  1. More Remote Switch Options

    in Frog Range MK1

    Posted

    was thinking more along the lines of a footswitch plugging into a box which produces an audio signal, and the footswitch somehow adds a bass kick or note to the audio signal .. don't know if this is possible .. just theorising

     

    The answer will be carrieing a hemmond organ with footpedals to create low notes with a foot padal and plug it into frogs audio in :lol:

     

    Don´t take me seriously again :lol:

    Now if someone musically/electronically minded could devise a piece of equipment whereby a foot switch/pedal simulates the bass beat then you have a solution

     

    I think for this pice of equip is something more necessary then a "footswich" isn´t it ?

    The audio in isn´t potential-free input to desk ?

  4. Scene -> Stack

    in Frog Range MK1

    Posted

    Just a quick question, havn't actually used the desk yet, but I have an umcomming show with one (theatre), now, since i'm use to the LSC programming method, where you put your scenes into an FX master to use for the main playback. Can you do this with a BullFrog? and how?

     

    You can also write a chase on a free memory with the whole show in it (99 steps) then set it up to attack fade - in order to fade all your scenes smooth

    then put the "drive" function to manual. transfer this "chase" to a submaster then voilá your show could be run as submaster by pressing the left step button.

     

    I prefer the memory stack method explained by sp, because all fadetimes could be setted up exactly. That´s recommend to most of theatre issus.

     

    I suggested the above only to show one more of many ways to solve a problem.

     

    Hope this helps

    One day, God is looking around the earth and comes across a Sound Engineer working. The Sound Engineer is holding a microphone and going "1,2,1,2,1,2" God thinks; "that can't be very hard, I'll see how much of his brain he's using" and reaches down and removes half of the Engineers brain. The Sound Engineer continues "1,2,1,2,1,2" and so God takes half of what remains of the Engineer's brain. Still, the engineer says "1,2,1,2" Even with another half of the brain gone, the Engineer is still saying "1,2,1,2." Finally, God reaches down and removes his brain altogether. The engineer carefully puts down the mic, and starts rigging lights.

  12. Auto Move While Dark

    in Frog Range MK1

    Posted

    I has Been Ask to Buy a desk for a theatre company that i work for we will be using macs and scrollers

    Then a fatfrog or a leapfrog is the best and cheapest to go for :)

    and we will be touring different shows and will not have much time programming

    As setting scenes and program them to the theatre stack is only taking one minute / using pallettes makes all even esier to do.

    another vote for frog :mrgreen:

    do you think that the frogs will ever have the automove feature.

    I don´t know - but I don´t see the use of this feature, I don´t work that often in a theatre that I can say move while dark is a strongly recommend thing ...

     

    I don´t think you can get as much features as frog has in this price class

     

    Cheers

    Hi Yves,

    I put the basic colours of all fixtures on the colour pallettes, have say

    P1= open P2=red P3=purple P4=blue P5=yellow and so on

    then you need only 16 pallettes with colour scrolling fast and slow.

    Now if all colours are stored then it´s easy to recall it afterwards.

     

    Try it and tell me your opinon on that...

  16. Help! I can't connect a Fat Frog zero 88

    in Frog Range MK1

    Posted

    Hi Javi,

     

    I doubt that "demux" is a dimmer. Zero88 Demux48 is a demultiplexing unit creating analogue signals for dimmers that don´t have DMX ...

     

    try to put a DMX cable with 5 pin XLR connector from your desk´s DMX output to your demux´s DMX input then everything should be under control of the desk.

     

    The other four cables are definitely non DMX so beware of putting them to your desk.

    Hi Yves,

    As K-Nine said elsewhere in this forum. You can´t alter a LTP value via a submaster only stored values are called by the submaster if it is raised to 5% (partial desk mode) with original setup settings of the desk ...

    Maybe it helps to make your own fixturefile exchange colour and brightness then voilá you can alternate the colors by using a sub... but then your dimmer values dosn´t work like before worth to say this is bullsh**

    Hi Yves

    Yes, but only one color change is possible ...

    You have to press and hold colour button while program your submaster the only thing stored is the colour change of selected fixtures.

     

    Have luck

  20. overlay a chase on a static scene

    in Frog Range MK1

    Posted

    Hi,

    what about to have some auto- go cues containing the lamps of Q10

    Cue 11 - lamps of Q10on plus step 1 of 'train special' fade in 00:03:00 fadeout 00:00:00 dwell 00:01:00 (or else) trigger auto

    Cue 11.1 lamps of Q10on plus step 2 of 'train special' fade in 00:00:00 fadeout 00:00:00 dwell 00:01:00 (or else) trigger auto

    Cue 11.2 lamps of Q10on plus step 3 of 'train special' fade in 00:03:00 fadeout 00:00:00 dwell 00:01:00 (or else) trigger auto

    Cue 11.3 lamps of Q10on plus step 4 of 'train special' fade in 00:00:00 fadeout 00:00:00 dwell 00:01:00 (or else) trigger auto

     

    This enables you to have about ten steps in your train special cue with the jump- option it could be made random. It simulates a "slow decay attack" without altering the cue10 lamps, and it culd be started with the go button.

    It´s harder to program but the result is very exactly adjustable.

     

    I´m curious, let me know whichsoever way you go for.

     

    greets

  21. Pallette Problems

    in Frog Range MK1

    Posted

    Hi JClark,

    Surely you know that program a pallette to a cue memory it is required that fixtures are tagged, pallette information is shown on the right wheel group disp. exp. P1 P1 P1 on the position parameters ...

    then it will be saved on the cue ... as a scene.

    Enough to go on for now

     

    Hi Graham,

    As marketing guy you should know if, you ask the users it will never be enough . Else if you ask the investors they would like to have a

    selfworking lightdesk as big as a 1HE Unit to install in a siderack doing all the work like patching, plotting, cueing self. It would be better if it can print a stageplan with all fixtures and positions to give it stagehands.

    (It should have a DFA* knob)

    So a lighting tech or a LD is gonna be useless.

     

    As user I´m very happy with our desk it does all it´s work very good- As you can see on several pics :) esp. after the software updates.

    So I totally trust you doing a great successor to the frog´s
