Hello, Not really, you are correct, Solutions are a refresh of LeapFrog consoles. Internally newer Solution’s have larger storage and more RAM, but operationally they are identical. Therefore the Solution manual and training material is applicable for LeapFrog consoles on the latest software. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Oliver, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. The way this is typically done is using Beam palettes. To do this, turn each light on, and individually set their focus to the value you need to make your Gobos sharp in your chosen position. Then tap RECORD, and tap an empty Beam palette on the touchscreen, marked with an asterisk. Now whenever you select any of your fixtures, you can simply tap this Beam palette, and they will recall your custom focus. Hope this helps. Edward

Hi Kay, That is correct, on FLX S, the renumber function is for 1:1 renumbering, unless you have a USB keyboard connected. That is correct, renumbering cues will not renumber Next jumps. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Sam, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Are you trying to control a group of fixtures (each or which being the individual parts of your whole fixture) by a single channel fader? If so this can’t be done. You can however record your multiple parts as a group. You can then select the group, press Z, and control the intensity with the intensity wheel on the first encoder. If you simply want to control their intensity from a fader, set all the parts to full, and then record this to a playback fader. Hope this helps, Edward

Not back to default, it will clear the patch for that address. You can see this when you’re doing it on the console, as the channel number disappears for that DMX address. Edward

Hello, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. For information on how to customise fixture defaults, see the guide below... http://support.zero88.com/1011707631 This guide is correct for the latest version of software, ZerOS 7.9.7. You will need to be in advanced programming mode to do this, with the Tracking Options enabled. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Thierry, As per Eric’s suggestion, please try upgrading to ZerOS 7.9.7, and see if this solves the issue you are experiencing. ZerOS 7.9.7 can be downloaded below... https://zero88.com/zeros If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Terry, Tap Z/Shift -> Copy. Then type the number of the cue you wish to copy, followed by pressing the playback button it is currently stored on. Then type the cue number you wish it to be pasted as, followed by pressing the master playback’s button. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Claire, Yep, it’s as simple as that. Arrow down to the DMX address you want to configure, and tap the channel button that you want to control the address with. Then repeat for all DMX addresses you need to patch. No, I mean the button under the channel fader. Edward

If you aren't using WiFi on your iPad you can just configure the iPad's Ethernet settings. Edward

Hi Eric, That is correct. When you plug an Ethernet adapter into an iPad, a new Ethernet menu appears in the Settings app under WiFi.You can then use this menu to configure your network settings. The ZerOS Remote and ZerOS Monitor apps will show any consoles available via both Ethernet and WiFi, with their IP addresses displayed. Edward

Hi Eric, It is true that during a live show you don't necessarily want to rely on a wireless connection. However the Windows and iOS devices can be connected to the console via Ethernet, instead of WiFi. For example you can get Lightning to Ethernet and USB C to Ethernet adapters for iPad. Edward

That would be a new spin to "lost in translation" 😉 Edward

Don't forget, currently using ZerOS Monitor software for Windows, iOS and Android you can connect unlimited external monitors... http://support.zero88.com/999689141 Edward

Hi Eric, I believe Axente, our Zero 88 Distributors in France, have started working on a French translation of the FLX range manual. https://zero88.com/distributors/axente If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hello, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Yes, that's pretty much it. Patching is purely the process of telling the console which channel fader controls which DMX address, and therefore, which light. The external monitor purely shows you a repeat of the internal LCD, so you can therefore patch the console without an external monitor connected if necessary. When in the <DMX Patch> in Super User, the up/down arrows allow you to choose each of the 512 DMX addresses. You can then assign the selected DMX address (DMX address at the top of the LCD), by tapping the button under the channel fader you wish that DMX address to be controlled by. The channel fader controlling the currently chosen DMX address will have it's button lit. If you tap the button, or press CLEAR, it will switch off, meaning that channel fader no longer controls that DMX address. If you press and hold CLEAR, the console will go back to the default patch. The default patch is called 1:1, meaning channel fader 1 controls DMX 1, and so on. Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Kay, Screen shots can’t be made on the console. However if you load your show file into Phantom FLX S24 on a Windows PC, open the internal LCD window, and then hold ALT + PRINT SCREEN, you will then be able to paste this into an email. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Kevin, Loading the Setup, will load everything that is configured whilst in the console Setup. So that’s all your settings, defaults, universes and patch. Palettes then includes all attribute palettes plus effects. Edward

Hi Kevin, If you took your previous show file, tapped SETUP -> Load, choose your show file and then choose to just import Setup & Palettes, would this work for you? You could then tap SETUP -> Clear Options, and then clear any attribute palettes you don’t need. Edward

Hi Tom, Really glad to hear your console has arrived! If you want to have a play with your console and don’t have any fixtures connected, instead you can connect to Capture on a PC. Capture is a visualisation software, which means you can control a virtual rig of lights on a PC. There is a free version that you can use with your FLX S. For more information, see below... http://support.zero88.com/1004254221 If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hello, Please follow the guide below... https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/playing-back-cues/rgb-colour-mixing-on-playbacks This guide allows you to create an RGB plus dimmer fader for RGB fixtures. If you are having difficulty, please send you show file to support@zero88.com, with a description of which fixtures you want to control by which playbacks, and we'll take a look to see what may be causing issues. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Kay, No problem, thank you for your comments. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Kay, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Really glad to hear you have a FLX S24, hope you are getting on well with it. The single select/multi select options are on the full size FLX console only, and also the FLX S48 console on the external monitor. They aren’t available on the S24 internal touchscreen. If you remotely connect to the console using a Windows PC, or iOS/Android device, you will be able to access these options via the Groups desktop. For more information see below... http://support.zero88.com/997472681 If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hello, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. By default, when you record a colour to a playback, you will always get this colour when the playback is raised. This is due to LTP mixing. This means the most recent playback you raise will be the colour on the lights, not a mix. Kevin has kindly linked you to the guide to get true RGB colour mixing on faders. Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Ian, If the new fixtures weren’t in the old show file, they will be removed when the old show file is loaded in. Certain parts of show files can’t be imported into the show currently on the console. If you wish to add the new fixtures to the old file, you will need to load in the old show file, and then patch the new fixtures in. You can then save this as a new show file. If you have any questions let us know. Edward
