Angelos Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 I downloaded and installed Offline Editor. How do I use it ? [edit] Er, what I actually wanted to ask is if it is just a simulator or it can load and edit an actual show from a disk ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Giezen Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 No, it is not a simulator .... No, you can't edit shows with it .... Yes you can create your own fixture types, what means that you can assign the DMX-channels and functions for a fixture that is not already in the fixtures list :wink: Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkup_xp Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Jan, I think you may have misunderstood. Zero88 have JUST released an offline editor, which is an offline simulation of the Frog series desks. You can create shows, edit shows and perform all the functions as if you had a desk in front of you. You can download it from the download section of the zero88 site.

Jan Giezen Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 :oops: :oops: Sorry Angelos, I was too quick with an answer, but a simulation program is what some of us were waiting for but I did not know that it was released (was not posted on this board :?: ) I will also take a look at it and hope it's useful for a lot of us .... :wink: :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZ Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Hi We decided to get this out as quick as we could so the paper work is running a little late. :oops: That said it is simple to work. Select the desk, select run then open desk top and monitor. It can be used to read show disks, record disks or edit a show. Use your mouse to move wheels or sliders or click buttons. Right clicking a button will hold it down. So to get into super user mode right click the + and - keys then click on enter. Right click the + and - to unlock them. If you find bugs or want any more info please post here. Graham Quote Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkup_xp Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 It would be useful for the keyboard to replicate the arrow keys when in monitor view. Also, the desk defaults to having the Grand Master at 0% - its not unbearable, just annoying. Quote Peter Kirkup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tom Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Right, From what I gather I have downloaded the aforementioned offline editor but as yet, I haven't managed to start any typr of visual display, the lcd screen is blank and despite frantic clicking nothing comes up on the monitor view. Am I missing something, or just dense!? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkup_xp Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Try clicking "Run" in the startup window Quote Peter Kirkup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLX Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 Whats the story with the off line editor, dosent seem to do much apart from unpatchable faders going up & down :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Nine Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 When you have selected which frog series desk you want and displayed the front panel and monitor screens - you need to click on RUN in the Frog Offline window to start the desk software running in the simulator. You then use the mouse on the front panel to simulate what you would do on the real desk, eg move faders, press buttons etc. To get into Super User you need to Right click on the + and - keys so they both have a red dot in them; then click on the ENTER button. Right click on the + and - again to deselect them. You can then navigate through the Super User options in the same way as you would on the desk.

sjoram Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 I've got Phantom Frog and I understand about all the clicking Run etc ... but I dont see it saving the show to the floppy drive? should it do this when i click stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkup_xp Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 To save a show to the floppy drive: First, set the floppy drive as the "Floppy Path" in the Phantom Frog options window (the one that loads when you start the program). For most PCs, this will be A: Now, click Run and activate the front pannel and / or the monitor, as required. When you wish to save the show, enter Super User. To do this, right click on +, right click on - and Left click on Enter. Now release the + and - with furthur right clicks. Use the ^v arrows to select Floppy Disk, then press Enter Use the ^v arrows to select Save Show, the press Enter Select the show number Press Enter Use the ^v arrows to move to Exit, and press Enter, then exit super user in the same way. Your show file will now be on the floppy disk. Hope the above helps. Peter Quote Peter Kirkup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 just downloaded the phantom editor. Do you have to be on-line to use it? I can't seem to get anything to work. Even tried entering Super user mode to load a show off a disk. Am I missing something? :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam.henderson Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 When you open the phantom frog up you must press the RUN button, this is like 'turning it on so to speak!'. As for accessing Super User, right click the + button then right click the - button and then left click the enter button nd your in, use your cursor keys (as you would on the desk) to navigate. HTH Sam Edit- And to answer your other question No you don't need to be online!
