Hi
First post so apologies if it’s in the wrong place
im looking to create a theatre effect which will drop leaves (the tree kind) on demand
There are two main considerations
it needs to be as quiet as possible
ideally controlled via a lighting desk
my thoughts are
a box with 4 separated hinged compartments
4 electric magnets (could be push pull solenoids but they’re noisier)
a 4 channel Dmx controller https://amzn.eu/d/bMHu2ac
my lack of knowledge with the above is what to put in between the controller and magnet - I’m presuming I’m going to need to purchase 4 transformers - one for each magnet ?!? But not sure which
My other option is a decoder like this https://amzn.eu/d/4Olx986
But I’m not sure the magnets will work with it
kit I’m suggesting below for info

thanks in advance for any help
