Zach Scott chooses ChamSys for Chicago Music Cruise

The 20th annual Chicago Music Cruise - a weeklong Caribbean excursion on Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of The Seas, organized by rock group 7th Heaven - featured a group of leading Chicagoland bands and radio personalities. For the on-board-theatre’s live shows Zach Scott designed a lightshow that was run with a ChamSys Maxi Wing and ChamSys Extra Wing Compact.

“Given that space is always an issue in a cruise ship environment, I wanted something with a small travel footprint that would still give me enough power to run a 22-universe show,” says Scott. “I’ve been running shows with the MagicQ MQ 500 Stadium, but size was an issue here. It was also very important that whatever I used had the ability to be up and running quickly from show to show.”

In addition to his Maxi Wing and Extra Wing, Scott’s system included a MacBook Pro and Elo Touch Screen. “The MacBook Pro running the MagicQ on PC was the core of the operation,” he says. “I received plots a couple of months prior to the cruise, which gave me ample time to build the rig and preprogram the show. The Maxi Wing lets me do my programming and playback through real faders, buttons and encoder wheels.”

Scott ran three different shows, two 60-minute versions and one 90-minute variety, during the cruise. He controlled each show live through the playback faders and cue stack buttons on his Maxi Wing and Extra Wing Compact.
