  2. MIDI (MTC) with Phantom

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi Edward,

    thanks for the quick reply. That wasn't exactly what I was hoping for but somehow what I expected 😌
    Maybe this would be worth a user story in your backlog. At least from my perspective exactly all those MIDI show creations (especially with capture in place) would totally make sense to be able to do them in an office instead off "on front of the console".

    One more question regarding MIDI and the MTC section in the linked article:
    "...Any cue across any playback can be assigned a Time Code stamp, meaning that when this clock time is received, this cue will be triggered....":
    On reverse closure that means if I want to use MTC for more then one song I have to somehow deal with an offset in the MTC, meaning I can't start the timecode for all songs at 0:00:00:00, right?

    Thanks and best regards

  3. MIDI (MTC) with Phantom

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi all,

    I'm at the moment trying my first steps with MIDI and ZerOS.
    No I'm wondering: Is there a way to use MIDI on Phantom (currently 7.9.5)? For instance with loopMIDI (https://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/loopmidi.html) and reaper (https://www.reaper.fm/)?

    With that I could prepare my show at home without the need to sit in front of the console ;-)

    Thanks and best regards

  4. Sound to light for chases?

    in ORB & ORB XF

    Posted

    Hi again,

    sorry for the late feedback:
    We were able to start the console in Test-Mode and saw a perfect STL signal (almost only kicks as EQed by Sound console).
    After that we again started the console as normal and retried our tests: I don't know what we did different this time, but everything is working perfect and as expected now!

    So thanks for all the help and hints!

    Best regards
    Sven

     

  6. Sound to light for chases?

    By the way:

    My sound colleague mentioned, that he physically switched the "L" and "R" parallel by using a coupling resistance.
    (see attached circuit diagram)
    He now thinks that this might cause an issue, if you are doing the same inside the desk, because this might cause a phase shift of 180° which would result in a level of 0.
    Can you confirm or deny that you really use "L/R" in the desk or if you parallelize the signals as well - then we would need to remove our coupling resistance.

    I hope this makes sens to you, since I only translating here. I'm no soundguy as you might know 😉

    Beside this he would like to know, which level would be needed on the input to trigger the chase.

    Thanks and best regards

  7. Sound to light for chases?

    in ORB & ORB XF

    Hi Edward,

    that is exactly what we did: Enabling sound-to-light by holding setup and tapping the chase's button. Unfortunately without any effect 😞
    Our Sound signal is EQ'ed by the sound desk to only give us bass.
    What confuses me as well is that even if sound-to-light is enabled, you still need to either "use global BPM" or set a specific fixed BPM to the chase.

    What do you mean with "Test mode"? Is it an option somewhere in the setup or do you mean a beta version of an upcoming release?

    Thanks and best regards

  8. Sound to light for chases?

    in ORB & ORB XF

    Hi Zero-Heroes,

    I'd like to ask a question regarding-sound-to light for chasers.
    I yesterday tried to use sound-to-light on an ORB XF the very first time, but it seamed to not have any impact to the speed of the chaser.
    How do I have to set it up? 
    Should there be a different behavior by enabling or disabling "Use Global BPM", since this seems to be independent from enabling sound-to-light? (at the end BPM was the only thing impacting the chaser speed)
    Is there any "input visualization" or need for adjustment for the sound level?

    Thanks in advance and best regards

  11. Apple Watch and locked Phone

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi Zero Team,

    Today I did my first test with the new Apple Watch feature and I love it :-)

    But there seems to be one issue:
    If the Phone gets locked (either by timeout or because I want to put it in my Pocket), the Watch app can’t do a RemDim or Highlight anymore. I can scroll through my channels, but not interact with them.
    After the Phone gets unlocked again, everything is working again.

    Is this common and known behavior or is there something I can do against it?
    Because I would not love to have my iPhone unlocked laying around in the venue     😉

    My Setup:
    - Apple Watch Gen. 2
    - iPhone Xs
    - ORB XF

    Thanks and best regards

  14. iOS 12 compatibility?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi Edward,

    thanks for this information!

    Actually I checked my installed App Versions and I am a bit confused now:
    Regarding Appstore I have installed v3.3
    But regarding the „About“ Section within the Apps the version is v3.1.10.0

    Could you please confirm, that the v3.3 Apps have this wrong verion number in their About screen?

    Thanks and best regards

    Hi Edward,

    thanks for your answer.
    Even if "which are due to be released in the next month or so." is not a very professional Answer.
    A  bit more precise or a bit more priority on your side for this release would be helpful, since this prevents your customers from updating their devices :-(

    Best regards

  21. Matrix/ Pixel mapping

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hi there,

     

    since my question wasnt answered in another thread, I create my own now 😉

     

    Here my question:

    Is there still a matrix/ pixel mapping support planed in ZerOS and if yes: Whats the plan for release date so far?

    Id really need something like that.

     

    Thanks and best regards

    Sven
