Hello one and all.
I've just spent a few days putting "The Blue Room" into the Theatre Royal,
Haymarket here in London, and I had a look at the sound gear today. All the music and
sound effects are played back from a sampler using MIDI triggers, and as far
as I could see, the sound desk is automated too.
The system is run on an A1200 running Stage Manager 3000 by Richmond Sound
Design through a Pro-MIDI interface from Hisoft.
Apparently they're quite common "because the OS is stable and easy to use, and
the software is reliable"
Miss Saigon at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane used custom software and hardware to run a couple of lighting changes
because the main desk couldn't output smooth enough movement data.
A1200 vs £14000 lighting desk. For that task A1200 won hands down.
Hurrah!
A1200 1D4, Power Tower, Blizzard040-603e, BVision, 96Mb FastRAM
OS3.5, WarpOS4, IDE Zip100, 8xCD ROM, LCD display, LED bargraph displays.
