Potassium Neuf Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Hi guys, does any1 have any quick tips for a novice fat frog user? Any tips greatly appreciated Michael BIf you want your memories or submasters to only affect certain fixtures and/or attributes (ie colour/beamshape/position) make sure the desk is set up in Partial Mode before you start programming any memories or submaster data.

Angelic Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 This may sound a bit stupid, but read the manual - I did when I got my desk, and the day after did a wonderful show (if I may say so myself!) with both movers and generics - it's really not as long as you'd think!

Congratulations - I knew that there must be someone out there who has read the manual :** laughs out loud **: I would also recommend this course of action, but then again, I wrote the manual :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 well done on one of the easiest manuels I have used, I dont read them so much as to sue them to check things that im not sure on, I find a good play is often the best way to learn to use a desk, the manuel is good for the tricky bits and the fat frog one is one of the best adn easiest to follow I have used :** laughs out loud **: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelic Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 I have to say Mr Neuf, or the rather cunningly named K-nine (took me a while to get that :** laughs out loud **: ) that I second Ben's motion of awarding the Fat Frog manual the easiest to understand!

Oh - I've only just got it. DOH (me being a bit stupid there.) OK methinks that this desk is probably well worth a look come PLASA.... (Look if they've built a desk that people recommend AND the manual is in human english then It's defiantly worth a play....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelic Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Oh - I've only just got it. Yeah, he impressed me with his cunning and sharp wit too!

smeggie Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 well done, very nice manual and board set. good pun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelic Posted August 16, 2003 Share Posted August 16, 2003 To be perfectly honest, and to go *slightly* off topic - may I just say what a marvellous board the Fat Frog is. My initial thought upon getting mine out of the box was 'well bugger me, a brilliant desk, loads of features, and blummin good for the money!' - and I'm not even Northern (if the accent came across at all!). For the applications and market sector it caters for, all hail Zero 88! Sorry, anti-rant over now. :** laughs out loud **: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac500 Posted August 17, 2003 Author Share Posted August 17, 2003 Thanks guys. I've used the board now. Over all good however there's no release button unless I missed it I.e once you've put a sub up then take it down and u wanna do something else it still does what the sub was programmed to do which I found a little annoying but still good for what I need it 2 do.

Stu Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 You could probably record a sub in which all the LTP channels in the movers are set to 0, or a home position if you like. That might sort the problem out. Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
