  1. Mhh, I was mixing some wrong things together........ I don't want to use the fader to controll the speed and more for the effects.

    I just want to make a cue only controlling the effects.

    From the Record window will I have to select "Selected fixtures" (my 8 spots) "Tagged Parameters" and "Effect - Attributes"and then be able to only add the chases to other Playbacks controlling my 8 spots? 

  2. I am going to make some cue lists with effects for my 8 spots. Just simple chases one way and the other and with 1/8, 1/4 and 1/2 plus a list with MH movements for my movers.

    How do I program each cue so it only the effect (chase/movement) I am controlling?

    Is it '"Fader control effect" I have to use, or.....?

    That's fantastic, Edward. Thank you for that. 

    Do you know of any FLX S users using iPad stands that give a nice working height behind the desk? Something that clips on to the console would be even better, like the mount included with the Chamsys QuickQ.

    Tom, I am able to add the picture of my iPad solution in my flight case here.

    You already have the list of items used and I hope this picture makes it more clear.

    Please let me know if you need more info.

  4. Yes, it was SmartTag I had problems with - SmartTag is not that "smart" for me - but I know 😉

    The way to get up and running the way I needed was to go to "Setup/Settings" and change the "Tracking options" to "Cue Only" under "Record & update".

    Thank you for help and fast support.

  5. Last night I was trying to make a simple one step cue with 3 different fixtures but the recorded cue was not workning.

    The cue is in the cue window and there is one line (green) when I start the cue - but with no values in the line. I think the normal is 1.0 in the fade collum and can´t remember what else there normally are.

    What im I doing wrong? What setting is making my life hard. I hope I´ll be up and running again tonight 😉 

  6. Great - but tracking was a big problem for me, and it took ma a while before I was understanding the problem (combining cues from two playbacks).

    Sync playbacks is great but will taking to many MFFs at my FLX S24 😉

    I need to read more about Global BPM to find out the benefits using it - could be great to use the Master Playback for a tempo fader in my case.

    I am not able to apply Circle, Vertical line and more to my MHs - the effect start from the beginning at each step (BPM 60) is there a work around that problem so the effects just keep running?

  7. How can I sync two 4 steps Playbacks (two fixture groups both with a RGBY chase)?  Or a simple way to make a new Playback with the two different fixture groups (4 steps playbacks) using the already made playbacks? 

    Another question: Is it possible to "park" my Moving Heads at my defined "Home mode" when the MHs are not in use?

  8. Is there an easy way to make a two step playback for haze/smoke?

    Thinking about:

    Step 1 (for smoke): 5 to100% "effect" (smoke pump) at 5 to 60 sec (the "effect" is easy to change in the step - but what about time......?

    Step 2:  0% "Effect" for 30 seconds to ?? minutes.

    Can´t really figure out how to do it on my FLX S24s 😞

    If I make the playback as a chase each step is the same duration........ and it is not working for me.......

  9. Just an advise how to make 4 spots fade from one color to another from, let say left to right, on my FLX S24.

    Like this; all four spots are red, and the fist spot change to blue and the other tree spots are still red and so one.

    What effect do I need to use to make it as quick programming as possible. Tried a step with all four spots red and a step with all four spots blue - but I don't get the result I want.

    I know it should be VERY simple - but I am doing something wrong.......

  10. Have been adding some new fixtures to my console and also removing other fixtures. This has messed my Groups window a bit up - is there an easy way to relocate groups or do I have to adding them by myself at the "right" location?

    Have also been adding effects to some faders - how can I remove the white color from the fixtures when I only activate the effect fader?
