  1. Could be that the position parameter is in 'fan middle' mode, if you have this problem again press and hold down the positionbutton and look at the LCD-screen it could say: ABSOLUTE / RELATIVE / FAN-FIRST /FAN-MIDDLE / FAN-LAST, you can change this by holding down the position button and scroll the wheel.

     

    It's also possible that pan or tilt is inverted.

     

    Check the manual, don't feel like typing a lot today :D

  2. Anyone got any tips for a new user? And Zero88 - I'm pretty sure its illegal to sell an electrical product without a fitted plug!!

     

    No it isn't, it's a standard, not every country has the same plug :D

    And for tips: read the manual :Dand the notes

  3. Thanks ice, will do, oh the bands who are performing: Gunz Roses, Bon Jovi tribute band and KISStory, one of those are from holland maybe you know them don't remember which one and one uses pyrotechnics, think it's KISS, have to find some showmaterial from these bands, saw Bon Jovi in Oostende last year but it wasn't very special, lot's of video and LED, but there is no budget for that :D

  4. You have to 'change' every parameter so that P1 isn't on the display anymore.

     

    With change i mean: scroll the wheel so that the P1 disappears, change the parameter to the required value or put it back to the original value and then program your pallet. It works for me.

  5. Incidently, is there a particular reason why you would want to program a Colour chase without the brightness data ?

    That's my way of programming (for party's only!) K-nine, separate brightness-chases on the faders and the colour/beamshape/position memories on the sx-buttons. So when you are programming, just program everything with the HTP-data, copy your memories to the sx-buttons and put the sx-fader @ 0.

     

    is the htp-data still going to be recorded on the frog2 or do we get to choose?

  6. Just a thought ... if the power to the desk has gone down there must also be a good chance that the power to the dimmers, lights and sound system in the same building has gone down as well - so the fact that the desk is still up and running would not be a great deal of use

    We always try to keep the sound/light/ controls on sepperate powerlines, and it is always possible that some fool (there is always one) pulls out the wrong plug to charge his mobile,...

  7. Ok, an offline pragrammer would be very nice (i have one(wysiwyg)) but remember only the basic is visible, colour, gobo, prism so you could program the rather simple memories, if you need to program positions, or prismrotation, or goborotation, don't bother, it will always look different on stage, blablabla

     

    The reason i bought wysiwyg is not the offline programming, helpful of course, it is to create different lighting looks, change the stagelayout in order to get lighting looks much better than before, try out different colours and create complex positions which is not possible using the mouse and then render the image to show it to your client as a little preview or to persuade him to get you to do the job and no one else.

     

    I think it's better to put your time into the desk-functions instead of putting it in an application that you won't even use after some time.

    Just like a child, when it get's a new toy it's happy times but he will get bored after some time and start nagging about a new toy...

     

    A wysiwyg-application, using only 512 dmx-channel will cost you 4000€ for soft and hardware. Tooooo expensive to put it in a desk and it will take away lots of the processor's capacity running complex shows!!!!

     

    I just want a good desk for it's price, that's all folks!!!
