  1. Well thank-you uli-s_kn!

    That's perfect thanks, renumbering channel numbers works exactly as you state.

    I am now trying to think whether that was the behaviour of the desk before - I always used the "Move" function in "Edit Fixtures" and didn't take much note of the channel number. Unfortunately my physical desk (on 7.9.2 still) is currently on site so unable to test, I seem to think channel numbers didn't previously dictate location?

    Anyway, it doesn't matter as long as it works!

    Thanks again

  2. Hi, just testing the new v7.9.3 PhantomOS for Solution prior to rolling out to desk.

    With new Fixture Schedule, can we still move Fixtures onto the Preset Faders? The move option seems to have disappeared. In fact we don't seem to have control of which MFK's we place the fixtures on any more. 

    This was a great feature of previous versions of ZerOS on the Solution  and once I discovered it a few years ago, I now pretty much always move Fixtures onto the Preset Faders, as it makes the Fixtures more readily available for selection than the MFK's, where you often have to switch to GROUPS or FIXTURES to select.

    I can't see why the option can't be added to the Fixture Schedule?

    I am pleased Solution is still being updated and enjoy many of the new features, but this is a loss of functionality, unless I am missing something

    Thanks

  3. Just been playing around and testing new ZerOS 7.9.2. using PhantomZerOS, prior rolling out to my Solution.

     

    It all seems quite stable so far, apart from a number of small niggles (perhaps inevitable with a major update such as this!). Again, just using PhantomZerOS at the moment, not tested yet on desk.

     

    Here is a list of the minor stuff found:

    1. Name button does not work with Macros; there does not appear to be any way to rename Macro palette items
    2. To be consistent with other buttons (RECORD, DELETE, LOAD), I would expect the MFK number keypad should appear when NAME is clicked.
    3. MFK number keypad DOES appear when LOAD is clicked, but disappears after first keypress! SPECIAL PAGE 2 can be used or separate keyboard as a workaround.
    4. Feature request: RECORD and UPDATE options screen could do with OK and Cancel buttons (or similar) to save moving from screen to desk. Maybe indicate cue to be recorded within button text e.g. RECORD NEW if no number entered, RECORD <X> if a cue number X is keyed
    5. In cue settings, there seems to be undocumented "CLEANUP" options (note this is same as FLX). Is this future feature expansion - looks for all the world like multipart cue and/or complex fade times....!
    6. Not possible to set Chase Time to zero BPM; manual implies that this allows fade times to be used as Chase timings, but currently 1 BPM is smallest time allowed.
    7. Chase options in playback settings do not appear to be 'live', so when settings are changed they can only be viewed by Okaying the screen. Is it possible for changes to be live as they were in older ZerOS versions (on the Solution)
    8. The "Programme Time" Fader function does not appear to change the programme time.

    All in all pleased to have new playbacks features and improved colour picker.

     

    EDIT: added "programme time" fader issue
