Wolfmix W1 5-stars Reviews

Light weight well built Wolfmix

It took me a while to understand its workflow From a couple of groups on Facebook it was so simple and with Live edit you can get your lights moving and dancing to your tunes. Ableton link from your DJ controller simply triggers the music and light

Love it!

It was a little tricky to get used to at first, but once I got the hang of this, it's very easy to control and make some seriously wild lighting shows. I'm an amateur still so I never got to use more than one universe at a time, and never tried the super high end consoles, but this is a definite step up from using the simpler fader based dmx controllers.

It's marketed for DJs mostly, but I don't see why you cant use it as a primary controller for any type of show. I only wish there was a way to control it remotely via ipad/laptop.

Quite useful little gaget.

I use it at a venue, where we have permanently installed fixtures and it really does its job well. Super easy to use and almost anyone can set up lights for their event with this controller. It has also saved a couple of shows where the ''real'' lighting desk crashed so the light engineer did a whole concert with this real fella and it looked amazing.

I have 2 small issues with it as well.

1. If you're using a hazer and some fog or CO2 jets, then you don't have dedicated controls for the hazer. Only option is the smoke button which is primarily used for short bursts. I've tried to work around it and save a ''live edit'' button with different intensity of haze but it doesn't work very consistently.

2. If you have more then 8 types of different fixtures ( or you've placed your same type of fixtures to 2 different places i.e same moving head on the stage and up hanging from the truss. then your options will be quite limited, since the controller only has 8 groups that you can assign fx to.

You can always create some static ''live edit'' buttons for any extra fixture groups as well but it's kind of annoying.

Great controller

Very happy with controller, ideal choice for band or mobile djs,one of the simplest controllers to program and perfect for Rental

Just in time a simple and good controller

Ok, i gotta say i'm impressed.

First of all, it arrived a few days before a party i had to do lightings on. Pretty simple setup 4 beams, 2 wash, and around 12 par rgbw.

Well here my toughts:

1. Simple create a new devices

2. Easy effects for beam, moves, colors

3. Easy to create presets and live edits.

4. Ready buttons like strobe, blackout and speed makes all simple.

5. Boot speed is 2 sec.

Cons:

1. Only 10 gobos, colors, positions can be solved by live editings

2. Only 8 groups in total can be assigned

3. Focus on some devices works poorly

4. Lack of "clear" button that sends all to init.

Overall, awesome device. For small gigs, parties it does the job even quicker than ma2.

Very much impressed

I am used to traditional lighting consoles so the wolfmix was a big change for me. But overall it turned out very user friendly (also thanks to the youtube tutorial videos). I programmed in some presets and for DJ sets this works fine. For live performances I have now purchased a separate controller with faders to link with the Wolfmix.
