  1. Hi Edward, Fortunately I only had 14 cues so I deleted the stack and did it again this time I don't seem to have the problem. How could I have removed the offending problems without deleting the stack and creating again? After all if I had many more cues I wouldn't have liked to start again! Thanks, Brett
  2. I am at a loss on how to record a cue in the master playback without changing the Pan & Tilt of a moving head set by a Playback (for example PB6) that has not been selected changed by a Q in the master playback. My master playback cues is changing the colour of some LED PARS and Fresnels. With Tracking enabled these are all selected, just selecting colour, the moving heads are NOT selected, and yet the moving heads are shown in the program window for this cue. For example, PB6 move the MH to say Pan 56, Tilt 54, when a master PB is run it moves the head back to 50, 50. I am running 7.14.2 SW. I should be grateful if anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong or conversely what I need to do to achieve my aim. Many thanks for any help in this annoying problem that I have, Brett
  3. Thanks Edward, snag is and I don't remember why, we had to turn "Tracking off" at some point because we couldn't do something or other and now we can't enable it again without re-programming all the "rgb colour mixing on playbacks". I think the help needs further info on this topic https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/setup/settings/record-update#tracking because it implies that you can, Brett
  4. Thanks Edward, but I am still confused because the information on the link says "Enabled means that tracking options will be available within the Record and Update windows. Tracking options can be changed at any time without affecting cues that have already been programmed". Saying it does not affect cues that have already been programmed? Brett
  5. I would appreciate some advice on what I am doing incorrectly or possibly what I haven't done when I first created the Playback. The Playback was originally created as per one of the Help Documents for creating RGBA, etc & Intensity of an LED Parcan. The problem is that when I now enable Tracking the playback config changes and the Parcan is no longer being instructed to change the colour, etc Using the Program Window here is a picture before the Tracking change to Enabled: and here it is after Tracking is enabled The setting of Red has permanently disappeared. I am running SW version 7.14 and does exactly the same thing on the actual Desk or on Phantom which I used to capture these pictures Many thanks, Brett
  6. Fantastic, I won't go further until 7.14 in that case and many thanks for your help and fast response times Brett
  7. Ah, I thought I had done exactly what you said, but I hadn't reselected the Chauvet at the higher level! All is working now, many many thanks. Incidently when one updates the types all the descriptions are written over, is there anyone to keep the descriptions when changing the type, one can't seem to use the usual windows copy and paste? Brett
  8. Thanks for the update Edward, although one can go through the motions of selecting it (the button changes to either red or green) it doesn't seem to change anything. I have been running OS 9.13 (after replacement of the Fader PCB) for several shows now and the only difficulty is with selecting Colour Palettes which I will raise as another topic Brett
  9. Hi Edward, What I describe below works with Phantom OS 9,9.5 but not with 9.13, I have tried on the desk with 9.13 and get the same results, perhaps I have missed something in the upgrades? I have some Chauvet Slimpars configured in 4 channel mode these are on page 5 of the MFKs: I select the MFK to configure Using MFK position, intensity is raised to 100 Use MFK Colour for display (default of 255 255 255) Wheels all work in that the colours setting change with a wheel movement I now go to the Other Windows>- Colour Palettes>-Lee and select (for example) 002 Rose Pink. I expected the MFK colour to change, it doesn't. All the Palette buttons are Blue until one is selected when the selected button turns black, on OS 9.9.5 this does indeed work. On selecting some other Palette window such as Other Windows>- Colour Palettes>-Palettes or Other Windows>- Colour Palettes>-Picker the MFK colours change. For example, after clicking on "Automatically create Colour Palette" if I select "4C Red" the MFK colour changes (as expected C4 (255) C4(0) C4 (0)). Another example, using the "Picker window" if I click somewhere in the "Dark Blue" area the MFK colours change as expected (7 44 255). I tried some other windows (Mood Boards by Lee Filters & Roscolux) they seem to have the same problem. Has there been a new step introduced since OS 9.9.5? I would have expected the Functionality to be the same on all of these selection window types. Many thanks, Brett
  10. Thanks for the feedback, the Desk I am using is the Solution, one doesn't get the option of selecting a Legacy prod uct as per the screen shot attached, I looked at an old manual (IM9210 for Solution last year) it shows the window (attached) but doesn't describe the operation of the button. In the latest user manual it seems that the implementation for Legacy one cannot get at?
  11. In the above selection I couldn't find any information on what this does (Show Fixture Section) when selected in the Zero88 manual (latest as with 7.13) or on this forum any help would be most appreciated
  12. That's great Edward and what a fast service you provide. Many thanks, Brett
  13. Thanks Edward, I had found that but when you click on the pdf it is the same link as the original above thread and nothing is found. Brett
  14. Hi, Anybody know where I can pick up this manual? The link at the top of the conversation is no longer correct. Many thanks, Brett (Regal Theatre Minehead)
  15. Hi, I would like to hopefully resolve a situation on power-up that the Startup screen (the blue one) freezes up so the system does not complete its Bootup. We have connections to all three back USB ports, it appears that after switching off and with any of the three USB disconnected it might Boot correctly, other times it takes several attempts. From time to time it will Boot first time without disconnection of any of the USBs. The USB connections are: Touch Screen, KBD & Wing Any ideas what I could look at further? Once running we don't appear to have any further issues although the Touch Screen can stop responding and the only way to get the touch response back is by rebooting the desk, could the problem be related? Many thanks, Brett (Regal Theatre Minehead)
