oligoon Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Guys, this is probably an old chestnut - and I apologise if it is - but our local theatre has a Frog desk with 24 channels, however when I tried to programme the memory it took no notice of the Fade Up/Fade Down timers - so as I didn't have time to investigate I just used Sub masters and did fade times manually. I've heard that the Frog's need to have new software on them fairly often - is this likely to be the problem? It is easily possible that in my haste I was doing something wrong. Thanks in advance for any comment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Some Bloke Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 You should be able to programme the times in to each cue by scrolling down/over (depending if you're using a monitor or not) to the fade time in the display and changing it. Unlike some of the old Sirius desks, Frogs don't take the recorded time from the faders. In Superuser you can set a default time then just change the times that you want to be different.

Tom_Robbo26 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I second what Just Some Bloke has said here.When I first used the Fat Frog I had this problem, but yes once you connect a monitor you can see all the fade times which you can easily increase. I find I am always needing the lighting to fade though so I did go into Super User (Plus, Minus and Enter keys all pressed at once) and set the default fade time to 3 seconds which provides a good enough fade. It shouldn't be anything to do with a software update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulDF Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Also check you have the override set to the mid position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HobitLight Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I would second that suggestion. I believe that if the override is at it's max it shall snap the cues, so this is likely to be your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.TG Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Our override knob once broke in the fast position... Not good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oligoon Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 cheers guys - it was probably override control. I never normally programme the desk coz I work mainly at a school where the kids never leave the same pause twice - so do it all manually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
