I'd offer my vote for an Off Line Editor as well. I have in the past been saved by the OLE for the 520i. I would, however, like to see a very different route to Strand’s effort. One, it does not work in any modern version of windows (NT, 2K, or XP), and two, it uses a huge number of key shortcuts, very difficult. Instead of mimicking the desk exactly, an application that is suited to the windows UI would be preferable. Just my opinion though. Overall having used the Fat Frog for the fist time in anger last weekend my congratulations to Zero88, it’s a fine piece of kit. We have it driving a couple of old Permus racks via a Compulite DMX -> D54 Converter, which works perfectly. I just wish I could have more chances to stretch the frog’s legs more often. From now until next year’s Warwick Folk Festival it will probably be just endless concert washes……

I have just used a Fat Frog for the first time in anger, in a venue that it will see very little use but is a step up from the truly terrible Strand Action 48. I was going to ask exactly the same question! At least I now know how to achieve this, all be it via an indirect route. I was convinced there should be a way as there is a column for this in the subs screen. It would be a very useful feature for the types of show I do.
