Wide Operation
Outputting scenes from the preset faders or stored scene, manual or timed crossfades
between scenes (faders and stored). Flashing, soloing and latching of channels.
In Wide Mode you are able to crossfade between, or combine two full width scenes, ie 48
channels on the Leap Frog 48 desk or 96 channels on the Leap Frog 96 desk.
A scene is set up using the PRESET A and PRESET B faders to set all the dimmer levels.
The scene is then stored in memory by pressing the PRESET CONTROL button.
A second scene is then set up on the PRESET A and PRESET B faders. The A MASTER
and B MASTER faders are then be used to crossfade between the two scenes.
The PRESET CONTROL button and accompanying LEDs are used to control and indicate
whether the A MASTER or B MASTER has control of the preset channel faders, and which
master has control over the stored scene.
Setting Up and Storing Scenes
Ensure that the GRAND MASTER fader is at full and BLACKOUT is off. The Crossfade
Time should be set to Manual.
If not already in Wide Mode, set the preset mode to WIDE using the Key on Special Page
1 or by holding down the SHIFT key and pressing the PRESET CONTROL key.
On selecting Wide Mode, the PRESET faders will be assigned to the A MASTER, and the
stored scene assigned to the B MASTER. The LEDs in the PRESET CONTROL key
indicate this. The stored scene is cleared (all dimmer channel levels set to 0%).
If the A MASTER and GRAND MASTER are set to full, and the B MASTER to zero,
moving any of the PRESET faders will cause the corresponding output to change. The
level is equal to that on the PRESET fader. The scene is then set up as required using the
PRESET faders.
To store the scene press the PRESET CONTROL button. The levels of the PRESET
faders are saved into the ‘stored’ scene and the LED in the PRESET CONTROL key
changes. The A MASTER is now assigned to the stored scene and the B MASTER
assigned to the preset faders.
The PRESET faders can now be used to set up the next scene without affecting the
channel outputs. To output the scene set up on the PRESET faders, simultaneously move
the A MASTER from full to 0% and the B MASTER from 0% to full. A dipless crossfade
occurs with the stored scene fading out and the scene set on the preset faders fading in.
If the PRESET CONTROL button is now pressed, the levels of the PRESET faders are
saved into the ‘stored’ scene (overwriting the previous values) and the LEDs in the
PRESET CONTROL button change. The B MASTER is now assigned to the stored
memory and the A MASTER assigned to the PRESET faders. This procedure can then be
repeated as required to effectively produce a two preset desk controlling all the dimmer
channels.
