Hi Edward I currently use this a lot. It does what I want most of the time but I've been in situations where there's a DJ or something before or after the show I'm doing. When the DJ or whatever is playing I don't need my entire package but some lights is always a plus. Right now I have some chases using global tap tempo for these situations so if the speed of the lights has to be adjusted it is easy. Still, it would be better if the speed could be set automatiscally. In the example above, the timecoded approach obviously wouldn't work. I don't know what the DJ will do. Using OSC, is it possible to send a GO/NEXT signal to a fader which is set to global tap tempo to set the global tap tempo? Either way I think i'll try some things out with a Raspberry PI and see what happens. Regards Mil

Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible to match a chase, cue or effect to music. I found some topics asking similar questions but most are years old and much has changed since. I'm pretty sure the FLX S-series does not support this on a hardware level (maybe it could be done with one of the ports?). With the last update however, OSC was introduced which I believe could make this possible with an external device. I've never used OSC before. Would this be possible and how? Has anyone tried/done this? Can't wait to hear your thoughts. Regards Mil

Thank you for the quick replies. I've sent an email to fixturesupport with the manual page detaling the channels and I gave a brief description of everything.

I see. Thank you for clearing that up. If I send an email to fixture support, can they make me a fixture file that does support multicell fixtures?

Is it possible to create multi cell fixtures with the current public version of the Fixture Editor?

Hi all I own a Zero88 FLX S48 console. In the most recent update, Zero88 added better support for multicell fixtures. I own a multicell fixture myself but the fixture is not included in the current fixture library. I tried to create my own but I had never used the Fixture Tools program that Zero88 provides before so I don't really know what I'm doing with it. I couldn't figure out how to add separate cells with their own parameters. I created sub-fixtures for each cell but i got the error "Too many subfixtures in the fixture type." when I added everything and clicked "Ok". I considered sending an email to fixture support but since this is not that urgent, I would like to know how I can do this incase I run into this issue again in the future. Thanks in advance Mil

Hi all I was wondering of its possible to temporarily change the color of fixtures. What I mean by this is to set a color to a fixture, than start a chase or something that also changes the color, stop the chase which returns the color back to the original. For example: I have a couple pars changing blue to red every second. I want to have a button that latches a white strobe. So far all of this is possible however, when I unlatch the strobe I want the pars to go back to red or blue. Is this possible in the current 7.9.9 firmware? Thanks in advance.

Hello, No it stays like that even after cycling through the different views, recording a new playback onto the fader, deleting a playback on that fader, ... As I said, the only way I've found to fix it thus far is restarting / power cycling the console. I haven't been able to consistently recreate it. I will let you know if I figure it out. Mil

Thank you for the quick response I assume that means what I want to do is not possible? No idea, I haven't really tested or looked into it yet, just saw it happen a few times but it never really hindered what I was doing so I didn't really look into it. I did take a picture once to show you what I mean. To be clear, we're talking about playback 37. I recorded something on this playback and I noticed that even when the fader was at 0 it was still backlit as if it was active. I deleted the playback but it was still backlit and this is when I took this picture. I don't remember if it was backlit instantly after I recorded the playback or only after I changed the value of the fader. I also don't remember if this was the first playback I recorded after starting the desk. Sorry I can't tell you more, I will try to recreate it the next time and let you know how I did it if I can.

After the new update I've been experimenting and reacquainting myself with the zero88 FLX S48 again and I had a question. Lets say I have playback 1 set to intensity of some generic pars and playback 2 set to strobo for those pars. In a perfect world I'd like to: - be able to set my intensity using the playback 1 fader - set a color, say red, on my external monitor - After my pars are red I want to use playback 2 for a white strobo (usually using the button not the fader) - when I release the button on playback 2 I want my pars to be red again I was able to get to step 3 but after I stop the strobo my pars are white. When I used a chase with colors I was able to get it to work however I don't want to waste playbacks to create chases for every color. I don't know if what I want is possible but if not I'd like to know if just disabling color in the strobo would strobo red and continue to be red after I release the strobo button (this would be my backup plan) I have also discovered a bug where on an external monitor a playback looks like it stays active even if it's not and even after deleting it it still is backlit as if active which seems to disable some of the touchscreen functionality for that playback. Only restarting the console seems to fix this and it also happens to only 1 playback. Not sure if it's the first playback created after the console is started. I haven't tested it yet but if I do I can create a separate topic if you'd like. Thanks in advance Mil

Thank you very much. I'll try this later. You say the fader will then control speed and size but how does that work? Is it merged together or is it speed at the lower half and size at the upper half of the fader? Mil

Hi all, I was playing around with my desk some more and I couldn't quite figure this out. Is it possible and how would I do it to have one fader work as dimmer, one for the speed of a or all effects and one for the size of a or all effects. When I say a or all I mean change the speed and size for a specific effect or set it up so it changes the speed and size for all effects IF available. Thanks in advance Mil

Hi all, I put an effect in a cuestack. Can I control the speed of the effect while in playback? Thanks in advance. Mil

Thank you both very much I will try this later

Hi all, I recently got my hands on a FLX S48 2U. I installed the latest software update (7.9.7). I was playing with moving heads and movement effects. Most of these have a standard offset. My question is: can i change the offset. when I enable the effect the offset is to significant for most of my use cases but when I turn the offset encoder there is no offset at all. Is it possible to get something in between? Thank you in advance Mil
