Hi @Davidmk Yep - these are referred to as "Looks" palettes in the list. These are sometimes known as "Preset" palettes. Currently, if you wish to record a "look" palette, you can hold SHIFT and tap RECORD, and then tap any empty palette in any attribute. Edward

Salut @delfine, J'espère que vous allez bien. Il est extrêmement difficile de rétrograder les versions iOS/iPadOS. Ce n'est pas quelque chose que nous recommandons de faire. iOS 16 est compatible avec les applications ZerOS. Nous pensons donc que l'iPadOS 16 sera compatible, mais nous ne pouvons pas encore le garantir. Si vous avez besoin d'un "écran" bon marché pour exécuter l'application Z Monitor, un vieil iPad ou tablette Android d'occasion ferait l'affaire. L'application Z Monitor est compatible avec iOS 9, qui était la version finale du logiciel pour les iPad tels que l'iPad 2. Si vous souhaitez pouvoir contrôler la console via l'application, un ordinateur portable Windows d'occasion vous permettrait également d'exécuter l'application Z Monitor, en plus d'offrir la possibilité d'utiliser des raccourcis clavier. Si vous avez des questions, veuillez nous en informer. Hi Delfine, I hope you're well. It is extremely difficult to downgrade iOS/iPadOS versions. This is not something we would recommend doing. iOS 16 is compatible with the ZerOS apps. We therefore believe iPadOS 16 will be compatible, however cannot yet guarantee this. If you need a cheap "screen" to run the Z Monitor app, an old second-hand iPad or Android tablet would do the job. The Z Monitor app is compatible with iOS 9, which was the final software release for iPads such as iPad 2. If you want to be able to control the console through the app, a second-hand Windows laptop would also allow you to run the Z Monitor app, plus provide the ability to use keyboard shortcuts. If you have any questions, please let us know. Edward

Cloning a colour palette/colour onto other lights (LEDs)
Edward Z88 replied to kgallen's topic in FLX
Hi Kevin, If you "Tag" an attribute (CLEAR + COLOUR), this simply means the attribute's parameters will get recorded in their current values. To apply the first selected fixture's parameter values to the rest of the selected fixtures, you then need to nudge the encoders. This process automatically tags the colour parameters. Edward -
Cloning a colour palette/colour onto other lights (LEDs)
Edward Z88 replied to kgallen's topic in FLX
Hi Kevin, To tag all colour parameters, you can press and hold CLEAR and tap COLOUR. However, this simply tags the parameters. It will not change their current values. The ability to use a recorded palette for other fixture types not included in the palette, is logged on our system as reference number ZOS-3718. I have logged the thoughts from this thread. Let us know if you have any questions. Edward -
Cloning a colour palette/colour onto other lights (LEDs)
Edward Z88 replied to kgallen's topic in FLX
Hi @kgallen If a palette has been recorded with one fixture type, and you need it to work for another fixture type, it is a case of tagging the new fixture type, and updating the palette, so that the palette now has information for the new fixture type too. This process makes sense if you want to apply one fixture's colour values to another fixture type, and then update the palette. The order of selection is important. You must select type A first. That way, when you nudge the Red encoder for example, the Red parameter of all selected fixtures will snap to the absolute value of the first selected fixture. You can then nudge Green, Blue and White too, so that if the type B fixtures have these parameters too, they will snap to match the first selected fixture's values. Once all the required fixtures have tagged colour parameters, you can then update the palette. To do this tap UPDATE, and tap the palette onscreen, or use the syntax UPDATE COLOUR x ENTER. There's no need to add intensity to the fixtures when doing this, but if you have them connected you'll probably want to so you can see what you're doing! Hope this helps, Edward -
Hi @Kauz No problem at all! Have a good day 🙂 Edward

Hi Kevin, We could certainly look at adding more automatic effects. For this one, I would also use "Red Sparkle", but maybe go to colour, and dial down the "base level" of red slightly. You can then play with the random auto-offset button, to get a random order you're happy with. You could also apply a "Candle" effect over the top for a bit of intensity variation. As you know, a "new" effects engine is something we're keen to implement, which you've already voted for in the "wish-list" thread. The waveforms window is currently the only area of ZerOS that is still best to use with a mouse on the external monitor. Edward

Hi Kevin, We have tested on standard RGBW fixtures as well. The "C" emitter is Cyan. Using the internal touchscreen, the onscreen colour faders seem to be tracking finger movement pretty accurately. If you're not seeing this, would you be able to capture a video of this and email it to me? Edward
-
As @kgallen mentions, the accuracy of the colour filters ultimately comes down to the fixtures. We have done testing with both our Acclaim series (RGBL engine), and our Aurora/Cantata/Coda/Leko fixtures (RGBALC engine), which give good results. The colour filter values were updated in ZerOS 7.11, so there is a good chance they look different compared to earlier software. In ZerOS 7.11, all colour filters were updated to use the latest information from LEE and Carallon, our fixture database provider. I've personally not found the faders window to be too sensitive, however I do like the idea of being able to use the encoder wheels to adjust these faders. I have logged this suggestion, reference number ZOS-11157. Let us know if you have any questions. Edward

Hi @Kauz That is correct - you could essentially create your own Grand Master using an Inhibit playback, and then disable the "real" Grand Master control by deleting it. Yes - if you create a fixture without an intensity parameter, it will not be affected by the Grand Master. This would mean that you couldn't control the fixture with a Channel fader. However, you could patch a "Non Dim" fixture. To do this, tap SETUP -> Add Fixtures -> Generic -> Non Dim -> Default Off -> Next>. Then set the fixture's number, and DMX address, and click Finish. Then, tap SETUP to save and close, select the fixture, and tap BEAM. You can then dial the "Connected Load" parameter to full, tap RECORD, and then tap an empty playback fader. Then, press and hold SETUP, and tap that playback's button. Under "Fader Controls...", enable Beam, so it has a red stripe. You can then click OK. This playback fader can then be used to set the output level of this DMX channel, which will not be inhibited by the Grand Master. I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions. Edward

Hi @Takuya Chinen, It sounds like you may have managed to install a corrupt version of ZerOS 7.13 onto your consoles. If you are now unable to boot your consoles normally, they will need to be recovered. Please delete the original copy you installed, and then download a fresh copy of ZerOS 7.13 from the link below... https://www.zero88.com/storage/downloads/ce1b318a-ab8f-44f6-ab43-8b90b50c6132/ZerOS-7.13.exe Firstly, please try accessing the ZerOS Start-Up Tool, which will allow you to perform a fresh installation of the console's software. Please see the link below, for information on accessing and using the ZerOS Start-Up Tool... https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/trouble-shooting/zeros-startup-tool If you cannot access the ZerOS Start-Up Tool, you should be able to recover the FLX console using the installation method described here... https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/software-updates/zeros-usb-creator If you cannot access the ZerOS Start-Up Tool on FLX S48, the internal storage card will need to be re-flashed. Please email your console's serial number to support@zero88.com, and we will then be able to advise the best steps to get the console up and running. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Hi @terryb Please click the link below, to download the fixture file for the LEDJ Quad Par 64... https://www.zero88.com/fixtures/legacy-library/Legacy library (gft41.0)/LEDJ/Quad Par 64.ift Once downloaded, save the file to a USB drive, and plug into your console. Then on the console tap SETUP -> Load, and choose the fixture file to load in. Once loaded, you can then find and patch this fixture in Add Fixtures. If there are fixtures you need help with, please just let us know, and we can point you towards the best version of the fixture to use. Edward

Hi @Kauz If you patch a fixture with an Intensity parameter, this will always be governed by the Grand Master (unless parked). If there are certain fixtures you want to be controlled by the Grand Master, and some fixtures you don't want to be controlled by the Grand Master, your best option would be to configure an "Inhibit" playback. You could then use the Inhibit playback as the Master fader for certain lights. To do this, set all the fixtures you wish to be controlled by a Master fader to full. Then tap RECORD, and tap an empty playback. Then hold SETUP, and tap this playback's button. In the Playback Settings, set the Intensity Mixing to Inhibit, and click OK. This fader will now act as an Intensity master for all the fixtures you just recorded. It must be raised to achieve light output. Fixtures that were not recorded to this playback, will not be inhibited by it. You can then choose to disable the console's Grand Master if you wish. On FLX, this can be done by tapping DELETE -> BLACKOUT -> ENTER. I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please let us know. Edward

Hi @kgallen Fixtures in the .ift format with subtractive colour mixing will not be applied to the Colour Filters, due to a change that was required in ZerOS 7.11 software. All other colour mixing tools will continue to work. (This is related to how ZerOS supports subtractive "Cyan" dichroic colour flags, and also additive "Cyan" emitters). Fixtures in the .ift format with additive colour mixing will work as expected. If you have any questions, please let me know. Edward

Hi @terryb Yes - if you want to start a fresh show file, you can delete your "legacy" fixtures from the Fixture Schedule. Then, you can tap SETUP -> Clear Options -> Clear Fixture Files, to remove all fixture files from the console that aren't currently in use. You can then patch your fixtures in from scratch from Add Fixtures. Don't forget - upon deleting fixtures, you remove information for these fixtures from your cues. This operation therefore cannot be undone. If you can only find a RGBA variant in the library, it sounds like the RGBW variant is missing. Please could you provide a manual for your LEDJ LED PARs? I can then provide you with the best fixture file to use. If you have any questions, please let me know. Edward

Hi @terryb If you have loaded a show file from an earlier version of software into ZerOS 7.13, you may need to "upgrade" the fixtures to the latest version in the library, to be able to take advantage of the Mood Boards. This is dependent on the fixtures you are using. To upgrade your fixtures, tap SETUP to take you to the Fixture Schedule. Then, click on the patch group button at the bottom for the type of fixture you need to upgrade. Then click the "Change / Convert All Fixtures / Modes" button at the top of the Fixture Schedule. You should then be able to find the latest version of the fixture from the library, which will be listed in the standard white text. You can then click OK, and the console will work through and upgrade these fixtures to the latest version. Once complete, you can tap SETUP to exit, and then use the Mood Boards with these fixtures. For more information, please see the link below... https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/patching/fixture-schedule/change-fixture This procedure is described in the ZerOS 7.11 release notes... https://www.zero88.com/storage/downloads/24b9c2e0-2dd1-41d9-9ff6-bb1eadfd6fbf/ZerOS-7.11-(Release-notes).pdf The ZerOS 7.13 release notes are available here... https://www.zero88.com/storage/downloads/b0ba829c-a3b8-4e62-9b6c-a372e4c0e696/ZerOS-7.13-(Release-notes).pdf I hope this helps. If you have any questions, please let us know. Edward

Bonjour, Après de plus amples investigations, nous avons constaté que les applications ZerOS ne fonctionnent pas correctement sur iOS/iPadOS 15.7. La version précédente du logiciel, iOS/iPadOS 15.6, et la dernière version du logiciel pour le matériel Apple plus récent, iOS/iPadOS 16, permettent aux applications de fonctionner correctement. Le problème semble donc être causé spécifiquement par iOS/iPadOS 15.7. À ce stade, nous ne pensons pas que les applications soient en faute. Si vous avez des questions, veuillez nous en informer. Hello, After further investigations, we have found that the ZerOS apps are not functioning correctly on iOS/iPadOS 15.7. The previous software version, iOS/iPadOS 15.6, and the latest software version for newer Apple hardware, iOS/iPadOS 16, allow the apps to operare correctly. The issue therefore seems to be caused specifically by iOS/iPadOS 15.7. At this stage, we do not beleive the apps are at fault. If you have any questions, please let us know. Edward

Bonjour, Merci pour l'information. Savez-vous quand ce problème a commencé à se produire ? Le problème a-t-il commencé après la mise à jour de votre iPhone vers iOS 15.7 ? Hello, Thank you for the information. Do you know when this issue started occurring? Did the issue start after updating your iPhone to iOS 15.7? Edward

Salut @sdanilo, Bienvenue sur le forum Zéro 88. Pourriez-vous confirmer la version du logiciel en cours d'exécution sur votre console FLX S ? Cela peut être trouvé dans Z/Shift -> Informations système. Pourriez-vous également confirmer que vous utilisez la dernière version de l'application ? Sur la page d'accueil de l'application, appuyez sur le bouton "À propos". La dernière version est la 4.2.7.14. iOS 16 n'est pas disponible pour l'iPhone 7. Pouvez-vous confirmer que l'iPhone 7 exécute la dernière version d'iOS 15 ? Je n'ai pas d'iPhone 7 disponible pour tester, mais j'ai un iPhone 8 qui est très similaire. L'iPhone 8 fonctionne correctement sur iOS 15 et iOS 16. Lorsque l'iPhone 7 est connecté à la console, qu'est-ce qui fait planter l'application ? Taper n'importe où dans l'application provoque-t-il un plantage ? Lorsque l'application plante, êtes-vous ramené à l'écran d'accueil de votre iPhone ? Hi @sdanilo, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Please could you confirm the software version running on your FLX S console? This can be found in Z/Shift -> System Information. Please could you also confirm you are running the latest version of the app? On the app home page, tap the "About" button. The latest version is 4.2.7.14. iOS 16 is not available for iPhone 7. Can you confirm the iPhone 7 is running the latest version of iOS 15? I don't have an iPhone 7 available to test, however I do have an iPhone 8 which is very similar. The iPhone 8 works correctly on both iOS 15 and iOS 16. When the iPhone 7 is connected to the console, what is causing the app to crash? Does tapping anywhere in the app cause a crash? When the app crashes, are you taken back to your iPhone home screen? Edward

Hi @Gerran No problem at all - just let us know if you have any questions. Edward

Hi @kgallen You will only encounter this if you are using fixtures with a colour temperature parameter, that has a single continuous colour temperature range. If you are using fixtures without a colour temperature parameter, or you are using fixtures that have a colour temperature parameter with discrete presets, you will not encounter this. The work around is to simply apply the filter twice. This then applies the filter to the first selected fixture's colour temperature parameter. Edward

Hi Simon, Custom desktop layouts is on our roadmap. There are many factors that decide the order of the roadmap, one of which being the votes in this forum thread. Edward

Hi @Gerran ZerOS 7.11 software introduced a new Colour Mixing system. Please watch the video below if you'd like to learn more... One of the features of the new colour mixing system, is that ZerOS can now factor in colour temperature parameters. ZerOS will use colour temperature parameters that have a continuous range from one colour temperature value through to another. ZerOS will not use colour temperature parameters that have discrete temperature "presets". According to the fixture's manual, the Colour Temperature parameter allows you to adjust the fixture's light output from 2000K @ 0 to 8000K @ 255. ZerOS will therefore use this parameter when using the various colour mixing tools, including LEE filters. My guess in this situation is that the Infinity fixture's Green LEDs are more intense than ZerOS expects at the low end. After applying the filter, you will therefore need to dial down the level of Green using the encoder wheels to fine-tune the colour. You can then save the custom colour as a colour palette, to quickly recall your shade of red. To confirm, are you using the "Expolite TourLED Pro 28 Zoom"? I am not able to replicate the behaviour you describe in ZerOS 7.13 software. Adjusting the fixture's red and blue encoder wheels, correctly does not affect the fixture's White parameter. When using the onscreen RGB colour faders, these do correctly adjust the fixture's white parameter. Thank you very much for the description of this behaviour. I have been able to replicate this issue, and can see that the colour temperature parameter of the first fixture in the selection occasionally does not change upon applying a filter. This issue is logged as reference number ZOS-11120 on our system, scheduled to be fixed in the next software update. If you wish to control these fixtures in the "legacy" method, with the Colour Temperature parameter not used by the colour mixing, the original versions of these Infinity fixtures can be downloaded from the links below... https://www.zero88.com/fixtures/legacy-library/Legacy library (gft41.0)/INFINITY/TS-260C7 Profile.ift https://www.zero88.com/fixtures/legacy-library/Legacy library (gft41.0)/INFINITY/TF-260C7 Fresnel.ift https://www.zero88.com/fixtures/legacy-library/Legacy library (gft41.0)/INFINITY/TCyc-7 Cyclorama.ift Once downloaded, you can save these files to a USB drive. You can then load each file into the console from the USB drive. You can then patch the loaded files, which will be displayed in red text, rather than using the library fixtures. I hope this information is helpful. If you have any questions, please let me know. Edward

Hi @Gerran I'll be able to provide a more detailed reply when I’m next in front of my computer, however based on your initial description it sounds like you may be using the fixture from your show file, rather than the fixture from the latest software. If you have loaded in a show file from an earlier software version, ZerOS may use the fixtures from the show file, instead of fixtures from the library. Within the Fixture Schedule, you should see the option to convert/change this fixture, to replace it with the latest version from the library. The colour control should behave as expected. Let us know if you have any questions. Edward
