Hi,
I am a new Fat Frog user. Actually I did only one show with my new desk so far. I have two questions about the usage of the submasters.
I have the desk in partial program mode.
I programmed a few scenes with and without fixtures to the submasters.
Now the following happens, I have a submaster up, which only contains fixture data. Next I slide up a submaster with only generic data (i.e the frontlights). My fixtures (trackspots) will go "out". I thought programming in partial mode would give me the oppertunity to program my fixtures "transparant". How can I achieve this?
Second: With the use of submasters the fixtures will snap in at the trigger level. This is ok for the LTP-parameters, but not for the dimmer. I want a slow fade in for the fixtures. I tried timed and un-timed transfer to the submaster. Both with the same result. How to do this?
Thrid: When I fade my submaster with fixture data off, the fixtures will stay on, whilst the generics fade out as supposed to. Only the master playback X will work. Shouldn't my fixtures have to fade out on their "own" submaster?
Fourth: I have programmed some scenes with fixtures to my submasters. Changing from one to another submaster will result in a snap beteeen the scenes. This is strange to me, because I have programmed a mirror speed of the fixtures into the scnenes. So the scans should "walk"slowly to their next position. I fixed this by programming a chase with only one step. But shouldn't it also work this way in a scene?
I know these are a lot of questions, but I hope someone can help me.
