We have recently purchased a TL Xtra and I have been using it anger for the first time this week setting up a show. I have come across a few niggles:
1) You can't use submasters to set up states in program mode. I know I posted about this before and you gave a solution but constantly toggling between play and program modes is tedious, especially as you have to reset the memory number each time before you record. It would be nice to be able to stay in program mode and record memory after memory in sequence. Is there any particular reason why subs couldn't be made available in program mode - they don't seem to have any other purpose assigned to them in this mode?
2) The Edit key doesn't seem to work as implied in the manual. If I am play mode and I hit the Edit key, make a change and hit the Edit key again it overwrites the next memory and not the current one (e.g. if current memory is 5 and next is 6 and you press Edit, adjust the levels and press edit again it will be memory 6 that gets updated with the changed version of memory 5).
The manual says -
"This button loads the currently selected item onto the outputs for editing. If it is a
chase, then the chase is run. When EDIT is active, the LED in the button is lit. To
save changes back to the original location, simply press the button again, and the
LED will go out."
Which would be much better than what actually happens.
3) You can't enter a title for a memory before it's programmed but as soon as you hit record you get stepped to the next memory. A small point but having to skip backwards to input the title for each memory you record gets irritating.
I should say that other than these points (and possibly the absence of blind editing and blind setting of fade times) I find the desk very easy to use and it does everything that we need of it.
