Hi Dave, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Please drop us an email to support@zero88.com, and we’ll be able to let you know the availability. (I have deleted your duplicate post in the FLX S Forum). If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Mil, Colour will mix LTP between playbacks and manual values. This stands for Latest Takes Precedence, and as your White Strobe playback is the latest colour instruction for that light, it is then white until it is sent a new instruction. For example manually choosing a colour on the touchscreen would make it red again. That is correct - if the strobe has no colour information, it will strobe the fixture in whatever colour it is currently in. Sorry to hear this - does this playback have its fader function configured to “Manual Fade”, rather than HTP Master? If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hello, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. There is no remote application available for Jester consoles - they do not have networking or Bluetooth capabilities. If you simply wanted to power the Jester console remotely from a phone/tablet, there are multiple devices that can be used to switch power from phones/tablets, such as various products supporting Apple Homekit. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Michel, That's great. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Michel, Thank you very much for your investigations. We have found that ZerOS Library v1.0 has auto effects missing, whereas they are included in Library 0.35, which is part of the ZerOS 7.9.8 download. Therefore when you are ready to, please download a fresh copy of ZerOS 7.9.8 from the website, and do not update the Library separately. We have removed the Library file from the website until we release a new version. Thanks very much, if you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hello, Using the save icon top left of the internal touchscreen, or using the Z/Shift -> Save Show button, will save a new copy of the show file to USB with the next sequential number on the end of the show file name automatically. Therefore as your show file name ends with a number, it will simply increment the number. To avoid this with your show file, I would recommend adding a number to the end of the show name. If it was me, I would do this following an "r" for revision number, such as "morley dance sept 2020 r1". The last number will then be incremented by the quick save option, allowing you keep track of revisions throughout making changes to the show file. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Paul, That's great, glad to hear you have not come across this issue recently. Keep me posted and if it does happen again we'll get this resolved. Edward

Hi Michel, I have loaded your show file into Phantom ZerOS 7.9.8 running as FLX S48, and it loads with a single effect palette. Pressing Automatically Create Effect Palettes, then creates all 45 auto effects. I am therefore unsure why for you Phantom is only creating a single effect palette. On your FLX S48, please power cycle it, and then after rebooting please email me a picture of the Desk Info screen. This can be opened by pressing Z/Shift -> System Information. Then please choose "System Text" from the top, and please email me a picture of this screen too. Hopefully this will indicate why auto effects are not present on your console. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hi Michel, No problem. If you saved a show on your console that only had a single effect palette, and load it into Phantom ZerOS, Phantom will just load the single effect palette. However, pressing Automatically Create Effects in Phantom will create the 45 auto effects. If it doesn't, please could you send me a copy of your show file saved in Phantom ZerOS that is not creating auto effects? Many thanks, Edward

Hello, OK, when you are ready to install ZerOS 7.9.8, please download a fresh copy and perform the installation, and let me know how you get on. Edward

Hello, Thank you for clarifying. I would recommend reinstalling your console's software. To do this, please download a fresh copy of ZerOS 7.9.8 from the website below... https://zero88.com/zeros#download Then extract the ZerOS 7.9.8.exe to the root of a USB stick, plug into the console, and tap Setup -> Load, and choose the software application to load in from USB. After installing the software, automatically creating effects should create 45 effects. Please try this and let me know how you get on. Edward

Hello, Are you finding that if you select some fixtures, there is no "Effect" tab at the top of the internal touchscreen? If there is an "Effects" tab, are you able to press the "Automatically Create Effects Palettes" button in the effect window? Please don't apologise - your English is far better than my French! If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Rob, No, the console will not automatically overwrite the show file on the USB stick. This is to ensure that if you made a programming mistake, you can load the earlier version back in. However if you wish to make regular backups to USB, which is always a good idea, you can use the quick save function by tapping the green save icon top left of the internal touchscreen. Upon pressing this, the show file is saved internally, and your show is also saved as a new file to USB, with incrementing numbers on the end of your show name. Quick save can also be accessed by tapping "Save Show", found by pressing the Z/Shift key. If you tap Setup -> load, you will then see the multiple revisions on your USB, allowing you to load in an earlier version if required. Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Paul, Thanks very much for the information, that is useful to know. We will continue our investigations. I would definitely recommend using the PSU supplied with the console, or a replacement from us. Edward

Hi Paul, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Sorry to hear this. Many thanks for the information. Similar to what Stefan is seeing, do you also see this on your FLX S with nothing but power connected to the console? If there's any other information you may have on the issue please let us know, as it will help us get to the bottom of what may be going on. Many thanks, Edward

Hi Paul, That’s great, glad to hear it. If you have any questions let me know. Edward

Hello, I will ensure the Eurolite LED Theatre 36x3w CW/WW is included in a future library release. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hi Daniel, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. The SHIFT key on Leapfrog consoles can be found next to the Wheels. Please view the Event Monitor on the external monitor, and tap the SHIFT key a few times, to see if this unsticks it. If it doesn't, I would recommend air dusting around the button, and trying again. If SHIFT is held down, this will result in the console acting strangely, as you will only have access to shifted functions, and you will not be able to use drop down menus. To clear all programming leaving the patch, tap Setup -> Clear Options -> Clear All. To delete just some cues, tap DELETE, and then use the MFKs to type the cue numbers you wish to delete, such as 1 Thru 20. Then tap the flashing button of the playback these cues are stored in. This will be because SHIFT is held down. When shift is held and the go button is pressed, this will snap to the cue ignoring the fade times. Hope this helps, if you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hello, Logged as reference number ZOS-10517 on our software tracking system. For more information on this, see below... http://support.zero88.com/1836040771 Hope this helps, Edward

Hi Lehar, Sorry to hear this. The auto effects are contained in the ZerOS Library. It therefore seems this hasn't loaded correctly on your console. The show file you have attached to your post - was this saved on your FLX or on Phantom? This show file does contain 45 effect palettes. I feel it may be worth doing a fresh install of ZerOS 7.9.8, using the normal installation method, rather than the recovery method. Therefore please download a fresh copy of ZerOS 7.9.8 here... https://zero88.com/storage/downloads/80a0d826-cd2d-47c4-9b71-7e13e594a1f8/ZerOS-7.9.8.zip Then extract to the root of a USB stick, and plug the USB stick into FLX. Then tap Setup -> Load, and perform the installation. Please let me know how you get on. Edward

Hi Paul, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. Is this the CITP IP address of your FLX S24? Please make sure Phantom ZerOS is closed before trying to connect Capture to your FLX S, otherwise Capture may connect to Phantom ZerOS instead. Please try following the steps below, and let me know how you get on... http://support.zero88.com/1004254221 Edward

Hi Marcus, Welcome to the Zero 88 Forum. I don't believe these are still available. Is there a particular fault you are trying to solve? If so please drop us an email to support@zero88.com, and we'll be able to advise. If you have any questions let us know. Edward

Hello, Not at all! It is great to hear how you’re getting more out of FLX. Currently, you could enable both MIDI Notes and MIDI Show Control, and use both MIDI protocols. You could therefore in theory enable both Notes and CC if required. Yes, every cue on every playback can trigger a macro, or multiple macros. Therefore you can already trigger macros from MIDI notes, by triggering multiple cues in a playback that have macro triggers, and configuring Notes to trigger cues. Or alternatively record a single cue onto various playbacks, and configure Notes to trigger playbacks. Edward

Hi David, I’ve got a couple of day’s off, however when I’m back in the (home) office, I will log this suggestion on the system and give you a reference. Edward

Hi David & Chris, Currently this is envisioned that CC is simply a fourth MIDI option within Triggers. This could then be set to Playbacks, Channels, or disabled. Currently you have Cues, Playbacks and Channels for Notes control. In theory we could add a fourth MIDI Notes option to this for Macros. Which as you could say, could then trigger almost anything you wanted. Edward
