Sound

[JB97]

Hi,

 

I recently used a fat frog desk and found the sound input very useful when I ran chases, it meant I could sit back and let our sound technician have some fun. I'm just wondering if the jester has a similar thing to be used, as I work frequently with one and don't want to have to run chases manually in time with music.

 

Thanks,

 

James

Hi James,

 

Yes - the Jester as a sound input.

 

There's more info on Page 31 and Page 56 of the manual

Hi Jon,

 

How does the detector work, is it a threshold or is there a bpm detector in the desk?

 

Thanks,

Hi James,

 

The line-level signal goes through various hardware filters and compression which then creates an electrical pulse, which triggers each step of the chase.
