I've just replied about this in another post. I tried updating the colour default so i didn't have to select a colour each time to see it but instead it assigned a random clour and now wont change it. Updating colours seems to be fine though.

Not by themselves but I tried to alter the default colour on some LED washes and it just refused. Also tried to unblock cues by both the update method and the global method in set up and neither worked so lots of my MID didn't work and had to do loads of point cues. Just really fed up with the desk now.

Well that was an interesting week. I down graded to 7.14 as this was the last one with the library that had some of my kit but it was still freezing. Programmed a show with ~250 cues and only 4 movers and it froze again 10 mins before doors only this time it never recovered and even after a reboot it is frozen. Put my spare in and it loaded the show ok after a reboot to recognise the artnet node. Probably going to look at the ION route.

Glad it's not just me. It all felt very rushed getting it out before Jon left and usually by now we'd be at least a half dozen releases on as the bugs were ironed out. fingers crossed that the regression brings back some stability.

Anyone else found their FLX crashing on a regular basis since installing 8.0? We have 2 here and I used our spare at the beginning of the year on an external show after it had returned from the repair guy and loaded 8.0 on to it. During plotting the desk froze on numerous occassions especially when programming the moving lights. My main desk in the venue continued to run 7.13 with no problems at all including using the movers once they returned. 2 weeks ago, having forgotten about the desk crashes I installed 8.0 onto the main desk and we've had half a dozen freezing/crashing issues. Swapped over to the spare desk and the same so have now dialled both back to 7.14 and will see how that goes. No-one left at Zero to report it to or who seems to care so looks like I'll be losing all the upgrades that came with 8.0

There seems to be an increasing amount of spam post appearing on the site. A lot of forums will approve a members first post before it goes live - can this not be done here?

Good luck Jon but I'm not surprised. TBH since the Varilight take over it's felt like the beginning of the end. The issue of the latest software will probably be the last so I hope we all got our wish list items sorted.

Thanks Jon. It's a shame that one of the highlights of Rigsync is that it should find a fixture and even if it doesn't have an RDM fixture file for it , the software should build a basic one and make it work which unfortunately hasn't worked for any of the Chauvet fixtures we have. Cheers, Simon

Seem to have found the Carallon database. Now just to find out why Chauvet haven't uploaded the RDM data for most of their fixtures!

Hi, can someone explain how the info gets from manufacturer of fixtures to the desk manufacturers please? Is there a central store where this info is posted for all to use? Chauvet seem to have very limited numbers of fixtures that contain RDM data (2 of the 3 I have) and Zeros doesn't create usable fixture files when it finds them which is very anoying. Thanks, Simon

Hi John, Its the Chauvet storm 2 beamwash Thanks, Simon

Hi, Is it possible to change what options come up on the LCD screen when say selecting colour. ATM one of my fixtures is RGBW but the white is on pg2 and ColourMix is the 4th button on pg1. I'd like RGBW to be on page 1 if possible? Checking the fixture file the colours are in order on the channel count. Thanks

That is really sad news, he has only just had my desk in for repair and in my short dealings with him, he was a delight to deal with. Condolences. Simon

Thanks all. I have messaged Ian.

Where are people sending their desks for repair? Sub 24 has become very unstable and never reaching 100% . We also have an older desk that could do with some general tlc. Thanks, Simon
