  1. Hi everybody, I asked for this issue some years ago and now it´s time to ask again. The effect engine has a huge amount of predefined effects .. (thx for that) .. BUT .. if I want to run live shows I'm really limited in controlling parameters. A simple example ... A Pan/Tilt-circle is running and you want to control speed or/and size. To change size and speed at the same time, you can assign it to the fader. But there is no possibility to program the size- and speed-parameter on separate faders (or I don´t know how to). The only way to control speed individual is the chaser (tap), but that makes no sence for movements ... The second issue is the Offset in effects.... The Solution and FLX S supports no possibitity selecting and monitoring the offset in a detailed way. Programming with this feature feels always like try and error. Is it planned to improve the effect section in a way, that the parameter can be kept separate and the offset is more flexible and values are transparent? Am I the only operator to have this features on the wishlist for ZerOS? For our information: I´m running shows on an old Leap Frog 24 and FLX S desks... Best regards Stefan
  2. HI Edward, thank you for the quick reply. I did all necessary changes with the phantom software and built a recovery stick for the desk. I don´t need the beta at the moment. Best regards Stefan
  3. Hello, I had this weekend a complete desk crash during setting up a new location. Running version 7.10.2 on my Leap Frog 48 I tried to change some fixture profiles from custom (red) to comparing from the library. During this action the desk crash. .. Switch off ... Switch on ... saving the debug file ... the desk tried the restart and when loading the internal showfile .. again the crash. Unfortunatly I had no laptop so I couldn´t bring up the desk again. At home I did a recovery with Zeros 7.11 and had the same problems. Desk crashes, when changing fixture profiles .. The only difference was, that the desk restarted normal. Trying the phantom software version 7.11 everyting works fine. Is there a possibility to check the hardware (memory modules, etc) to be sure it´s no hardware problem? The show- and crashfile is attached Best regards Stefan debug_23-6-2022_15-19-02.zdb KH DIVA Witten.zos
  4. Hi Peter ... Thank you for the quick reply! 1, I´m looking forward to see my dimmer values again in the program window! 2, wrong RGB-values I downgraded my desk to version 6. The attached showfile is made with the offline software version 7 and shows the effect. sub1/8 is red, 1/9 is green, 1/10 is blue. when loading sub 1/8 red is displayed with value 100 in program window, but the output window shows value 0. Is the bug sitting in front of the desk? thank you stefan
  5. Hi everybody! 1, Software Version 7.0 I used standard RGB Dimmer fixtures and Litecraft LED RGB. In both cases the output of the RGB-values are display inverted in the output window. When switching to CMY Mode values are also displayed inverted. The "wheel"-LCDs display the right value! Program Window values are ok too! 2, I just ran a theater show without moving lights. The new program window (SW 7.0) is not useful in this case. As there are no more dimmer values displayed, it´s nearly impossible to edit memories and submasters fast. After downgrading the desk to Version 6 everything was fine. When editing in blind or loading memories you always have to check where the value comes from (Source button) before editing. When I load a submaster or memory I need the actual programmed values, and I don´t want to switch between 2 windows (output and memory) to check where the values come from (even if I use moving lights). Once again my request: Please give us the posibility back to display dimmer values in the program window (maybe as option).
  6. Hi Peter, thank you for the information. I think the old solution to see the dimmer values in the program window was the better one. If you modify seq/mem in blind mode you don´t have a quick overview what dimmer channels are programmed. The option to switch the dimmer channels in the program window on would be nice. :-) Stefan
  7. Hi! Before installing the release 7 to my desk I´m just testing with the offline software. 1, My program window shows no dimmer values. Is this just a bug in the offline software? 2, The SCREEN button is very useful. But I can´t get the group window to desktop 2 to 5. I think this doesn´t work because of the SHIFT+GROUP problem that you explained already in the forum. Is this right? :-) Stefan
  8. Hi Peter, thanks for the reply .. :-) Stefan
  9. Hello! A very special behaviour occured. I use some faders as "virtual submaster". DMX out on line 4, DMX in as submaster 11-21. If the trigger channel is programmed in the triggered submaster the submaster doesn´t release, even if RELEASE=YES is programmed. The submaster can be released manually [CLEAR]+[Virtualfaderbutton]. I know the programming makes no sense, but it took some time to find the strange behaviour. Or is the problem sitting in front of the desk ? I attached the showfile. Please move fader 48 and see whats happening with Sub 1/21. Maybe [CLEAR] first program window. Best regards Stefan DMX Feedback.isf
  10. Hello, I have 4 requests/bug reports: 1. I think this is a known problem. I copied a memory to a submaster. When overwriting the programmed submaster (copy of a memory) by a native submaster program, the desk crashes. The solution at the moment is to delete the submaster first. Then save the new "native" Submaster. The crash doesn´t appear, if another "memory copy" is stored to the submaster. 2. I had a programmed submaster 1 on Page 1 (default settings, release=Yes). On Page 2 I programmed a submaster 1 with release=no. Page 2 is completly released. When flashing the submaster 1 on page 1, the submaster 1 on page 2 becomes active and stays on (according to release=no). While flashing Page1 the dmx-values of page 2 are also active. I think this is a bug, not a feature. Isn´t it? 3. Editing chases takes a lot of time. load chase step, edit, update step, load new step.... I programmed houselights in every step of a 16 step chase. It would be nice to use the next/previous button in the program window also for the steps of a memory/submaster. At the moment the buttons disappear when updating the actual step. It would be useful to stay in "edit" mode until the chase ist stepped through. 4. When adding new fixtures or patching fixtures the universe is always set to Universe 1. It would be easier to keep the last used universe for new fixtures/new patch. thanks for you time ... and this wonderful desk :-) Stefan
  11. Hi everyone! As german user the external keyboard layout is different to the layout provided by the desk. In the forum I found the request LF-1955 to change this. Is this planned for an update? As I have to buy a new keyboard ... just to be sure ... the standard layout is a UK keyboard, right? :-) Stefan
  12. Hi Jon, thank you for you quick reply! I´m a bit in trouble with my new Internet Service Provider, so my answer took some days .. Here I am ... The only topic that is open was the comment field. I usualy name my memories how they look or what part in the song they stand for ... E.g. Strophe 106/119 or Refrain Green. Therefore 24 characters as in the name field are enough In the comment field is much more space for explanations, especially if working with text books So my memory red/blue can appear 3 times (as copy) in a show, but in different situations, with changing "CUE"-words or "CUE"-sentences". The answers to the other topics are quite clear ... Leap Frog is not a theatre console .. but it has FADERS!! Thank you for the possibility to get some training ... I´m looking forward to see you maybe in spring .. Stefan
  13. Hi, I bought a Leap Frog 48 at the end of the year and i´m very happy with it. I use it as touring desk for small music theatre productions. After first experiences and "home training" I have some feature requests: 1, It would be nice to add text comments in the memory list as keywords. 2, Is it possible to display the real memory time in the playback override field? Especially when the playback override fader is in use, it´s very hard to find the right timing, as there the time scale goes from 0 to infinite. 3, The time feature on special page 2 is a nice one to load palette settings. My problem was, that the access takes to long. I tried to program some macros to change the time, but the macros are to slow. Maybe it would be nice to change this time with a shortcut (e.g. "SHIFT+playback override fader) - actual time displayed on the screen. 4, When using intelligent lights (LED or Moving Lights) in live shows it would be helpful to program (named) cuelists on the playback fader. (same as on the big frog consoles). If this is depending on the hardware not possible it would help to get a "STEP" option on the playback flash button if there is a chaser programmed. The existing submaster step button affects all submasters chases. So it is not possible to forward only one programmed chaser. 5, Is it possible to get a button in the setup to be forced to name palettes, groups etc, when programmed? This helps to keep the desk in order. 6, Someone asked about the posibility to see DMX channels during patching. I agree to that, especially on tour if you search channels in a new location. 7, I tried to setup a 12 channel dimmer in the fixture editor. This is not possible, because only one brightness channel is allowed. In some theatres there are more then 200 channels generic dimmers to access. A simular problem exists with the new ROBE ROBIN LED Moving light. There are 3 zones on the fixture and each zone has its own RGB range. Multible RGB Parameters in one fixture are not possible, aren´t they? 8, Storing the views is on everybody´s wishlist 9, Is the desk training in Wales only for UK Customers? I´m thinking of some holidays in Wales this year. Is it possible to get a training as german foreigner? A lot of questions .. sorry about my english .. I left school some years ago .. I´m looking forward for the answers .. Stefan
