[ZerOS 7.9.5 Queries/Oddities]

My default show file I loaded to save me from having to remake my base setup also had the same issue. Automatically create effect palettes left me with simply one... 'No Effect'

Hi Edward.
Again many thanks. I will now look at intensities and colour

Given you second comment about hard value, I am thinking if I approach it differently and set my intended colours at the outset i.e. fixture 1 is set at red and fixture 2 to green before I create the playback then create the playback/chase.

Again many thanks for your help

That would have been my method of approaching programming this chase. I would, as you have suggested, initialise each fixture with its desired colour then simply take the intensity down, then record and repeat with the intensities reversed... 

That way I would be sure that the information given to the fixtures is always going to contain my required colour data.

Ah, Perfect. 

Cheers for that! 

[Programmer Time]

Hi,

One feature I would really like to have is the ability to have the programmer time function assigned somewhere else (other than/in addition to) in the Z Menu.

I often require the desk to operate in a busking set up, it would however be useful to be able to toggle the programmer time on and off when changing gobo palettes and then also adjusting the programmer time value for quick adjustments to attribute changes such as colour.

I understand it isn't a massive amount of effort to jump into the Z menu however when using the internal touch screen for the groups page i would rather have quick access to both simultaneously.

Thanks

Joe

[Problems with 7.9.4]

I have also noticed a flash issue with one of my eight Stairville CX-3 LED PAR 64's. This I believe started since using 7.9.4, I have tried parking the unit to prevent the desk sending DMX data to it incorrectly, however the unit continued to flash randomly. This can be rather distracting when some dimmer scenes are on stage. 

I shall also check whether or not I have Rigsync active.

cheers

[Smart tag]

Please free to correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that SmartTag will basically record everything that is required to ensure the look you set up on stage is recorded as seen.

If you are unsure of how to work with tracking then it is the easy option for ensuring your cue's are recorded correctly.

Amazing,

Cheers for that!

The other option is to Record the Effect onto the Master Playback, as you can then use Speed Override to control the speed of the Effect. Speed Override can be found under the Z key, or as you found can be put on an empty Playback by holding SETUP + tapping an empty Playback.

Hi Ed,

Does the Speed Override control only work with the Master Playback? I had a bit of a test the other day and wondered why I couldn't get anything responding to the override fader I'd set up. If this is correct then that would explain why I had the issues. 

Thanks

[Position's Feature]

But Joe - Ed didn't say when ZerOS 8 is due let alone the minor rev for this feature - it could be at least a year. So it depends when you're thinking of needing the feature!

I'm not in desperate need of this feature, just wanted to know whether it was still in the plans for the console.  

[Position's Feature]

Amazing news!

Thanks for that.

[Position's Feature]

Hi,

Before we bought our FLX we were told by one of the reps who came and demo'd it for us that there were plans to implement a feature where you could import a plot of your stage space and then use that for selecting your positions for moving fixtures instead of using the sometimes tricky XY Position grid. 

I was just wondering whether this is still something that is planned for development. As the desk is used as our house desk it would be a great feature to allow us to quickly plot positions especially for moving all movers to one specific point on stage.

Thanks

[Strange FLX behaviour]

This sounds relatively similar to a few issues that I ran into with version 7.9.1.

 

Especially the Clear button becoming unresponsive as well as faders and buttons becoming less responsive.
