^That isn’t a great example, as it looks like the forum has compressed the image too!

On the external monitor window? I can see that fine. The front panel is not readable.

Hi Kevin, Thanks for the feedback. We did have an issue with background noise in the FLX session. Hopefully you should find the audio of the others is better? We deliberately made the front panel window small as it wasn’t needed (other than for pushing up faders) - the buttons required to be pressed were named in the session. At 720p resolution the external monitor window seems to be clear for me in the videos. Some of the small fonts are a little broken but still legible. Any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Kevin, Apologies you didn’t see these. They were very popular and it would have been great for you to have joined us. We certainly can for any future sessions. We were originally running the sessions over Zoom. We then live streamed them, so they are now available to watch back, so the main thing is you haven’t missed any content! Cheers, Edward

Hi Kevin, These were announced on the home page of the website, and also on our social media channels. Take a look at https://www.zero88.com/live for more information. Hahaha!! No I think I’ll avoid the Zero 88 lockdown facial hair. I’ve been Edward.

After clicking Enter Details manually, you should see a drop down menu. In the drop down shows the starts of the serial numbers. Edward

Hello, Thanks for confirming. I have deleted your images just to keep your serial number hidden. I see where the confusion lies: These numbers are the part codes of FLX S variants, listed below... https://zero88.com/control/flxs#partcodes This is the part of the console's serial number which defines the product, which is different to the part code. You can find this below by clicking Enter details manually... https://zero88.com/upgrade/ Apologies for any confusion, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

This is covered from about 20 minutes in. Edward

Hello, Really glad to hear you’ve found the training sessions useful. Yep, that’s correct on both a 1 universe and 2 universe FLX S. The difference between a 1 and 2 universe console is the number of DMX channels you can patch. Therefore a 1 universe console has a maximum of 512 channels, and 2 universe console has a maximum of 1024 channels. These channels however, can be patched across 64 universes - in SETUP -> Universes you’ll see all 64 universes listed, which you can configure to route from the console. As an example you could patch half the channels on universe 1, and the other half on universe 2 on a 1 universe FLX S - or indeed fill both universes on a 2 universe FLX S. I hope that clears things up- let me know if you’d like me to elaborate. Where abouts are you seeing this number in the serial number? That is the order code for a Chilli 12 dimmer! Feel free to email me a picture of your serial number if you’d like me to confirm. Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Dear All, Zero 88 Fixture Library version 40 has now been released. For full information, including a list of included fixtures, please visit: http://zero88.com/library This release contains 12,228 fixtures from 392 different manufacturers. The library is released in 2 formats: Full version for desks running ZerOS software (FLX, FLX S, Solution range, ORB range and Leap Frog 48 & 96). Filtered version for other Zero 88 desks. This removes data that is not used by these other desks, so that the file is smaller. When using a floppy disk (original Frog series, Illusion 500) it is recommended that the floppy disk be freshly formatted before using it. Download & Installation The correct format of the library for your desk can be downloaded by clicking the product name below. Please ensure your console is running the latest software before attempting to update. The library (.ift file) should be placed in the root directory of the floppy disk or USB stick. ZerOS desks (FLX, FLX S, Solution range, ORB range and Leap Frog 48 & 96) To load this file into your console extract it to the root of a USB stick and plug into your console. Then tap SETUP, tap "Load", then select the GFT.ift file. JesterML & JesterTL To load this file into your console extract it to the root of a USB stick and plug into your console. Then tap Setup -> Update Fixture Lib -> Update Library. Frog Series and Illusion 500 Use 'Common Fixture Manager' (included in the Fixture Tools download) to select the fixtures you wish to use, and save this as a file to a floppy disk. Diablo The fixture library is used with the Diablo Fixture Manager PC software. Sirius 250/500 Use the Fixture Type Editor to import fixture types from the fixture library, and then use the ‘Export Sirius UFT’ function (under the ‘File’ menu) to generate data in the correct format for the Sirius 250/500. Further details of assigning fixtures on the desk to fixture types in the fixture library can be found in each desk’s operating manual. Additional Fixtures If you need a fixture type which is not in the library, please click here. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Eric, It is still sat in my inbox at the moment, as we have been very busy with all our online training. However, I will be taking a look at this, and will email you the steps we’ll need to make to get it on our website. Again thanks so much for all your effort and passion for helping others with FLX. Edward

Hi Eric, Great, thanks for the update, really glad to hear it. Edward

Hi Eric, Sorry I haven't replied sooner. Yes as Kevin says, these are fantastic. I saw you posted on Audio Fanzine too for people to see. We will be in touch so we can arrange creating a playlist of these videos on the Zero 88 YouTube channel. Hey Kevin! Haven't seen you on here in a while, hope you're keeping well. Edward

Hi Emrys, FLX only has a DVI-D monitor output, not a VGA output. The D-Sub connector on the rear of the console is a D-Sub 9 connector, used for remote switches. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Tom, Currently it still isn’t possible to export the patch. Only cue lists can be exported as a CSV file from the console. As suggested if you need to have a copy of your patch in front of you as you are addressing fixtures, you can either screen shot phantom ZerOS, or remotely connect a device to the console using the app and view the fixture schedule. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hello, To hold down a button in Phantom ZerOS, right click on a button in the Front Panel window. It will then remain “held”, allowing you to click another button. Make sure you then right click the button again to release it. Hope this helps, Edward

Hello, For our training sessions, we use a free version of Capture, that can be downloaded from our website below... http://support.zero88.com/1004254221 If you don’t have a console, you can practice with the visualisation software by linking Phantom ZerOS to Capture. For more information see below... http://support.zero88.com/988883201 Hope this helps, if you have any questions please let me know. Edward

Hello, Great thanks for sharing the file. I will make sure this is added to the next fixture library release. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Simon, Thanks for your comments. Hope you've been enjoying the streams. Yes - the streams will definitely be of use to Solution users too. We currently don't have this, but this is something we could look to create. In terms of general features, we have the comparison sheet below... https://zero88.com/control#compare Hope this helps, if you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Franky, I believe Keith is replying to your email regarding this query. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

No problem, if you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Shakes, How are you altering the effect speed? Are you doing this by selecting the fixtures, tapping the "Effect" tab at the top of the touchscreen, and then using the encoder wheels? If so, you will need to tap Effect until you see the effect number displayed on the encoder wheel you wish to edit. For more information on effects, see below... http://support.zero88.com/1011404471 The best way of speeding up or slowing down effects manually is to use Speed Override. Speed Override can be accessed by tapping Z/Shift, and is on the second encoder wheel. Speed Override will adjust the currently viewed playback, so choose the playback you wish to adjust by pressing and holding VIEW and tapping the playback's button, and then use the Speed Override wheel. Tapping the middle button of the Speed Override encoder will reset back to the playback speed. Speed Override can also be configured to be controlled by a fader. To do this hold SETUP and tap an empty playback's button, and choose Speed Override. Hope this helps, Edward
