Just a quick update on this issue. It seems to have resolved itself. I'm not sure how, but when I went to collect some showfiles to email over the other day everything now seems to be loading correctly without duplicate fixtures. If it re-occurs I will try and grab the affected showfiles to send over.

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me. I'll try and get over to the venue and grab some show files to send over at some point this week. Yes, this is correct. The desk was installed to replace a Jester, along with the 4 LED spots and a single PAR in June 2022, and worked perfectly fine up until last month.

Hello, I am the technical manager at the ADC Theatre in Cambridge, I oversee both the main house and a smaller "fringe" style space. I have an FLX S48 as the house desk in the smaller space. It controls a rig of: one 12 channel chilli dimmer pack, 4x ETC ColorSource Spot Jr.s (deep blue), 2x ETC ColorSource PARs (deep blue), and a single channel dimmer for house lights. The Chilli dimmer and ColorSources all support RDM, the single channel dimmer does not. All DMX lines are terminated and there are no passive splits anywhere. I have just updated to ZerOS 7.14 from 7.13, although this has not resolved the issue I'm having. Recently, the desk has started re-patching and re-addressing all connected fixtures when loading a showfile, leaving the existing channels unpatched. For example, the patch should be DMX 1 - 12 dimmers, then LED units on 51, 57, 63, 69, 75 and 80, then the single channel dimmer on 86. When loading a showfile with an existing patch, or creating a new showfile, it's re-patching the dimmers to DMX 13, then randomly assigning addresses to the LED units and assigning them to a new set of desk channels. The FLX has worked just fine for over a year with RigSync enabled and kept the patch between shows loading in. The only thing that has recently changed was I added a second ColorSouce PAR to the rig in August. Since Rig Sync on/off is stored per-showfile, I can't solve this by disabling rig sync and setting the patch manually, because as soon as someone loads a showfile with rig sync enabled the patch gets messed up again. Is this a known bug, or is there a fix for this? Thanks, Alex
