NathanY Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hi there, I'm a new user to Zero 88 products just come from the world of Pulsar MasterPieces to a Leap Frog 48 Having used the desk for a couple of days would like to know how i can go about programing my own effects. Would like to write some for the colour wheel of some Absract VRX units. none of the inbuilt colour effects show as avaiable to them Thanks for your time Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkup_xp Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Hi Nathan This isn't possible on the Leap Frogs at the moment - you can, however, record your own chases, so it is possible to create your own effects that way. Hope this helps, Peter Quote Peter Kirkup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanY Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hi Peter That makes sense, I'll head down that route. Is this a function that could arrive in later version of the softwear? Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkup_xp Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hi Nathan We have discussed adding this feature to a future release of software, but at the moment I don't have a schedule for it. Quote Peter Kirkup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanY Posted August 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hi peter, Just thinking arround this would it be possible to create the effect on PhantomFrom in frog2 mode then import this back into the Leapfrog48? Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkup_xp Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hi Nathan Yes, that would theoretically be possible but bear in mind that when you import a show to the Frog 2 it loses the information about where your fixtures and dimmers are assigned to (preset faders or MFKs) as the Frog 2 doesn't have the concept of MFKs. Therefore you might have to play around with moving things back into place when you bring the show file back across to the Leap Frog. Also if you're using a Leap Frog 96, you'll lose submasters 11-30, and might also lose some of the more cue stack specific information on the Leap Frog (chases, 'next' memories, etc). If you made the effect before you'd programmed too much, it should be fine. Hope this helps, Quote Peter Kirkup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanY Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Tested the theory on the phatom taking from the Frog2 to to the leap48 all was successful, got the show file on my stick will try it in the physical desk later on Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudgeAmyHost Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 Did anything come of this? Our desk has basic effects like square and circle etc, but would be fun to be able to put things like can-can or whatever in with the effects panel rather than having to manually program chases for each section of lights. Is there a library online here or something where people can post effects they have made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkup_xp Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hi there, We have actually enabled the Effects Window now for the Leap Frog 48 & 96 consoles - hold down SHIFT and push EFFECTS to open the Effects Palette window, then push the 'Effects Window' button in the top left, or use the 'Other Windows' dropdown in the Output Window to open it. Hope this helps, Peter Quote Peter Kirkup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
