SPOKANE, WA — LD Seth Jackson recently used 14 of Robe’s CycFX 8 fixtures on the upstage truss for Alice Cooper’s Raise The Dead ’tour, which also included a number of dates as special guests on Mötley Crüe’s All Bad Things Must Come To An End farewell tour. The CycFX 8 units traveled in Tyler Truss sections and were used for scenarios where space was too tight onstage for any ground-rows to up-light the backdrop … as well as to provide a unique reveal ensuring Cooper’s show had its own distinctive look and feel. The CycFX 8s were supplied by Bandit Lites.
More details from Robe (www.robe.cz):
Alice Cooper – known for his bloodthirsty rock shows and elaborate make up … is highly theatrical as well as a diehard rocker!
Seth had always liked DHA’s original ‘digital light curtain’, so when Robe launched the Cyc FX – one of a raft of Robe innovations to hit the market in 2013 – he was “thrilled” to find a modern digital version of that classic effect … that was also robust and built to tour!
“In addition to that,” he states, “It’s a terrific wash fixture that lights a drop really evenly, and the color-system is excellent, with a broad range of pastels right through to deep saturates”.
This unique product offers an array of individually controllable 15W RGBW LED modules equally spaced along a batten with a fully adjustable 8 – 67 degree zoom. The batten has a very fast 270 degree tilt movement which can be precision indexed or programmed to produce rapid sweeping movements. Pre-set color macros and individual pixel control aid quick and easy programing, and effects like tungsten lamp emulation and fade in/out at 2700K and 3200K are also included.
