just installed 7.14.1 on my flx. Indeed ready in time for the next winter show. 😃 I sort of prepared the desk already for this show (only patch, groups, and some macro's/udk's/ special faders) in 7.14. The update seems successful, no problems at reloading the show . Next monday we start programming and rehearsals. Rig of 28 movers, 20 led batterns and 36 to 40 dimmers. Let's rock. 😁

Thanks Edward!

Thanks Edward! For your ultra fast answer. And indeed, the trick was to set the macro "slow" I recorded it already as you described, but didn't think of the 'slow' option. Of course this also opens the option of putting this command under a UDK I suppose. Great! In a week I'll start programming a show again on FLX, I am into making the switch back again to FLX now , after a few months working with the (dutch) National Theatre on their german brand......

Hi all, On my FLX I'm trying to make a macro which stops the 'speed override' from working. I find it very easy to use speed override when checking cues, and therefore I put it under a playback fader also. But to avoid accidents I would like to record a macro which stops the override. Like pushing the override wheel in the Z screen . Then I would program the macro in one of the first cues of a show, and voila, no speed accidents . The way of recording a macro by recording the button strokes doesn't seem to work. (on the wheels?) I discovered this idea on a tour now, using an MA2 (provided by the theatre company) Would be very nice to have this possibility on a FLX......

Thanks Edward ! Looks like 7.14 will be a nice update anyway! I'm running a show now on flx, so maybe I won't try the beta now, but asap. best regards!

At the moment I am in a setup triggering cues by midi from qlab. They need to go spot on with sounds. Right now these cues are in my playback 0 as this is the playback I run the rest of the show on (manually) . I discovered putting these cues in another playback only works if this playback is viewed.....which is quite annoying. I tried to figure out making an macro which changes playback views, but didn't succeed. Is there a way of doing this? (it doesn't record the holded "view"key when recording the macro) If this would be possible it would be very nice. And easy.

Hi Eric. Till now I didn't use the nodes extensivly, in a large venue. The way I will use them will vary, I wanted an flexible solution to extend my universes, (locally) and also want to be able to use them on longer distances instead of using multiple dmx-lines on a long distance. For both the way of configuring is very easy, the showtec can be configured on the node itself and via a browser, the lightshark only via browser. Both is very easy. Both have external powersupply, Via adapter. showtec 12V and Lightshark usb 5.0 V . The Lightshark can be powered via PoE if you want, the showtec i'm not sure. I tested both directly connected to the desk, and via a 19"switch. All worked well. I used the SaCN protocol. My own projector-kit involves Clay Paky's and Elations,and some ADJ pro. (and dimmers of course, zero88, liteputer, and TTL) ) if I need to rent it is often CLF and Rogue. I do not own or have used any Lyre Led till now. So far for now, I will keep you informed if I notice anything of interest to share. greetings! Ed PS you're from belgium , so if you speak/write flemish we could PM in dutch if you want.

Test. Tried to post a message elsewhere, (test & beta) didn't work.

Running 7.13 on all 3 consoles now. No problems till now, once had to use the onboard editor: Great!! and easy. Thanks for that! No worries anymore if I enter an Venue with fixtures unknown to the library. Last week I puchased two Artnet-Sacn nodes. They seem to work flawlessly too. (I use Sacn) one Showtec 2/3 pocket, and one Lightshark LS-Node4. So only good news from here.

I tried to post this earlier , but due to the recent forumproblems I'll do it now: Used and tested by me are a 22" Iiyama, a 13" Beetronics, (or a cheaper chinese version of them) and recently a Waveshare 15,6" portable multi touch screen. I found the 22" a bit large in theatrevenues where the tech seats are in the audience, specially combined with my Solution, which itself is quite high staying in its flightcase. After purchasing a FLX I needed a third screen and started looking for something not too small, but modest, and found this 15'6" Waveshare screen. Works very smooth, well-defined touch. And for a portable nice: it has the standard 100x100 Vesa-mount holes. So easy to put on a higher stand. So two more brands you could probably add to the list: Beetronics and Waveshare. Both brands require no drivers and work with Zeros.

Thanks for your info! I did not have anything in a hurry, so i didn't send any mails for inquiery about the forum problems. Now I understand, and of course many thanks for solving these. Kind regards !!

Not yet, I'll try this. later today I can send you some screenshots of what is happening

thanks!! that'll do the job 😃

Same (stupid?) question for the Solution. Where to find it? Glance through the manual does not help till now...

Just did, it didn't do the job. For now, I do not use the desks together on the same network.
