No problem. Edward

Hello, If you lower your colour mix intensity playback, it will release control of the fixtures. When you then next raise it, it then triggers, sending the fixtures to the values recorded in the playback. In this case, Red, Green and Blue at 0, giving black. To stop this happening, you can simply prevent this playback from releasing, which in turn means it cannot be re-triggered upon raising its fader. To do this, open the playback settings, by pressing and holding SETUP and tapping the playback's button. Then choose Raise and Lower, and then disable Release On Lower. If you ever want to manually release this playback, hold CLEAR and tap the playback's button. For more information see below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/playback-settings/raise-and-lower Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hello, Great, glad you have managed to get your Zoom playback working. We have now retired our old support.zero88.com site, and so unfortunately many old forum links will now be broken. All the information has been migrated on to the main site, with all ZerOS articles now living within the ZerOS Manual. For information on RGB colour mixing on playbacks, see below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/playing-back-cues/rgb-colour-mixing-on-playbacks Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hello, Ah yep you’ve got it. If you’re in Global Cue Only mode, the SmartTag button will be hidden. All the currently available Record options will be shown in the Record Options window, that can be opened on the internal touchscreen by pressing and holding RECORD. For more information on the Record Options, including the Global Tracking options, take a look at this section of the manual... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/record-options Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hello, To record just the Zoom parameter to a playback, ensure the programmer is cleared (double tap CLEAR), select the fixture, then dial just the Zoom parameter to the level you wish to record it at. Then press and hold RECORD, and ensure SmartTag is disabled, indicated with a blue stripe. There is no need to adjust any other Record Options. With SmartTag disabled, anything that is currently tagged will get recorded, which in this case is just Zoom. You can then choose a playback button to store this to. You can then configure the playback fader to control the beam parameters. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Dimitri, No problem at all! If there's anything else you need just let me know. Edward

Hi Dimitri, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Really glad to hear you have enjoyed a positive experience with FLX S48. For this, I would recommend taking a look at the "Fan V" offset setting. This allows you to achieve mirrored effects, such as intensity working out from the middle of a selection of lights. To configure Fan V, press and hold SETUP, and tap the Effect tab at the top of the touchscreen to open the Effect Settings. Then hold Z/SHIFT, and choose "Fan V" from the Wheel Mode options. Release Z/SHIFT, and press OK. You have now configured the shifted effect encoder function to be fan V. Now, if you select the fixtures, you can apply the effect you need. Then tap "No Offset" at the top, to allow you to create your own custom offset rather than an automatic one. Then hold Z/SHIFT, and dial the offset encoder. As you continue to dial the wheel, you will see the fixtures start to "chase" one another, in or out from the centre point. When you have achieved an offset you like, tap RECORD, and store the effect as your own custom effect palette. For more information on fan settings, see the link below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/controlling-fixtures/attribute-settings For more information on effect parameters, see the link below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/effects/effect-parameters For information on recording effects, see here... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/effects/programming-effect-palettes To adjust the sensitivity of the encoder wheels, again hold SETUP and tap Effect to open the Effect Settings, and in the window that opens is an option to adjust the Wheel sensitivity. Many thanks for the suggestion. I will make a note of this. I hope this helps, if you have any questions please let me know. Edward

Dear All, If you’re free, join us for a relaxed look into various FLX range lighting console topics, online during February and March. Follow along with your console, Phantom ZerOS, or just watch, with plenty of time to ask questions, to make sure you get the most out of the sessions with the Zero 88 training team. These sessions will cover FLX S24, FLX S48, FLX and ZerOS Server, but will also be applicable to other Zero 88 consoles running the ZerOS operating system. For a list of sessions, dates & times, and also to register, head to the training page below… https://zero88.com/training#eventdates If you have any questions, as always just let us know. Edward

Hello, If you come across links to support.zero88.com, this is our old knowledgebase that has now been retired. All information has now been migrated to the main website. If you are looking for information specifically for FLX S48, this can be found in the ZerOS manual below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros?filter=2 For information on this, see the Desktops and Windows chapter below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/desktops-windows Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Steve, Really glad to hear you have just purchased a FLX S48. There is no list of fixtures detailing their channel maps, however I would recommend using the Fixture Editor software for PC to help you out. If you haven't downloaded it already, the Fixture Editor is contained in the Fixture Tools package which can be downloaded from the link below... https://zero88.com/library#download Once installed, run the Fixture Editor, and then open the file that can be downloaded from the link below... https://zero88.com/fixtures/legacy-library/Legacy library (gft41.0)/UNBRANDED/_ALL UNBRANDED.ift This file includes all of our existing Unbranded fixtures. If you work through the properties of each fixture, you may find one with the channel map you need. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Mac, Thanks for the update. If there was any grime in the faders causing issues, it sounds like this may have cleared. No problem at all. Edward

Hello, If you are able to email me a copy of the show file that is causing issues, along with the cue numbers that don't seem to be working correctly, I will take a look. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hello, What issues did you experience with ZerOS 7.9.9? ZerOS 7.9.9 contains some small enhancements and an updated fixture library. If you tap Automatically Create Effect palettes in the Effect window, how many auto effects are created? You should see 45 auto effect palettes. In ZerOS 7.9.8, there was an issue with some fixtures not storing intensity effects correctly into cues. This is fixed in ZerOS 7.9.9. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Mac, Really glad to hear your FLX is going to see some action again. Have you booted the console into test mode? If not please see the link below for more information... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/trouble-shooting/test-mode Do your faders exhibit the same behaviour in test mode? If they do, I’d recommend using a can of air duster, and spraying this into the faders causing problems, and work them up and down. This will clear any dirt and grime that may be causing them to register incorrectly. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Jake, Welcome to the Zero 88 forum. As @kgallen says, sounds like to achieve what you're after, you will need to be in Partial programming mode. This means you can control what does and what doesn't get recorded into submasters. More information on page 59 of the PDF manual here... https://zero88.com/storage/downloads/24230203-252a-4a5a-b578-43c498bd6721/Frog-Range-Manual.pdf If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Tim, The / shortcut allows you to define playback/cue numbers in record, update and delete commands. For example, RECORD 1/2 ENTER would record cue 2 on playback 1. The > symbol has always been the shortcut for Thru in ZerOS, and as a symbol makes logical sense. > is also the symbol that has always been available to use in the Copy window to achieve Thru. We may add another key option for Thru in future. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Joel, Great, no problem. Edward

Hi Joel, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Multi-cell fixture support on FLX S, has been pushed back due to other requested features taking priority. Therefore currently to use the auto effects across the lamps of a Sunstrip, the lamps can be patched as individual dimmer channels. Alternatively, you can patch the whole Sunstrip as a dedicated fixture from the library, and program your own chases to adjust the brightness of the individual lamps. When the Sunstrip is patched as a single fixture, auto effects will be applied to all lamps of the Sunstrip at once. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Mac, To change the universe of several fixtures at once, go to the Fixture Schedule, select all the fixtures you wish to move to the new universe, and tap the “Address” button at the top. Then tap “Universe” top left, and type the new universe number in. Then double tap ENTER, to save the new universe, without changing addresses. The fixtures will be moved to their new universe. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Tim, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. We have recently moved away from our old online knowledge base, hence the links are no longer working. ZerOS 7.9.8 has greatly increased the number of keyboard shortcuts available for FLX S consoles. For a list of keyboard shortcuts as per ZerOS 7.9.8 and later, see below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/shortcuts/keyboard-shortcuts If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Gabriel, Yes that is correct, "Cue Only", and "Non-Tracking" mean the same thing. Cue Only is a slightly more helpful term, as it means the cue you are working on, is the only cue that will get affected. Therefore you can tap Setup -> Settings, and tap the "Cue Only" Tracking Option under "Record & Update", to disable tracking functions. For more information on Tracking and Cue Only, see below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/record-options/tracking If you wish to update to the current latest version of ZerOS for Solution XL, ZerOS 7.9.9, this can be found here... https://zero88.com/zeros#download Hope this helps, Edward

Dear All, ZerOS Library 2.0 has now been released. This is available for ZerOS consoles running ZerOS 7.9.8 and later. This release contains 23,277 fixtures. ZerOS Library 2.0, along with further information, can be downloaded from the Library page below... https://zero88.com/library For installation instructions, see the link below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/patching/zeros-library Legacy Consoles For legacy consoles not running ZerOS 7.9.8 or later, individual fixture files that you require can be downloaded from the link below... https://zero88.com/fixtures/legacy-consoles/ Additional Fixtures If the fixture you wish to control is missing from the latest library, see the link below... https://zero88.com/library#support If you have any questions, please let us know. Edward

Hi Gabriel, ZerOS 7.9.8 software, introduced our new format library. This will enable us to implement "multi-cell" fixture support, for more elegant control of sunstrips, LED battens etc. In the meantime, patching individual sunstrip lamps as individual dimmers is the best approach - this is fine on consoles without fixture number limits such as FLX, however will quickly eat into your fixture count on FLX S consoles. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Bjorn, Speed Override will be available to adjust the cue transitions of the currently viewed playback. The encoder won’t be displayed if the currently viewed playback has no cues recorded. To view a playback, press and hold VIEW and tap the button of the playback you wish to view. For more information see below... https://zero88.com/manuals/zeros/z-key/z-encoders Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Gabriel, Please email a link to the fixture’s manual to fixturesupport@zero88.com, and we’ll be able to take a look in the New Year at what may be causing the issue. If you have any questions let us know. Edward
