Update Snapshot on a Playback Fader

[ATC Tech]

Hello EVeryone,

Please help as I must be doing someting wrong here...

I have an FLX S48 running ZerOS 8.

I create an "All Lights" Group and having selected that I create a "Look" and record that Look as a Snapshot (Shift+Record) to the Beam Pallete and I see that it says "ICBPE" in the pallete so I believe I have recorded all attributes of the look to the Pallette.

I can bring back that Look on stage by selecting the All Lights Group and touching the approperate Beam Pallete. 

Having brought the Look on stage via the Beam Pallete I record it to a Playback Fader by Clicking Record and the appoperate Fader Button.

Going into Playbacks and bringing up that fader puts the correct Look on-stage... So Far So Good.

Later, I need to change the Look so set the new look on-stage and I re-record (shift + record) the same Beam Pallete and select "Overwrite" to record everthing.

However bring up the Playback Fader still shows the previous look and not the new look on the Beam Pallete.

Selecting All Lights and touching the Beam Pallete correctly brings the new Look on-stage.

I understood that I could "reference" the Beam Pallet on the Playback fader and any changes to the Pallet would then automatically reflect back into the Playback Fader..

SO, am I doing someitng wrong or does that not work?

I haven't tried what you are describing but my guess is that it's something to to with using 'overwrite" rather than "update". I think it is disassociating the playback from the pallette (as it would if you deleted and recreated the pallette).

As a full FLX user, I'm not sure if you can do this but bring the playback up, select a fixture that should have values from the pallette and check the screen. If the playback is still associated with the pallette then the pallette name will show rather than numerical values. Same goes (I think) for the wheel labels.

Obviously you could bring up the playback, select the fixtures,  apply the pallette and update or overwrite the cue but that's going to get tedious if you have used the pallette in multiple cues. I'd suggest using update instead.

Note that changing the group will not add or remove fixtures from the cue or the pallette.

Also  note, this is guesswork.  I've not tried it. Hope it helps though.

Thanks David. I’ll give it a go with update.
