Submaster Changes

 

The number of submaster pages has been increased to 20.

 

The Fade Up, Fade Down and LTP fade times, and the LTP actions can now be edited directly on submasters programmed with channel data or containing transferred memories.

 

The submaster name is displayed on the Submasters screen on the main LCD.

 

For submasters with transferred chase memories, the number of shots is also editable independently on the submaster screen.

 

The way that chases start, run and stop on submasters has also been modified as follows:

 

  • When a chase memory is transferred onto a submaster, it does not run immediately. It is effectively ‘parked’ on step 1 of the chase.

 

When the submaster fader is raised above the LTP trigger level, the chase will start running.

 

When the submaster fader is brought down to zero, the chase will stop running (unless it has already stopped having run n times).

 

This method ensures that chases will always start on step 1 when triggered.

With movement programmed to a sub the head still moves after the sub reached zero. Is this to be sorted, can live with it either way.

 

We have made chases stop when the submaster fader reaches zero, but movement effects (and the FROG function) are processed differently :?

 

Frog Reference No 5422 - Movement Effects and FROG outputs should stop when the submaster fader is brought down to zero - to be reviewed.

how are the 20 pages shown in the page number display field, when there is only one place for a number?

it's just for 0-9 but from 10 it starts to be problematic...

 

The display are two elements of 7 segment displays so it´s not a problem to show a number up to nine ... at least on our Leapfrog console.

As far as I am aware all the Frog series of desks are fitted with two seven segment displays for indicating the submaster page number - it's only in the latest software where the number of submaster pages has been increased to 20 that the left display is used in operation :D

Thank god I´m right I´ve never seen a FatFrog but I didn´t believe that they are much different in basic construction this is a matter of production process. And this display should be very cheap as single part. :D
