get to put up the display and enjoy it, but I won't have to take it down." LOL She did not think it was funny. :?BTW. I am still holding out hope that the CCBs will go on sale SOON and get to my house SOON.
Robsaus Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 I was given about 15K stuff from a guy that did a big display. I have 80 regulare channels and 30 DC channels and was going to get 3 more controllers for the added elements. Hopfully I can get the new controllers or Im not going to be able to use the new stuff.
jimswinder Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 The only thing I am counting on are the CCB's (and S3 software)...but without them I am pretty much screwed as I have built my whole display this year around them and they would free up 314 channels...and I have already allocated those channels elsewhere and have been sequencing as if I will have the CCB's...Big gamble on my part...but I think Dan and Company will come thru...

Besides, his wife tell him what time it is, and when to do stuff, and he listens.
jeffl Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Switch to Lynx Express controllers and purchase an iDMX. But then if there are no other dimming enhancements worthwhile over the current controllers I will anyway.But look on the bright side. The 2012 sale will probably be way early.
JBullard Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 Like some others have posted, I bought the additional controllers I need for my 2011 display back in 2010.What I buy this year, will be for the 2012 display. Same with lights, always buy a year ahead, 2012's display is already planned and 2013 is being sketched out. So when the presales start in Jan 2012, I'll be ordering lights for 2013.

Dan Ancona Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 I've also planned ahead and have everything needed. Last year was a different story and would have liked to have one or two more controllers - didn't come to be. I adjusted accordingly. No big.
hyperdriver3307 Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 I wont have an LOR show....I'll just have to re-use the gemmy for another year....
