Hi Joshua, I haven’t used this device in the past, and haven’t heard of any Jester users using this device. It appears to be designed for MIDI Notes, but it may work with MIDI Show Control. Apologies I can’t provide any further guidance than that! Edward

Glad to hear that has solved the problem. If there’s anything else you need let us know. Edward

Hi @Jooj Please let me know how you get on. I would also agree that it sounds like the console is used in a very dusty environment to exhibit these symptoms. FLX S24 consoles were launched in 2017, so it can only be 4 years at the oldest. @kgallen Contact cleaner can be used VERY sparingly on these self-greasing faders (just a minute drop), which can bring them back to life if they are not registering correctly. Use air duster if you want to be on the safe side. If this doesn't solve the issue, the faders will need to be replaced. Edward

Hi Eric, Thank you very much for continuing to make updates and improvements to your French translation of the manual. Edward

Hi Joshua, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. As per the link @Jon Hole posted, devices that look like this rarely work with the MIDI Show Control protocol. Any MIDI interfaces from reputable manufacturers should be compatible with the MIDI Show Control protocol. For testing and demonstrations, we use a MOTU MIDI interface. If you have any questions, please let us know. Edward

Bonjour Bienvenue sur le Forum Zéro 88. Merci pour la description détaillée de vos résultats en mode test. Je recommanderais d'injecter du "nettoyant de contact" dans les faders et de les travailler de haut en bas. Cela éliminera toute saleté pouvant causer un enregistrement incorrect des faders. Veuillez n'en utiliser qu'une très petite quantité dans chaque fader - une trop grande quantité causera des dommages permanents aux faders. Une fois que vous avez appliqué un nettoyeur de contact à chaque fader, redémarrez la console en mode Test, pour vous permettre de voir comment cela a affecté les faders. Si vous avez des questions, s'il vous plaît laissez-nous savoir. Hello Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Thank you for the detailed description of your findings in Test Mode. I would recommend squirting some "contact cleaner" into the faders, and working them up and down. This will clear out any grime that may be causing the faders to register incorrectly. Please only use a very small amount in each fader - too much will cause permanent damage to the faders. Once you have applied contact cleaner to each fader, boot the console into Test Mode again, to allow you to see how this has affected the faders. If you have any questions, please let us know. Edward

Hi Tony, You shouldn't need to do anything else - connect your audio feed, enable Sound to Light on a chase, and then run the chase... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/chases/chase-settings You may find it easiest to set the Chase's speed to 1 BPM - that way you can see the Sound To Light triggers more easily. If there doesn't seem to be any audio reaching the console, you can boot the console into Test Mode. For information on accessing Test Mode, please see the link below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/trouble-shooting/test-mode If you choose the "Other Test" tab at the top, this will then show you the audio levels being received. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi @Gafferted It is not possible to copy a cue and paste it to multiple locations at once. You can however copy multiple cues, and paste them to a location. For more information see the link below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/copying Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Dave, Fat Frogs can control a total of 12 fixtures, using the 12 fixture keys. These can’t be paged. For information on the Fat Frog, including the manual, please see the link below… https://zero88.com/control/frog If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi @kinous Sorry to hear this, could you confirm the address you emailed this to? I have forwarded your fixture request to fixturesupport@zero88.com, and we’ll be able to get back to you next week. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Steve, No problem. Glad to hear it. I believe this is already logged on the system as a future enhancement. I can check next week. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Steve, Thanks very much for the update. Glad to hear you got to the bottom of this, and hope you get a replacement soon. Edward

Hi @gmanno Please could you confirm which software version you are currently on your FLX console? Please ensure you are running the latest software, which is currently ZerOS 7.9.9, prior to updating your console’s library. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi @Maryinclaydon Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Sorry to hear you have had difficulty updating your console. As @DALX suggests, I would recommend using the ZerOS Startup Tool to recover your console. https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/trouble-shooting/zeros-startup-tool Please try this, and let us know how you get on. Edward

Hi Martin, No problem. Thanks very much for the feedback. If there's anything else you need just let us know. Edward

Hi @martin o Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Upon loading a show file, you will completely wipe the current show file, and replace it with the loaded show. There is therefore no way of importing certain cues from one show into the current show file. Cues within a show file can be transferred to other playbacks in the same show file if required. If you have any questions, please let us know. Edward

Hi @beyond the blue, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. On FLX S48 consoles, there is not a dedicated Back button. However, you can configure the GO button, so that if you hold SHIFT and tap the GO button, you pause your cue transitions or go back to the previous cue. To do this, you can hold the SETUP key, and tap the Master Playback's button. This will open the Playback Settings. The bottom row of options are the button functions. If you hold the Z/SHIFT key, you will see the current shifted option indicated. Keeping the Z/Shift key held, tap the "Pause" option, and then release the Z/Shift key. You can then press OK on the Playback Settings. Now, if you are mid-way through a cue transition, SHIFT + GO will Pause the transition. Another press of SHIFT + GO, will Go back to the previous cue. I hope this helps, if you have any questions please let me know. Edward

Hi @Lightescape Duncan Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Really glad to hear you are enjoying your new FLX S48. Great, glad to hear you were able to use a different fixture profile to control your fixture correctly. If you wish to create or edit fixture files, you can use the free Fixture Editor application for PC. The Fixture Editor is included in the Fixture Tools package, which can be downloaded from the link below... https://zero88.com/library For information on using the Fixture Editor, please see the link below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/patching/fixture-files/fixture-editor-guide I hope this helps, if you have any questions please let me know. Edward

Hi @quisqui Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. By default, colour will mix between playbacks using Latest Takes Precedence. This means upon raising a playback, your lights will go to the colour recorded on the playback. They will not mix between the playback you have raised, and any existing playbacks that may be active. To achieve colour mixing on playbacks, such as creating yourself a Red, Green and Blue playback, see the link below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/playing-back-cues/rgb-colour-mixing-on-playbacks Please also have a read of the thread @kgallen linked to, which includes other tips and advice. I hope this helps, if you have any questions, please let us know. Edward
