Thanks for that - on a side note - the Alcora picture on that page isn't the correct picture...
The timer knobs were dark grey to match the fader caps - the knobs on the one in the picture are from a SiriusGood spot!!

Hi Ian,
42 minutes ago, iank99 said:@Edward Z88I can see how that works for FLX & ZerOS but where do the older articles referring to "legacy" products now reside? I've just had a quick look at the manuals page and can't see any links to Frog/Fat Frog (for example) and there are many still in use & being traded second hand - but often the manuals have been lost/discarded.
That was the beauty of the old knowledgebase - it acted as a repository for such information i.e changing your Jester Battery, Alcora Mk 2 manuals. The kit is still out there being used & traded because it's so darn sturdy (as we all know) - it would be nice to show some "love" by letting folks getting the info they need to use it?You'll be pleased to hear no information has been lost. All non-ZerOS information, is now available as a download to each legacy product page...

All information from the knowledge base articles, now fit into the relevant section of the ZerOS Online Manual...

Hi @drscoop
1 hour ago, drscoop said:Yes, sure. It’s a Watch v6 44mm, non-cellular, linked to an iPhone 12. I did have to update the phone to iOS 15 before it’d let me push WatchOS 8 to the watch, just in case that makes a difference to anyone else…
Thanks for confirming - same watch as me 🙂

Haven't got the physical desk in front of me, but can confirm that it works perfectly for me on Phantom ZerOS on iOS15/WatchOS8
Great news - thanks for confirming.
Out of interest, could you confirm which model of Apple Watch you are using?
Many thanks,

Hi @REDBEARD
Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum.
58 minutes ago, REDBEARD said:can the zero 88 12/24 be programmed to simulate disco lighting ?
Interesting question - I guess “disco lighting” could be subjective.
On Jester 12/24 consoles, you can program any of your 24 control channels into “chases”, to allow you to flash and fade channels on and off one after the other.
For more information on chases, please see page 16 of the Jester manual…

Hi Joshua,
1 minute ago, Joshua said:I'm looking a buying the Roland UM-One MkII since I've seen this recommended a lot and I'm 99.9% sure that it will work. Do you have any experiences with that particular device?
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!

Hi @Jooj
Please let me know how you get on.
13 minutes ago, kgallen said:I'm astounded that a desk of this tender age can have dirty faders that bad. What environment is this desk used in?
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.
13 minutes ago, kgallen said:Also, I'm not sure "contact cleaner" is that wise for carbon track potentiometers??? This will strip the faders of their lubrication and is thus a downward spiral regards reliability and (electrical) noise.
@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.

Hi Joshua,
Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum.
41 minutes ago, Joshua said:Yes, this is exactly what it looks like, I'm suspecting that it might be the issue here,
As per the link @Jon Hole posted, devices that look like this rarely work with the MIDI Show Control protocol.
42 minutes ago, Joshua said:Can you recommend any higher quality converters? I'm pretty new to midi and have no idea what to look out for.
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.

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.

Hi Tony,
2 hours ago, Tony B said:Is there anythimg else needed to do? I have done all the above but nothing is happening, I have a recorded chase and sound out from my mixer via aux monitor...
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.

Hello,

Thank you for checking.
17 hours ago, kinous said:But with the B1R there is a bug on the position menu.
When I turn the pan wheel it moves correctly but the tilt is also moving back and forth at the same time. When I turn the pan wheel it moves from 1 cm back and forth only.
Please find the updated fixture file attached...
Please try this, and let me know how you get on.
