  1. hi there, i have just received a shinny new beta pack. we have put a 13amp plug on, using a 15amp cable. it is all connected up right!!

    i then went to test on some parcans, i put one on channel 6, pressed the test button and it worked, i then tested a socket with nothing in it?!?!

    it hasnt worked since.

    we have tested all conections and fuse in beta and plug are fine? when you unscrew the fuses on the front, the red light appears, so there is no fault with power from the plug? is there any thing you recomend trying,

    thank you

  2. hi there, i have a fatfrog and am using 2 robe 250 wash's and 2 robe 250 spots with 2 minimacs. are the fixture files up to date as i have been getting some very strage results.

     

    at the moment every thing is working fine, but earlyer i had colour on the position button and brightness on the colour button?!?!

     

    and then soon after that the screen went blue with some numbers on it and froze.

    i have now reset to defult, but what happened so i know for next time.

     

    Thank you very much.

    minimac :D

  3. hi there, i was using our fat frog for a show the other day, it was a 'dance' show. we had limited time so we thought we'd busk the moving lights on fx generator.

     

    however, we were flashing our subs of par's away, and then went to put the fx generator on and everytime we hit a sub it resets every thing.

     

    i know that this is because the moving lights weren't programmed in to the sub, so it resets the fx gen, etc etc. but is there any way of doing this.

     

    also, if i had a half a page of generics and the rest movers, i cant flash the generics without all the movers resetting?

     

    any help will be greatly appreciated.

     

    Minimac :P

  4. The most popular drink in Ireland at the moment has to be the 'Fat Frog' There is an ice-pop called the Fat Frog that was around for years, but now thanks to the wonders of modern alco-pops you can spend half your week's wages on one of these.

     

    Fat Frog:

    2 pint glasses, ice

    btl bacardi breezer orange

    btl vodka WKD blue

    btl smirnoff ice

     

    Could do for your stand at plasa? :twisted: :lol:

  5. hi there i am purchasing a hewlett packard pda which has windows as the operating system. can i put Phantom Frog onto it and would i be able to control the desk with it by any way. As i saw, i think it was etc(maybe) new desk has a palm top that you can adjust levels and things while you are focussing etc!??

  6. hi there, a couple of questions.

    when putting martin minimacs on submasters, can i fade up and fade down with the movement of the submaster. as with generics you can programme fade up and fade down times, the minimacs use the shutter to fade up and down, would the same effect be possible? or do i have to put fade up (shutter open)on one fader and then fade down (shutter close) on another?

     

    when using submasters, you put sub 1 up on page 1.Flick to page 2 and try and put something up on sub 1. it doesnt do it? then when you bring the sub down, still on page 2. nothing happens? have i a bug or has any one else got this?

  7. hi there, could somone explain to me? i am using minimacs on trussing, and am trying to get the movement effects over the crowd only, not rotating round to the dj side?

    are the effects better when from above? on bars above the dance floor.

    could i have an explanation of each function? thank you :oops: :oops: the manual doesnt help much.

    also can the offset be used in normal chases?

  8. is there any chance that a bpm could be built into the chase menu? say, you type 122 in, it would then, obviously step 122 times in one minute.

    this would be very useful as when on bass, it doesnt allways step oneach beat, can be triggered by anything.

    you get my point :oops: :roll: :)

  9. when i install an update do i install the most recent, 9.6? or do i have to go a little further back version 9? i just thought i saw it some where on here? :?

     

    thank you

  10. Hi there,

    i keep hearing everyone talking about using the submasters to do say, rock concert or a music show. but how does everyone acctually do this. is there a certain system that you use for remebering whats on each sub? (apart from masking tape) and how do you program it? do you have a certain "show" for certain genres?

     

    Cheers
