I think you’re right for FLX S (sorry!).

I assume you’ve already tried to reseat any ribbon cables, and extracted and reseated any SD cards. If there is a coin cell battery put in a new one.

Hi Ben, @Klang No problem. It’s quite a big one but I’ll try and get it done tonight and uploaded here. I’ll drop you a PM when it’s done. Cheers, Kevin

Welcome @Klang ! Point me at the manual pdf and which modes are your priority and I’ll have a bash tonight. ETA: assume it’s this one. Looks like there is just an 18 channel mode? Yea… with Edward and Keith leaving and Jon busy with his day job, support isn’t erm… what we’ve been used to… I hope it improves before too much customer damage is done. Kevin

Hi @Harold and welcome! Check if the Page Handover setting (change to Enabled) helps out. https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/setup/settings/operational#page Regardless it seems like the behaviour you observe is a little unhelpful so hopefully @Jon Hole will take a look at your report and see if there is an issue there.

Just select your 4 spots (order matters) and light them, Effect, pick chase1/4, use encoders to set speed and size to adjust depth of fade. Select Forwards/Backwards as required. I’d record that into a new effect palette so you can grab it quickly. (Won’t store the intensity unless you green stripe that option in the record settings).

This forum is like a train. Nothing for months then everyone is prepping for a Christmas show 🤣. At least Santa is back from his holidays to help us out. 😎

Put the speed parameter onto a playback fader and do it by hand? I think you can do that… or is that Global Tap Tempo… 🤔

First I would check cabling, distribution and DMX termination. If possible try the other DMX output socket on the console (assuming you’re not already using it).

Hi. You will probably need to be in tracking mode and be very careful you only record the fixture changes you want in each fade to avoid ‘cross-pollution’. You should be able to do this by recording two cues and setting the second with trigger ‘auto-with’. Say you have cue 5 already recorded. Play cue 5. Set lights for cue 6 with say 10s fades. Record as cue 6. Clear-clear and play back cue 5 again. Set lights for cue 6.5 with say 5s fades. Record as cue 6.5. Set the trigger as ‘auto-with 6’. When you record cue 7 you will need to account for the lighting state that results after both cue 6 and cue 6.5 have run. I hope that works!

(Deleted, Jon beat me to it with a better answer!) I suppose I was giving a manual link too though! 🤣 https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/playing-back-cues/triggering-releasing-playbacks

Here you go, 13ch and 29ch profiles. Based on your IFT but adjusted some items to what I think is usual Z88 format! Will probably just annoy you! Details added if of any use (possibly marginal on FF but useful on ZerOS consoles). Regards, Kevin AFX2810.ift

Yes it does and yes it works. RGB now!

Ok good. clear-clear View GO Faders in channel mode Push up some channel faders - I assume you have some fixtures patched! Output window should show values RECORD GO does that work?

No worries @Roland1234. Let us know how you go on!

Oh, @G-man seems I didn’t make a 2810 profile for you. I’ve been doing a few here recently I’ve lost track! Are you still in need or is your one good? I’m out tonight (sorting out someone else’s Frog2!) but I could have a bash tomorrow as you’ve provided the manual.

Ok, great news. Hope your show goes well!

Is there anything to actually record? ie did you actually change an intensity or colour etc There is no record disable. If you press and hold RECORD is SmartTag enabled?

Press the Z key. Make sure in the cue stack window your blue selection box is in the Name column, not the time columns. In Setup you can force Intensity onto the first encoder at all times. https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/z-key/z-encoders?filter=3 https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/selection-and-intensity/intensity-wheel That any use?

Here you go @Roland1234. I made this with the Windows Fixture Editor 2.6, but probably this should be a multi-cell fixture. I don't have any software to make those, so if my file below works well enough then you'll have to contact the Zero88 boys to make you a proper full-featured one. I've put detail behind some of the parameters, but not the long complex ones. Let's see if this as it is gets your light working better. I've made Modes 1,2,3 properly but whilst Mode 4 is in there, I've not done the pixel detail channels, but I've set the DMX allocate so you can patch it as a fixture that consumes 109 DMX addresses. Enjoy. I'm off to the moon now, so I'll not be contactable for a while 😉 BTW "thanks" @Davidmk 😬🤣 Not quite sure what you mean here. All of the modes have the same DMX map for the lower 20 channels. Only the colour segment details change in the upper channels. Pan/Tilt are all 16-bit parameters and in Mode 2 the colour parameters are 16-bit. JBL_Sparx7_Nov24.ift

Yea I ain't doin' Mode 4, I want to go to bed before 4am! 😄 Me and my big mouth... Right, here goes...

Thanks @Davidmk. If I get time tonight I’ll have a bash at building a fixture profile for @Roland1234 to have a play with to see if it matches the function of his light better.

With you there! Bought an Alcora in 2000 as my first own lighting desk. It comes out when I need a ‘little one’. Somehow I also seem to have an Elara… (and a Fat Frog… and an FLX…)! 😆 All still working ‘as new’ 😁 (and all bought brand new, except the Elara from eBay!).

@Roland1234 do you have a pdf of the manual you could upload here?

@G-man no problem! Wow FrogOS 5.0.1, that’s an early one! I think mine came with something like 9.4 on it, but then I was late to the party at 2006! Glad the ole girl is still running dem shows just nicely! 😎
