3.1 (ML v2.0)

  • The Offline Editor for the Jester & JesterML desks - Phantom Jester - has been released.
  • Pageable submasters on JesterML
  • Improved DMX Input capability on Jester ML
  • Improved monitor displays
  • USB keyboard support (Jester ML).
  • A number of minor improvements to the software


2.1

  • Pressing Go mid-fade no longer snaps to the end of the current crossfade before starting the new crossfade - it now fades from the current memory stack outputs.
  • If Preset A faders are used for live Auxiliary control, they need to be moved back to their previous positions before they regain control of the Presets. The LED in the Preset flash button will flash to indicate that the corresponding fader needs to be moved before control is regained.
  • After adjusting a single Submaster Chase or Memory Stack Chase using Shift and the Speed Control, on releasing Shift, other chases no longer snap to the new speed.


2.0 - 08/11/2006

  • Recorded DMX Input is now replayed correctly.
  • MIDI timecode is now generated in test mode (this can be used for testing Frog Boxes, Frog2s etc).


1.9 - 29/08/2006

  • Dutch language help text added.
  • Beat function now uses the last two presses rather than the first two.
  • Manual chases no longer jump backwards if the fade pot is moved shortly after a step advance is completed.
  • In Program Mode, the Copy function now also copies the memory/submaster name. This will be pasted into blank memories/submasters only.


1.8 - 15/05/2006

  • The Copy button is now enabled in Run Mode, to allow snapshots of the current look to be taken ready for pasting into a new memory/submaster in Program Mode.
  • In Program Mode, when selecting an unprogrammed memory/submaster, the outputs now remain unchanged (previously they used to snap to the current fader positions).


1.7 - 16/03/2006

  • When in Program Mode, after a program operation, the desk will now only automatically increment the memory number if the next memory is unprogrammed. This avoids unwanted output changes when changing from Run Mode to Program Mode to make edits.


1.6 - 17/02/2006

  • French language help text added. Use the 'Help Language' menu in Super-User to set the language for the on-line help.
  • When naming memories, submasters or shows, pressing a different letter button will now immediately advance the cursor before typing that letter.
  • The problem of submasters outputting from the wrong page (introduced in version 1.5) has been corrected.


1.5 - 31/01/2006

  • German language help text added. Use the new 'Help Language' menu in Super-User to set the language for the on-line help.
  • There is no longer a requirement to enter leading zeroes for numeric fields.
  • Chases no longer slow down at high step numbers, giving greater consistency between Program mode and Run mode.
  • The live override of chase speeds now functions correctly when changing between Program mode and Run mode.
  • When programming chases, the maximum limit of 999 steps is now imposed correctly.
  • When previewing chases in program mode, the chase now runs from the selected step.


1.4 - 29/09/2005

  • Fixed marginal timing problem accessing the NVR.


1.3 - 12/09/2005

  • Fixed real-time-clock.


1.2 - 07/09/2005

  • Fixed crossfade bug in Run Mode.
  • Fixed lumpy DMXIN from DMX DeBug.
  • Now shows error correctly when no panel PCBs connected.


1.1 - 30/08/2005

  • Load Show - re-load DMX patch after load show.
  • Test Mode - Show all button presses on LCD.


1.0 - 22/08/2005

  • Original
