    Effects Speed BPM

    Hi Guys, I am just inquiring about the possibility of syncing effects speed to BMP on the FLX rather than a seemingly arbitrary number between 0 and 100. This is for an upcoming event that is 80% music at least as far as my job is concerned all of which is to a backing track with known bpms. It would really make the effects engine SO MUCH more powerful and is a standard feature on other manufacturers desks such as Chamsys and Avolites. Programming chases is such a pain when the same thing can be achieved in a fraction of the time with the effects engine (and is editable on the fly). It is very tiring having to try to find the effects speed that roughly correlates to the correct bpm and never getting it quite right. As the effects engine runs on a waveform generator presumably each speed number correlates to a specific number of Hz so the calculation from there to bpm should be pretty simple. 1. In the longer term, please can this development to prioritised for a future Zeros release as it would be so useful. 2. For the show I have coming please can I have the number of Hz that the different effect speed 'numbers' correlate to. E.g. 1, 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100. From there it is pretty easy to work out the BPM for each song. Thanks!
  2. Great. Thanks Edward. Very useful. Also, one comment on the keyboard mapping. It seems very odd to me that the thru function is mapped to > rather than / The point of the numeric keypad is to type commands quickly and efficiently (and with one hand). When selecting fixtures thru is a regularly used command and the / key is on every standard USB numeric keypad but it is currently unassigned on ZerOS. Instead of using the / key and keeping my hand in the same position users have use both hands and change position on the keyboard. It's a bit clunky when the is a much better alternative easily to hand. Or if / is needed for something then use \ which is nearby and doesn't need the shift key or t which is still logic semantically and also doesn't need the shift key either. Thanks, Tim
  3. Hi Edward, I am also looking for the list of keyboard shortcuts but the link you posted isn't working anymore and I can't seem to find them elsewhere. Please can you repost. Thanks! Tim
