+1 for the MIDI show control, on Cue stack, Ryan

Hello, On our current show we are running 4 moving lights off an ETC Express, but next year we are considering hiring more. In which case we are thinking of hiring a dedicated Moving light desk. But my question is, can the Jester ML accept MIDI Show control from the ETC Express to trigger cues on the cue stacks. Or any other alternative method of playback. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ryan

Hi Peter, Thanks for the advice. So, Step 1 : All fixtures @ 0 Intensity, Position : Figure of Eight Step 2 : Fixture 1 : Full Position : Figure Of Eight and so on. Am I right in thinking that if I set the Fixtures to carry out a Figure of Eight pattern, then it will retain this throughout the programming of the chase ? Thanks, Ryan

Hi All, Basically, I am in the process of planning possible chases for a band on the Fat Frog. So I have 4 minimacs, and the effect I want to create is as follows. I want to have a continuous chase i.e. an Ellipsis, for all the 4 minimacs. Then I want to flash one at a time, I have programmed many chases on the frog before but never thought of doing a chase like this. So just to recap, just one minimac flashes at a time then switches to another, so on. Has anybody achieved this/knows how to. Regards Ryan Dell

Ok, thanks very much for your help Peter Regards, Ryan

Hi Guys, Ok, I am trying to virtually programme the frog 2, this is on the offline editor. I am posting here because I think I will get a swifter response. So I am trying to virtually programme moving heads into my cue stack. They are patched correctly, I then select the fixture I want and change the pan and tilt, To try and prime the fixture, I am using the auto tag function, the programme window states that the moving heads are in position. So I programme this but when I go to review the scene it seems that the movement has not been programmed in. Any help on why this is occurring would be great. Thanks Ryan

Hi Guys, No need to worry I typed in R2/1 as was stated in the manual Silly me Cheers Ryan

Hello, Looking for some help, I have programmed a cue stack on the first stack and I have a chase on the second stack. I have entered a macro to trigger the chase on the next stack when I want it to, but the problem is stopping it, is there a way that I can insert a macro to stop the chase when there is a blackout, Cheers Ryan

Hi Guys, Just wondering if there is any way of getting hold of the betapack 1 fuse carriers Cheers Ryan

Hi, I downloaded the new version 1.36 that you have posted and it works brilliantly cheers ryan

Hi, I have installed the latest version of direct x, there is still no more displayed on the screen than there was before. I have read the other thread about the phantom version crashing and the screenshot of how the front panel looks is identical to mine, but when i start the prgramme up 5 seconds later a message from windows pops up and says that it needs to close becuase there is an error. I hope this expands on my point a bit more than "the screen goes weird" Thanks Ryan

Hi, This happens to me as well. I have succesfully installed it but when i run both the 48 and 96 channel version the screen goes weird and the only thing displayed on the front panel are the faders. cheers Ryan

Hi Brian I Might give that a go later on. Thanks Ryan

Hello, Our school are about to show Pirates of penzance and if anyone knows the story they will know that the first half starts very sunny and then in the interval there is a change to dull and dingy colours, I was wondering if there is a way of a progressive cue for instance the wash lights changing colour from the light to dark colours during the second half while there are other cues in between this period. Is it possible to have 2 cues running (1 colour changing and 1 stack that is general blackouts and changes.) Cheers Ryan Dell

Hi Peter, I'll give this a go thanks for the reply. Ryan

Hello, I was wondering if there was a way that i could program a chase where all of my lanterns light up in a ring so from the left of my rig to the right then light the bastage up in the same way, so they dont fade in they flash in and stay on, I have tried to do this with a chase and set all the times to the minimum but they are still lighting up individually slowly. Hope there is a way Thanks Ryan

Hi Paul, Yes it has been set as a dimmer channel thanks again Ryan

Hi, Thanks for the replies I will contact the nearest dealers cheers Ryan

Hi, Right Here is the file but before you use this understand the minimac profiles sometimes run on HTI lamps so really they are not meant to be dimmed . I'm gonna give it a go though here is the file Thanks Ryan

Hi, We have a sirius 24 board and some betapack's that we like to use for smaller concerts as we dont like using the fat frog because of messing up the Demux unit already installed with the fat frog. I am trying to look for the key (s) that changes the mode from run to programme as at the moment we have it on run mode and are not able to programme anything in to the memory so that we become even lazier are there still keys availible for purchase ?? thankyou Ryan

Hi, Brilliant, that was quicker than I expected. Ill try it out and if its any good ill post it on this forum if anyone wants it thanks for the help ryan

Hi, Brilliant i will give it a shot They will be so usefull with a fader thanks ryan

Hi, Im not talking rubbish either there was actually a dimmer modification on the profile minimac, could this of been on the zero88 website or just a random fixture file I found. Thanks Ryan

Hi, Well they loaded ok because i reloaded the files with a different floppy. And also I was browsing the internet for minimac files and found a minimac profile with a dimmer modification. I cant find it anywhere. Does anyone know where this file is. Thanks For the replies Ryan

Hi, I'm tryin to program a show off of the phantom version but the floppy im loading the fixtures off of has decided to not load. I desperately need these before 7.30 tomorrow mornin because i have an hour and a half to do EVERYTHING. The minimacs are profiles in mode 4 thanks ryan
