Hello I m still on 7.9.5... Can I go directly to the new 7.9.7 ? Thank for your answers and happy new year ! Eric (France )

Hello happy to see all différents person that use FLX ! Thank to other users to speak about their FLX use ! Take care and Happy new year !

Hello, So now I ve FLX + 2 wings and I want to put Keybord and mouse. What do you use as a USB bay distributor? Do you recommend one brand more than another? Since I'm going to plug a USB bay into one of the USB ports of the FLX, I would not want to cause any problems ... Thanks for your help... Eric

thank Jon. So I think that I will buy in Germany et Qwerty Keybord for having help.... Just a other question, when you've a keyboard, you can use for all ? For Patching DMX, enter cue name or renaming FX/colour/position palettes ? Thank Eric

Thank you Edward for considering our requests, but if all is not possible ... (thank a lot for the 7.9.6 PDF manual) In fact it is certain that this console FLX can work with a time of preparation before a show (Theater / dance) or show some time in advance. But the other thing you have to see is that sometimes the time is limited. In this case, having to have - quick access, - FX capable of generating basic things, - speed of movement and amplitudes of easily accessible movements and in fact everything that can take control of LED and Moving Head projectors, will give strength to the FLX (ZerOS) and so can claim in rental companies to have a console that requires hours of preparation for a show that must be mounted quickly. Because playing on a lot of parameters and looking to perfect things is always better, but sometimes we can call us in the morning at 8am for help, or learn that something planned is changing or not having the equipment provided (Pannes , change of rental company, etc ...) and there is a console that can be driven easily and quickly So I'm going to update to 7.9.5 to 7.9.6 with firmware update, and I will see all the news things... Thank Eric

Oui c'est cela .... désolé je n'avais pas vu ta réponse...

Bonjour Cristophe, Si tu as un PC tu peux le faire toi meme. L'autre solution est d'envoyer la fixture a Zero88. Il crée la fixture (ainsi cela permet à la communauté d'en profiter) et tu peux juste la rajouté a ta librairie existante. En general il mettent quelques jours à répondre. Une bonne journée Eric

Question is on the title... Azerty or only Qwerty ? Thank Eric

- indeed have parameters at the level of effects that can easily allow to act on speed, or size, or offset or other in a more intuitive way. On version 7.9.4, some parameters can easily go into too big or too small limits, by just changing a few things ... - The ability of some consoles is to be able to have effect palettes playing on the colors, on the gobos, on alternations of events specific to each family of projectors ... How to get to play on some parameters more easily without having to spend an infinite time of programming ... - More freedom on the windows of the external touch screen. - Subgroups or control groups of projectors with more intuitive access and allowing to work faster. - In a global way, to have possibilities through the effect palette to be able to act on a group of projectors more quickly with more effects and access to more effective basic parameters to have a recorded show quickly. Indeed what can easily miss is the time! And if this is not directly related to the new OS, but a manual that repeats the basic events of the current system, and not a version too old ...

yes it will be good to have the possibility to have a Mac compatible software.... wish that Catalyst will go ahead... Take care

OK thank ! I will try it soon.

OK I will try it and coming back if I ve problems or questions... Thank

Hello, I'm not sure I understood the way to do that. I'm going this weekend, take the FLX (which I just received) and see a little how to do this concretely. In fact having the FLX + 2 wings, in general I use the 72 MFF faders in chanel mode. To have access to all my projectors. But if I understand a little things, to use a "fader control," I have to be in the playback mode on the side of my MFF fader. That is, at least one wing? Is this? merci pour votre aide

Hello, Thanks a lot Edward, I think this is something that will indeed help me. Question Is it when I record "record home", press at the same time on "Shift" will deactivate SmartTag? (like I do for cues recording ...) Thanks for the help ! Eric

Hello, Question about "default configuration" So I see in this option that you can configure "intensity, beam, color, position and effect", for having a different setting. Imagine that for my moving head position at at central position (50% pan and tilt) that in fact on stage not exactly in the right position. Can I use this default option for example having in "central position", the real central position on stage? In fact, having this option for the right position that I want ? thank for your help Eric VDA

Hello, After reading this, I have question or rather need a clarification on the option "fader control" If I understood correctly this option allows to have a specific control on an element (color, position, etc ...) Concretely, how is it? I have on one side MMF Fader in channel mode that control the different projectors (Leds, traditional and moving head) on the other side I have my master fader that records and reads the cues. How do I proceed? I imagine on MMF 24 in channel mode a moving head (with all the parameters accessible with color, beam, effect, move ...) How to activate control fader for example on just the pan? Thanks for your help ? eric

Hello thank you for your reply. Just a reminder... 1 / for the concerns of dropout, it usually happens often after a certain number of hours or the console is turned on. (8 to 10h ...) I had trouble in many places (this excluded a problem specific to a place and specific matérial ...) In most cases, the problems are on traditional equipment. Drop out half second... Just enough to be see. But at the last show it started on 1 Spot Led. (Loss of pan / tilt half second then return to the correct position) 2 / For ghost button concerns, this may not be done for several days, then suddenly do it multiple times on the same working session. Again this is not peculiar to a place. Which still exclude something outside the console. (Like problem on electric alimentation) Thank you for your answer, I am so reassured ... See you soon Eric

Hello, I sent some mails (Keith Rogers, Edward Smith...) to know where was my console FLX, that I sent at the end of July in repair? To know if it was and to have a idea of return time ... But I have no answers .... Thanks for your help Eric

thank a lot Kevin. I will buy a Mouse and see what I feel with. Take care Eric

Thanks a lot for your answers. It is interesting to see where our community of users is. ----------------------------- For my part I move from one place to another. Using PAR Led, Moving Light and Traditional. 1 or 2 DMX universe for instances. In theaters and Performance place. 400 to 5000 people. Use rather with the Master Playback for effects that follow each other. Use with Capture 2018. (will update to 2019) Am with the FLX, + 2 wings and touchscreen. (would like to use iPhone or iPad for having control on stage... But I ve always problem with IP configuration....) I hate to go to 7.9.5 to see the improvements side effects. But for safety I prefer to stay on 7.9.4 until my last shows in July. Because here I start having good automatisms on the FLX and on a fast encoding ... Even if I could evoke some problems on this console, I like it a lot. But I look forward to working with her this summer during my vacation with Capture to take things further on the possibilities it offers. Thank you again for your contributions. Eric VDA

Hello Kevin Off topic Can you tell me more about what you use with your FLX ... Mouse and keyboard ? External Touchscreen ? What more practical use do you have with the mouse ? Do you use several wings with your FLX? Do you use a USB HUB if you have several things connected to the USB ports of your FLX? thank you for your help Eric

Hello, To speak about the quality of good equipment from Zero Before having the FLX, I had a show to do with traditional projectors, ParLed and Wash Moving Light. So I was on LanBox on Mac. there was a crash of the Lanbox 5 hours before the premiere. Can not restart. Then in the theater there was a jester 24/48. So a lot of DMX circuits and only 48 faders. So I took a blank page to see how to group things together and get everything in with the 48 faders And thanks to the DMX patch of the Jester which allows to allocate the 512 DMX circuits as you want on the Faders, I was able to group colors, intensity control and make that I can control the TILT and PAN of the wash . So my other chance was that the choreographer wanted only hot or cold and no colors. (Only white, Amber and blue were my 3 colors on the PARLEDs and moving light) So I was able to reconstruct the whole show and save it thanks to Jester 24/48. 1 circuit controlled all the general intensities. And I played on white, amber and blue by groups of projectors. I was able to rebuild front and back areas as well as right to left. Grouping the traditional ground right and left, and it was a beautiful show. What is just a pity is that this simple console is no longer for sale, because for small theater with traditionnel projectors and just few LED, it is a serious construction and especially more logical in use by report to Botex, Stairville, Berhinger and all the small consoles found on the right or on the left. And I'm very happy to have been able to buy a Jester 24/48 just before its end! Because it serves me as console auxilaire. I put on it the traditional projectors that I want to be able to access live. I always have a spare kit, side projectors and face in case of crash of the main console. It also serves me for the fog machine, stroboscopes and other small machines in the genre. Thank you Zero 88

Hello Thank you for your answers. In fact last 4 shows at the level of effects and memories to zero. (Only one show uses the previous implementation because spotlighting projectors are identical ...) So if 7.9.5 is different mainly in terms of effects it is not for me embarrassing. What worries me the most is that my different versions are non-software but hardware as evoked in another post or mail ... And so, that's what we did, these are the ones that were mounted on the screen and on the scene without moving the fader, or the micro interruptions of current in the traditional projectors that I had time in time this last WE. The worry is that all this is random. Sometimes nothing for 2 or 3 hours and then suddenly it comes and repeats several times. That is to say that even send in service after sale, I do not know if all this will be seen like that ... In any case thank you for your help and I'm still thinking about this or not staying on 7.9.4 ... or 7.9.5 ..... See you soon Eric

And just a question if I doing Update... Fixture will be delete too ? Or fixture that I ask and have installing on FLX must be install again ? Thank a lot Eric VDA

thank a lot for your answers ! Eric
