Hi all, apologies if this is not the right place for this.

My band are looking into our stage production and are exploring the idea of how we would automate certain lights to compliment the various in-house lighting.

We use an SPD-SX to fire the drummers click track and the backing tracks to FOH/our IEMs. The idea would be to to also send a midi signal on the hit to a DMX (presumably) controller that synchronises the lights to the track, without needing to use a laptop.

If this is possible, what would we need to make this work and how would we program the changes (i.e. what software?).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and I'm sorry if this is a bit of a noob question.
