There were a few solo and duo acts around here that used midi backing,
which makes it really easy to operate midi controlled lighting, the
lighting control for each song was incorporated into the midi backing
track and was sent through a separate midi port to the light controller.
That allowed them to program very complex and dynamic lighting changes
into each song, if they so desired. Good lighting and good midi backing
tracks can make even one or two people into a very impressive act. The
lights don't have to be all that elaborate, a color-changing spot or two
on each performer, some side fill floods mounted on collapsible stands
and maybe a strobe or two can be very impressive when properly
programmed. A setup like that takes 30 minutes or less to setup, btw.

I didn't ask you, and you didn't answer the question anyway. Did I
accidentally use "how" instead of "why" again?


I wasn't trying to answer your question, you were asking ptooner, not me. I
just made the observation there were solo and duo acts around her that used
midi and scenes and such. My comment was aimed at all those who might be
following this discussion and not particularly at you.
