About Electronic Theatre Controls ColorSource 40

With ColorSource consoles, setup and programming is a breeze! From patching to performance, ColorSource consoles enable you to navigate and program quickly. The multi-function onboard touchscreen provides not only a customizable stage map but also color and parameter controls, a full palette system, effects manipulation, and the Playback Toy live busking controls.

The onboard faders can be used as direct channel controls or as playback faders. For preprogrammed shows, ColorSource consoles include comprehensive cue stack functionality. Assign additional faders as submasters, group masters, or a grandmaster.
