[Disabling The Blackout Key?]

There is no way of disabling the BLACKOUT key (or any other key or front panel control).

 

If you don't want a blackout ... don't press the key

 

 

OK, but...

 

can't you disable this button on Fat Frog etc? Like you used to be able to do with the flash buttons? Because if you sit your script on top of the desk, as I do, you run the risk of exciting plunges into darkness...

[A Couple Of Suggestions...]

1. What are you attempting to do by clearing the fixtures ? By 'neutral' do you mean clearing all the memory, submaster, palette data and the patch ... in which case use the [Reset Desk] option ... or do you mean something else ?

 

Sorry, not very clear. I'm just wanting to clear all programmed fixtures, in the same way as I can clear palettes (for example) without having to go and delete them all, but without having to do a desk reset.

Hi - how do I do this? I can't find it in the menus?

[A Couple Of Suggestions...]

Hi - a couple of things have annoyed me during my first show with our new leapfrog 48.

 

1. How about a "clear fixtures" setting in the "clear" menu? That way I could return my desk to "neutral" without having to manually clear fixtures, same as I can already do with palettes etc. Auto menus are very cool, by the way!

 

2. The "save show" screen would be better if it would allow you to select from saved shows already on the USB stick, rather than having to remember what you called it (if you save periodically while programming, which I do).

 

3. The desk won't boot with the (Zero-88 supplied!) USB drive plugged in. Is it necessary for any reason to attempt to boot from the external before the internal drive? Could it be the other way around to avoid this minor but irritating issue?

 

4. Lastly, how about a "custom" desk lock where you can select which features/controls remain active?

 

However still liking the leapfrog better than the new strand palette, which I also auditioned...

 

cheers

[Desk Freezes On "delete Fixtures"]

Hi - I've got a Leapfrog 48. When I attempt to delete programmed fixtures (through setup - edit fixtures - delete) I get the black screen and X of interminable doom. This manoeuvre also crashes Phantom frog. I tried to upload the error file but it won't let me, so if you reply with an email address I'll send it to you.
