Kris choose the console for a number of reasons, one being its compact size, as they are flying to most venues. An essential feature was its powerful morphing and editing functions with different lighting equipment for each festival. This is thesecond time Kris has used a MagicQ Maxi Wing for Rodrigo y Gabriela, as he also used it on a short American tour. One of the functions that Kris is using the most is the built in pixel mapper which allows you to make visually stunning effects in seconds, says the company.

Mathew Killmurray is deputizing for Kris on some shows and as a new user of ChamSys was given full training at EQL Dublin. After the days training he felt very comfortable taking the desk out.
