Hi All, Since updating to this version (7.13) we've noticed some of our DMX values have flipped in some of our fixtures, was this intentional? Previous version: 7.10 Desk: OrbXF Examples: Our Equinox Fusion 260ZRs P/T speed now runs at 255 (full speed), 0 (slow) this is inverted compared to the manual and came in the newer fixture library like this. Same thing happened with our MAC 250s/250+s the focus values have been inverted in the fixture library. 255 Sharp - 0 soft (opposite to the manual). Just wondering if this is a bug or intentional? I had to update quite a few palettes and Default/Home values to account for these changes. Thank Steve.

Hi @Edward Z88, I'm in the office looking into this further today. Have you or anyone in the team had a chance to look at the file I sent through at the weekend? Thanks Steve.

Hi Edward, I sorry for the delay I haven't been back at the desk in the last week. I tried reprogramming this today and I'm still having the same issue where both the CL Pixbar and LEDj Starcloth fixtures get locked at 0% when included with the inhibitor. I'll email through a copy of our show to the support address for the team to have a look at. Thanks Steve.

Hi @Edward Z88, Upgrade has been successful, our LED battons are working nicely with the fixture profile you suggested via email thanks for that. unfortunately I have ran into one issue with the inhibitor function. both our LEDj starcloth system & Cameo CL PixBar 650 pro fixtures are locked at 0% regardless of what percentage the inhibitor is at. All other fixtures I have patched respond to the inhibitor as expected just not the two mentioned. When selecting the mentioned fixtures I only ever see pixel/RGB cluster intensities and never the master dimmer/intensity, could this be what's causing the inhibitor to constantly lock out these fixtures? To be clear i'm programming these into the inhibitor stack as a whole unit ie 101@Full not 101.1>101.8@Full. Thanks Steve.

Just thought of another question, I believe the touchscreens we have are the 2 that were supplied with the ORB console on purchase. Do they and the ORB accept multi-touch for pinch zooming fixtures across the colour picker like on FLX built in screen? Thanks.

Hi Edward, Ah ok that makes sense, unfortunately I failed to scroll the fixture groups while testing stuff on phantom it may have just been human error. I'll try again next time I'm in. Regarding the fixture levels window we have some new lights which require multicell functionality to operate better so we can probably run without it as we know that's the only potential issue until the patch is released I'll check to see if the other operators are happy to do so if not ill ask for the beta software. Also we have a set of older LED battons which would benefit from the multicell update, we just need a fixture profile creating for them as currently they're patched as 9 separate fixtures (1xDim & 8x RGB units) so a good reason to make the move to 7.10 and neaten up our fixture schedule. (I sent a request in for these today to fixturesupport@zero88). Thanks Steve.

Hi Edward, Did you find out any info on the above? Thanks, Steve.

Hi All, Now the busy period is out the way we're looking to make the move to Zeros 7.10. I've done some testing on phantom before going to the live desk and noticed when trying to update fixture profile groups on phantom 7.10 the fixture schedule is missing the slider (pic 1) Compared to 7.9 on our live desk (pic 2). Can anyone with an ORB confirm if this is like this on the live desk after updating? Also genuinely are there any Orb related bugs for 7.10 that have been flagged? Many thanks Steve.

Many thanks @Edward Z88I thought that would be the case. Will give the manual wave engine a go. Are there any known bugs on the ORB with 7.10 for us to look out for in the new year? Thanks Steve.

Hi All (this ones aimed at the guys from Zero88). We've just purchased some Equinox Fusion 260ZRs, when patching them into our desk (ORB XF) i've found that the "FX preset palettes" only operate the Centre pixel of the fixture and ignores the inner and outer ring of the head. Is this a over sight within the fixture profile not controlling all RGBW parts #1 #2 & #3? or a "multicell" issue? (we haven't had time to update to 7.10 yet unfortunately and probably won't until post panto season). I've updated the colour palettes to include all colour segments but is there a way to "update/edit" the FX palettes to include all colour parameters of the fixture without without running the latest update? thanks Steve.

Hi All, Just came to ask the same question, glad I'm not the only one! I come from an OrbXF/Full FLX background where I'm so used to doing everything on the syntax line via button crunching. The lack of buttons on the FLX S is catching me out. I found the alternatives for most things, just couldn't see how to delete a single cue... Dam I felt so dumb. Thanks for clearing this up. Steve.

Hello Again, Catching up on old topics today! We got to the bottom of this, it turned out to be an issue in the hardware of the controller for any address beyond 256. Prolight are (still) in the process of making us brand new controllers to replace the faulty ones. Thanks.

Hi Edward apologies I realised I never came back to you regarding this. We were shut for a further 6months following the Christmas lockdown and I just forgot sorry! All seems to be ok now following the latest software update! One thing to consider for future updates of the Apps, I find using the encoder wheels difficult on some tablets, its almost like it struggles to follow your finger in a circular motion and jumps from X to Full or X to zero quite often. Whats the possibility of putting touch friendly sliders on the mobile apps in place of the wheels? Thanks Steve.

Thanks, I've litterally only just converted the fixture profile today so I think the legacy one is still in the desk. Are there any compatibility implications this will cause should we revert and continue to use the legacy profile going forward? Is there any plans to reinstate the staggered macro in the newer fixture profiles as I've seen im not the first person to ask about this? Thanks Steve.

Hi Edward, I tried changing the name of the macro to match the above "quote" but this hasn't staggered my lamp striking at all. Any other ideas please? The macro is referencing a beamshape pallet for our Mac 300s & 250s/250+s lamp on value in the "shutter, strobe, control" encoder wheel. On a side note: Its abit disappointing the auto created lamp on macro has been removed in the 7.9.9 update. I've spent a good chunk of time this afternoon trying to recreate it. Steve.
