What makes this whole thing worse is that not only the FLASH function is affected, but say, when I put a chase or a intelligent light (without brightness function) under a fader, I can't turn it off ! because the LTP snap's to it's programmed value when it reaches its level, but won't go to 0 when the fader is pulled down. Any solutions ?

Well, the reason of the Mambo Frog is because I didn't choose it. I'm just the LJ who programs it and does the shows in my Discotheque. An external compagny has calculated our needs and came up with the Mambo Frog solution. I'm afraid this is turning to a 'return of desk' issue

NP :wink: Well, I already thought of that solution, but since the flash-length is fixed, that's not quite a good solution. The only way to solve this at this point is (please tell me I'm wrong), a firmware update. Let's say the LTP trigger is at 10% that when the fader reaches 10% the command is executed as programmed, and when it goes back below 10% the execution of the command is stopped. (Same as with the flash buttons from 0-100%). Hope to get a reply soon because I'm kind of stuck with the programming. The desk ik brandnew and all needs to be programmed.

Is it possible to Blackout LTP values ? Now the blackout button seems to affect only the BRIGHTNESS function. But most of my intelligent light effects blackout with the shutter/gobo wheel. How should I solve this problem ?

I'm not sure if this is an answer to your question but you could purchase a DMX merger. This device merges the 2 DMX signals together from 2 desks onto one DMX line... I know showtec lighting has this device. It's described in their catalogue as DMX merge (P300, ref n° 50359)

How are dimmers and switchpacks normally assigned on the desk ? How to do this on my mambo? I can't assign each channel of the dimmer to a separate Fixture button (and use the brightness to control the on/off state) because I would simply run out of buttons. I have 9x6ch dimmers, 1x12ch dimmer and 9x4ch switchpack. The other fixtures consists of MAC's,RoboScans, Robocolors and punishers. I also have an 72Ch Multiplexer that changes each DMX value to a value from 0-10V Tnx in adv.

I'm working with the Mambo Frog, and have a little programming question. I have a certain number of JB 6-ch dimmer packs connected to my mambo, each dimmer pack is programmed as a 6-channel colour scroller under 1 fixture button. How do I flash with the submasters ? I can get them to the ON state, but when I releas the flash button (or pull the fader to zero) the effect still stay's to it's on state (the value doesn't change from 255 to 0). But when I chose another programmed submaster, the first one releases it's values. (reset to 0). How can I solve this problem ?
