  1. Hello, last weekend i had a show with the LeapFrog 48 running the latest firmware. I patched the faders 25 - 45 as generic dimmers on universe 2 and connected the universe 2 to the dmx input on the frog to use the faders as submaster "extension". That works great, but after programming the show (several cues and chases on the submasters) and playing back the show some strange problems came up. First i cleared everthing and raised a submaster (e.g. fader 28) to play back a chase. Then i selected my fixtures and pointed them with the help of the position palette to a before recorded postition. I raised another submaster wich holds an effect for the fixtures. Everthing works great. Then i selected some other effects and chases with the submasters. I used the palette to change color, beamshape and postion. And now after playing back for about 15 minutes i want to change a dimmer chase on a submaster. And now the strange things happens. The chase is played back but not every programmed step is played back. Some dimmer channels were just skiped. I programmed the chases using Shift + Record, so that tracking shoulndt be the issue. This becomes even worse when i trie to use another chase. So after 25 Minutes only one dimmer channel was up. I pressd Clear once and had another strange behaviour. Pressing Clear once cleared the hole stage! That was very annoying. I thought that pressing once the Clear button only clears the Programmer and the selection of fixtures and not the whole output of the desk. Yes i know that the faders used as submaster extension are cleared when i press Clear two times, so i planed the show to have the main channels on the real submasters. Can you please try to test this. Regard Torsten
  2. Hi, is it possible to create an effect that i can record to a submaster which then controlls the size of the effect? For example: Sine on Tilt with no speed and no size asigned recorded to submaster 1.1 So the position of the submasterfader controlls the size and a second submaster should controll the speed. When i record an effect with sine on tilt, speed set to 20 and size to 20 then record it to a submaster and tell the submaster to controll effects then i can only controll the speed with the position of the submaster. Is this kind of programming possible? Regards Torsten
  3. Hello, i´ve noticed that in Version 5.4.0 on Leap Frog 48 is a little bug. When you have selected several fixtures and open the the Effects Window to create a custom effect the descriptional text in the wheel LCD disappears (Size, Speed, Offset). No heavy bug but strange that this works fine on the Phantom. Then i have found a new "window". When you hold SHIFT and press a SUBMASTER FLASH Button then a window called "User definable Faders" and "User definable Keys" comes up. The User definable Faders seems to be the Submasters but the Keys are not useable. I think this feature is for the Frog 2 and Orb because i can not find any hints for this in the manual or release notes. Regards Bilderbuch
  4. Hello Peter, thank you for the detailed reply. I really appreciate that. And i´m not so sad as it souns on my post above. You Guys have allways corrected every error i found. You do a great Job. I´m very interesstet in what is comming soon Thanks Bilderbuch
  5. Hello Carl, sorry for my late reply. I do now understand what you mean. I´ve been working with a GrandMA the last times and really like the "all in one" palette there. But for smaller shows i do allways prefer the LeapFrog48. Unfortunately i´ve got a litte bit the feeling that Zero88 is more focusing on the ORB than the longer existing LeapFrogs. There are some usefull user feature requests which are somehow ignored. That´s a little bit sad i think. Bilderbuch
  6. Hello Carl, i don´t really understand what you mean. As is unterstand you right, you can use the submasters or memories as ALL-IN-ONE "palette". You can store everthing you want on the submasters and when you need it just load it or play it back. So maybe i didn´t understand you?
  7. Hello, my Leap Frog 48 freezes when i try to delete a position palette. The Leap Frog runs the new 5.2.2 version. I have to switch off the desk and restart to continue. Updating or overwriting works fine. By the way are there some news about the iphone remote? Regards Bilderbuch
  8. Hello, are there some news about the iPhone Remote? I´m also very interested in such a software. Regards Bilderbuch
  9. Hello, i had the same problems this weekend. With 5.0 and 5.1 the macros (user defined) und groups doesn´t work. Is it possible to switch back to 4.4.4 just as long as you will fix it? Regards Bilderbuch
  10. Hello Peter, i know the Highlight function. So i think a combination could be usefull. Regrads Bilderbuch
  11. Hello Peter, it also think it would be practical to use the arrow keys to "highlight and step" throug the selected fixtures (either selected by groups or selected with the MFK´s). It would be great that when you´ve selected some fixtures then with a key kombination (like pressing left and right key together) a popup window in the external screen apears where a list of selected fixtures is shown und you could step throug them with the arrow keys or the touchscreen. If you could combine this feature with a "highlight" of the selected fixture then it would be very easy to position the fixture set the colors an so on. Regards Bilderbuch
  12. Hello Stephen, do you run Windows Vista on your two pc´s? I´ve encountered that the installer just finds an usb drive under Windows XP. I also tried it under Vista (SP1) several times but didn´t get it working. On a XP machine erverthing worked fine. Maybe this is a littel bug. Regards Bilderbuch
  13. Hello Peter, thank you i thought as much. So i will purchase a Lightconverse licence. Bilderbuch
  14. Hello, i know that i can visualise over ethernet everthing from my Leap Frog with Capture Polar like it is mentioned in the manual. But is also possible like with Lightconverse to have bidirectional connection so that i can for example position my movings in Capture an the console takes that values? And so is it also possible that the frog takes the patch from Capture? Regards Bilderbuch
  15. Hi, maybe it would be possible to add a shortcut or kind of key combination for a "Palette View". That means all Palettes on the Screen with a simple shortcut. May be Color Palette top right, Beamshape top left, Position bottom right and group bottom left. I know that i can do it with the size function on the special page 1. But i know from chamsys to you press ctrl and a button so the above mentioned windows are well arranged for a quick access no matter what size they had before. Regards Bilderbuch
  16. Hi, thats very easy to turn the Lamps off. User Manual of the Robe Spot Page 13. Just set on the "Lamp on/off,reset,fans speed control channel" (channel 6) a value between 230-239 for more than 3 seconds an the lamps get off! Hope that helps!
  17. Thanks, that helped a bit. But why is it not possible to use the Gobo Channel as Virtual Brightness Channel. That would be great because then i just have to keep attention that i dont rise the Brightness Level over 27 %. I tried this but the Frog doesn´t see the Brightness Channel?
  18. Hello, i´ve got some Clay Paky Mini Scan. They have the Dimmer ( no real Brightness Channel) on the Gobo Channel with the Levels from 0 to 69. The Problem is that i want to make a Memory or Submaster on which I could Fade the Dimmer (Brightness). The Conxole ist in Partial Mode. So i tried to make a memory with Gobo Level 69 (which is Full Brightness) and untagged everything else. Copied this one to a Submaster and expected that i can Fade the Brightness. But that didn´t work. I set up the Submaster to fade the Beamshape. But everytime I rise the Fader the values snaps to 69. And the bigger Problem is that the value doesn´t lower when i fade down the Submaster Fader. Is there a posibillity to solve the Problem? Greets
  19. Yes i know. So in 10.4 it works but unfortunately not in 10.8. It doesn´t matter any more. Thanks.
  20. It´s me again. I downgraded to 10.4 and there the F3 Button works fine...
  21. Ok seems that i didn´t raise the playback x fader. But the F3 Button won´t work. The LED in the F3 Button lits but wen i press a Submaster flash Button the LED does not start flshing. So i´m not able to adjust some modifiers.
  22. Hi there, soon i´ll have a bigger show with my Fat Frog (10.8). So i decided to preprogamm the show with the help of a visualisier. So everthing worked fine until i tried to programm some chases. I programmed several Steps (using the Preset Master to Tag all Generic Channels because of tracking). So in 10.4 Software it was possible to move down to Set Modifiers and the Desk started to count up the Step numbers depending on the Speed, Attack and so on. On 10.8 this doesn´t work. So i dont really know if the speed is the right one. Also the Steps are not on the DMX Output. That has all worked fine with 10.4. Another Bug(?) is, that when i press the F3 button and hold a Flash Button of a Submaster to modify the Speed of the Chase on that Submaster nothing happens. It seems that the F3 Button generaly doesn´t work except of the LED... Sometime when pushed the F3 Button and a Submaster flashbutton the Chase on it stopped and there was no way to keep it goining on again. I hope you can help me. I don´t want to go back to 10.4 because i need the 48 Palletes and don´t want to prgramm them again when i downgrade. I hope there will be another Software Release soon, otherwise I´m thinking of selling my 2 Desks...
