As a quick workaround if you are just looking for fixture profiles to demonstrate (as I was) there is a very small fixture table included in the zip of the Frog series software release that you can still download if you are lucky enough that one of your fixtures is covered.

Apologies for my rather short reply earlier as I was at work and in disbelief that a fixture library supplied for a desk series that only has floppy disk doesn't fit on a floppy disk. Really it would be user friendly if this could fit on without needing the fixture table editing by end users. Hard to tell which fixtures could be removed so maybe could you just host a permanent copy of the last stripped library that did fit on disk as an alternate download as that would at least be a 'get out of jail free' card for most uses.

Hi We run Macs at work so we cannot use the fixture tools library to slim down to the fixtures we need. Could you either remove some fixtures so it fits on a floppy disk or could you provide a permanent link to the last fixture library that fitted on floppy disk. This is a pretty fundamental error considering it's even recommended for disk use. Thanks, Tom

A-ha! I thought they would be, but I didn't want to open the desk up just to check, in case it wasn't the case. Thanks, Tom

Hi Our Bullfrog has a strange habit - for the first two parameters of a page of a fixture, the controls are swapped over, so the control under the LCD does not adjust the corresponding value - rather the right wheel adjusts the centre value, and the left vertical wheel adjusts the right hand value. The thumbwheel adjusts the far left value as normal. Are these connected by jumper cables to the main board? If so, I could see how this error would have occured - probably by someone mistakenly replacing them after servicing. (Or in the build, even, as I'm not certain if our desk has ever been opened.) If they are not connected by jumpers, but are on the board itself, then this would complicate the issue - could anyone shed light on this? Thanks, Tom

Thanks Peter - is this limitation described in the manual? I read the manual before buying the desk (to aid my decision) and I don't recall it being described there.

Thanks Does this work for memories, could I take a program a memory from the incoming DMX from the Frog and have it fade across all channels as it would on the Frog, or does the limitation apply there as well?

Hi I was playing with a new Jester (12/24) today and I noticed some odd behaviour - I had plugged a Bullfrog into the DMX in, and was trying to capture data from the DMX In onto the Submasters on the Jester. If I set a scene on the Bullfrog, and program it onto a Submaster on the Jester, when I bring the submaster up there is no fade - the lights only snap up, and when I take the submaster down again they remain latched, until I bring another programmed submaster up in its place, upon which they snap out. Is this normal behaviour? I was hoping that the Jester would prove a useful way to busk shows without using the Bullfrog, if I programmed scenes wider than the 24 channels of the Jester into the submasters - but this unusual 'snap & latching' action has thrown a bit of a spanner into the works. Thanks, Tom
