So recently I've started to notice in most of my beta packs. I tend to use pre-heat on all the channels and recently the intensity of the pre-heat seems to be increasing, theres a difference between Beta packs and channels. The pre-heat intensity always is the same between outputs 1 & 2, 3 & 4, 5 & 6. I have 9 beta packs in total all with similar serial codes 8 out of the 9 have issues and it wouldn't surprise me if the other one started to develop similar issues. I have posted below each of the beta packs serial numbers and faults. Dim 1 0030711 06420048 Channel 1 - High Preheat Channel 2 - High Preheat Channel 5 - Possible High Preheat Channel 6 - Possible High Preheat Dim 2 0030711 06420061 “Err” displayed Channel 2 - When lamp plugged in it flickered briefly Channel 6 - When lamp plugged in it flickered briefly Dim 3 0030711 06420055 Channel 2 - When lamp plugged in it flickered briefly Channel 3 - High Preheat Channel 4 - High Preheat Channel 5 - High Preheat Channel 6 - High Preheat Dim 4 0030711 06420054 Channel 1 - High preheat Channel 2 - High Preheat Channel 5 - Possible High Preheat Channel 6 - Possible High Preheat Dim 5 0030711 06420056 All good Dim 6 0030711 06420053 Channel 1 - Possible High Preheat Channel 2 - Possible High Preheat Dim 7 0030711 06420084 Channel 5 - High preheat Channel 6 - High Preheat Dim 8 0030711 06420083 Channel 3 - High Preheat Channel 4 - High Preheat Channel 5 - Possible High Preheat Channel 6 - Possible High Preheat Dim 9 0030711 06420080 Channel 5 - Possible High Preheat Channel 6 - Possible High Preheat It seems to be the pre-heat level seems to creep up slowly. So at the start it was hardly noticeable but over time (a few months) the preheat gets brighter and brighter. All of these results are using the same light, same power output (they are portable not install) and were reset before doing this list. I have a feeling from reading other posts that this is todo with the transformer or power board and a batch of faulty components however I wasn't sure so thought I should ask and see if anyone knows which serial numbers are affected.

I had tried one just like that one in the link and it didn't work! Thanks for advice I will maybe pick up a USB sound card with MIDI. 2 birds with 1 stone! Cheers Stephen

I was wondering if anyone has controlled the FLX with MIDI? I'm planning to cue the desk using Q-Lab and just wondering if anyone has done this before and if so what USB > MIDI controller did you use? I don't have a controller yet so would need to buy one but want to make sure I buy one that works, had bad experience with cheap MIDI controllers that just don't seem to do the job. Cheers Stephen
