  1. Is the colour selected for a fixture in a cue recorded as data so I can go back to a scene and see what colour I used so I can use it for another cue ? I find Mood Boards easy to select colours, but at present I write down what colours I used for a fixture in a scene as I tend to use the same range of colours through a musical.

  2. I saved a show as morley dance sept 2020 . When trying different functions on the desk, to become more familiar with it, , I used the Z/Shift Save Show several times to see how the version numbering occurs. In this case it saved the show as morley dance sept 2021 , then morley dance sept 2022 , then morley dance sept 2023.

    This is an inconvenient way to show the different versions of the show, as next year I might do a dance show at morley which I would name as morley dance 2021 and find myself being asked do I want to overwrite an existing file.

    What is the numbering format for saved shows, I thought it might append a number at the end of the show file name.

  3. As I have just found out after an email from Edward, if you tap into the empty search box at the top of the Manufacturers column, as you type each successive letter, it narrows the selection of manufacturers, which is quicker than using the arrow keys with some groups of manufacturers, then you can do a search for models using the top search box.

    If you tap the ABC button, it opens up the on screen keyboard for that column.

  4. Is there any way of searching for a fixture to either use or use as a template to modify for an unbranded fixture ?

    In this particular case, I have an 18 cell RGB LED Bar with a 5 channel mode, CH1 is dimmer, CH2 is Strobe, CH3 is Red, Ch4 is Green, CH5 is Blue. Working my way down the gft40_00_Fixtures.txt I can find RGBDS but no DSRGB. 

    One option is to open a fixture in the fixture editor to see what parameters it has, but I cannot find the library file location on my pc.

  5. Tyler Holpin mentioned at the start of the FLX S Entry Level live stream video Tuesday 19th May 14:00 - 16:00 that patching of the FLX S desk was covered in a session the day before with Edward, can you please provide a ling to this session, as I would like to see if I can clear a desk patch without having to reset a desk and reload custom fixtures.

    Thanks.

  6. With a USB keyboard connected to my S24, via a 4 port passive hub, when I go to Add fixture, the patch window does not respond to typing in a letter for a manufacturer when it first opens up on the Generic Fixtures line at the top of the manufacturers list. I have to use the touch screen to select any line below Generic Fixtures, then I can use the USB keyboard to type a letter.

    Is it possible to see if this step can be removed please ?

  7. With Grand Master operation enabled, latching operation, and the desk is turned on, the channel faders will output levels from the desk, even though the Grand Master is at zero and the Go button LED is off. Once the Grand Master is raised above zero, the Go button LED flashes slowly and once the Master Fader reaches the level of the channel faders it takes over control. Is this a bug ?

  8. Is the Go button on the FLX S desk documented please ? If I have a Grand Master mode enabled with Latching mode, the Go button LED flashes slowly in normal mode and flashes faster when Blackout is selected. With Non latching Grand Master operation selected, the Go button LED flashes slowly for normal desk operation and is on steady when the Go button is help down for a blackout.

  9. Does the S24 use advanced colour heuristics, which is a feature LightFactory has. I made a profile for a 6in1 led par, selected which on the colour picker, but only the white led was used. In LightFactory, when you select white using the colour picker, the other led's are used to increase the brightness of the fixture and achieve a colour close to white.
