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.

My very bad, of course. didn't click it............

It seems since my upgrade to 7.13 the "programmer time" function doesn't work anymore? it keeps 'snapping' instead of using the amount of time I put on the wheel. Both on FLXS as on the Solution. Tomorrow I 'll start pre-programming a tour, which should really be up and running coming saturday. (last minute job) I guess I will be correcting and busking at least the first show. Would be very nice if the programmer time works.

I just connected the FLXS . works fine. Also running 7.13 (the same version as on the Solution)

Hi Edward, I do not see these options. I connect via ethernet, on a windows 10 laptop. Which setup worked flawlessly with my FLXS . (before I installed the last version of Zeros monitor it did) I have to check if it still works now. I hope I have time for this today.

Thank you. Not at the desk at the moment, (and the rest of the day) I guess it's the latest version . I downloaded it together with 7.13 lately. The desk runs 7.13.

Hi all, It seems Zeros monitor doesn't work on my Solution. I can connect to the desk, after that I get the black Zeros screen, but it doesn't give me the option menu which screen to show. Any idea's?

Thanks! Yes of course this is the way of doing it now. I was just curious, because it would be a very fast and convenient way of changing values fast in more than one cue.

Thank for your answer! I am really looking forward to this!!

Ah, yes I have seen this option. Thanks for your answer as always ! As I understand there is no way of selecting cues (for example cue 5 , 17, 21 , 45 ) and changing one value in those?

Hi all, is there any idea about the adding of OSC-functionality? (via network) am really waiting for this. right now I am still forced to use a laptop with lighting software with every show I need this. Despite having two zero88 lighting desks running the newest software..........all very nice , but I think osc functionality is nowadays sort of basic need....... I am doing quite a lot of (smaller) shows which would fit a FLXS perfectly, but I can not use it, because of this lack of OSC functionality. It is really a pity I have to solve this by using a laptop for lighting.....
