    can the zero 88 12/24 be programmed to simulate disco lighting ?

    Interesting question - I guess “disco lighting” could be subjective.

    On Jester 12/24 consoles, you can program any of your 24 control channels into “chases”, to allow you to flash and fade channels on and off one after the other.

    For more information on chases, please see page 16 of the Jester manual…

  2. Midi Show Control with Jester ML 48

    Hi Joshua,

    I'm looking a buying the Roland UM-One MkII since I've seen this recommended a lot and I'm 99.9% sure that it will work. Do you have any experiences with that particular device?

    I haven’t used this device in the past, and haven’t heard of any Jester users using this device. It appears to be designed for MIDI Notes, but it may work with MIDI Show Control. 

    Apologies I can’t provide any further guidance than that!

  4. FLX S 24 : problème faders

    in FLX S24 & FLX S48

    Hi @Jooj

    Please let me know how you get on.

    I'm astounded that a desk of this tender age can have dirty faders that bad. What environment is this desk used in?

    I would also agree that it sounds like the console is used in a very dusty environment to exhibit these symptoms. FLX S24 consoles were launched in 2017, so it can only be 4 years at the oldest.

    13 minutes ago, kgallen said:

    Also, I'm not sure "contact cleaner" is that wise for carbon track potentiometers??? This will strip the faders of their lubrication and is thus a downward spiral regards reliability and (electrical) noise.

    @kgallen Contact cleaner can be used VERY sparingly on these self-greasing faders (just a minute drop), which can bring them back to life if they are not registering correctly. Use air duster if you want to be on the safe side.

    If this doesn't solve the issue, the faders will need to be replaced.

    Hi Joshua,

    Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum.

    41 minutes ago, Joshua said:

    Yes, this is exactly what it looks like, I'm suspecting that it might be the issue here,

    As per the link @Jon Hole posted, devices that look like this rarely work with the MIDI Show Control protocol.

    42 minutes ago, Joshua said:

    Can you recommend any higher quality converters? I'm pretty new to midi and have no idea what to look out for.

    Any MIDI interfaces from reputable manufacturers should be compatible with the MIDI Show Control protocol. For testing and demonstrations, we use a MOTU MIDI interface.

    If you have any questions, please let us know.

  7. FLX S 24 : problème faders

    in FLX S24 & FLX S48

    Posted

    Bonjour

    Bienvenue sur le Forum Zéro 88.

    Merci pour la description détaillée de vos résultats en mode test.
    Je recommanderais d'injecter du "nettoyant de contact" dans les faders et de les travailler de haut en bas. Cela éliminera toute saleté pouvant causer un enregistrement incorrect des faders. Veuillez n'en utiliser qu'une très petite quantité dans chaque fader - une trop grande quantité causera des dommages permanents aux faders.

    Une fois que vous avez appliqué un nettoyeur de contact à chaque fader, redémarrez la console en mode Test, pour vous permettre de voir comment cela a affecté les faders.

    Si vous avez des questions, s'il vous plaît laissez-nous savoir.

     

    Hello

    Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum.

    Thank you for the detailed description of your findings in Test Mode. 
    I would recommend squirting some "contact cleaner" into the faders, and working them up and down. This will clear out any grime that may be causing the faders to register incorrectly. Please only use a very small amount in each fader - too much will cause permanent damage to the faders.

    Once you have applied contact cleaner to each fader, boot the console into Test Mode again, to allow you to see how this has affected the faders.

    If you have any questions, please let us know.

    Is there anythimg else needed to do? I have done all the above but nothing is happening, I have a recorded chase and sound out from my mixer via aux monitor...

    You shouldn't need to do anything else - connect your audio feed, enable Sound to Light on a chase, and then run the chase...

    https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/chases/chase-settings

    You may find it easiest to set the Chase's speed to 1 BPM - that way you can see the Sound To Light triggers more easily.

    If there doesn't seem to be any audio reaching the console, you can boot the console into Test Mode. For information on accessing Test Mode, please see the link below...

    https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/trouble-shooting/test-mode

    If you choose the "Other Test" tab at the top, this will then show you the audio levels being received.

    If you have any questions let me know.

    But with the B1R there is a bug on the position menu.

    When I turn the pan wheel it moves correctly but  the tilt is also moving back and forth at the same time. When I turn the pan wheel it moves from 1 cm back and forth only.

    Please find the updated fixture file attached...

    there are 12 buttons to attribute to movers via profiles, is that all I can use or is there a banking system that I cant find/make work?

    Hi Edward apologies I realised I never came back to you regarding this. We were shut for a further 6months following the Christmas lockdown and I just forgot sorry!

    All seems to be ok now following the latest software update!

    No problem. Glad to hear it.

    Hello Again,

    Catching up on old topics today!

    We got to the bottom of this, it turned out to be an issue in the hardware of the controller for any address beyond 256.

    Prolight are (still) in the process of making us brand new controllers to replace the faulty ones. 

    Thanks.

    Thanks very much for the update. Glad to hear you got to the bottom of this, and hope you get a replacement soon.

    Hi @martin o

    Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum.

    Certain parts of a cue stack of a show I would like to capture and merge in to another show. I appreciate that renumbering may be required but being able to 'tack it' on the end of a new cue stack would be perfect.

    Upon loading a show file, you will completely wipe the current show file, and replace it with the loaded show. There is therefore no way of importing certain cues from one show into the current show file.

    Cues within a show file can be transferred to other playbacks in the same show file if required.

    If you have any questions, please let us know.

    Hi @beyond the blue,

    Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum.

    1 hour ago, beyond the blue said:

    Is there a quick way to get back to the missed cue without using the mouse or touch pad, like a one press back button?

    On FLX S48 consoles, there is not a dedicated Back button. However, you can configure the GO button, so that if you hold SHIFT and tap the GO button, you pause your cue transitions or go back to the previous cue. To do this, you can hold the SETUP key, and tap the Master Playback's button. This will open the Playback Settings. The bottom row of options are the button functions. If you hold the Z/SHIFT key, you will see the current shifted option indicated. Keeping the Z/Shift key held, tap the "Pause" option, and then release the Z/Shift key. You can then press OK on the Playback Settings.

    Now, if you are mid-way through a cue transition, SHIFT + GO will Pause the transition. Another press of SHIFT + GO, will Go back to the previous cue.

    I hope this helps, if you have any questions please let me know.
