Yeah - we found almost all customers were using USB lights on their consoles anyway, and as FLX has USB ports all over it, that's what we went for. We've also done a lot of testing on the USB ports, to ensure they can all be completely fully loaded in all sorts of very high and very low temperatures without any issues. If anything tries to pull dramatically too much power, FLX will just cut off that USB port temporarily until the device is unplugged.

Be careful of purchasing the cheaper cables. Have a look at this for more info: http://www.arvydas.co.uk/2013/07/cheap-usb-midi-cable-some-self-assembly-may-be-required/ We've found these cables often work with MIDI TimeCode (MTC) and MIDI Notes, but not with MIDI Show Control (MSC)

Serves me right for trying to answer questions on consoles before my time at Zero! Apologies, looks like kgallen is correct - virtual intensities were added in 10.10

That's correct Ian :-) Definitely - hopefully there will be a four channel mode (or mode) that includes a dimmer channel. Let us know if there is (along with the make and model, or even better a user manual) and we'll get it created for you if it's not already in the library.

Hi, The only way to do this on the Jester 24/48 would be as you described. If you choose the slow chase open (and manually pressing GO at the end), I'd probably record the same last step several times, so the last step stays active for longer. This would mean I have more time to press the GO button without worrying that the chase will start again. On our ML versions of the Jester there are "auto followons" which would do exactly what you want, but unfortunately these aren't available on the standard Jester consoles. All the best Jon

Zero 88 Fixture Library Release 30 For full information, please visit: http://zero88.com/software/library This release contains 4604 fixtures from 241 different manufacturers. For a list of fixtures in the library please click here. The library is released in 2 formats: a full unfiltered version for desks running ZerOS software (ORB Series, Solution series, FLX, Frog 2 and Leap Frog 48 & 96). a smaller filtered version for other Zero 88 desks. This removes data that is not used by these other desks, so that the file is smaller. When using a floppy disk (original Frog series, Illusion500) it is recommended that the floppy disk be freshly formatted before using it. Download & Installation The correct format of the library for your desk can be downloaded by clicking the product name below. The library (.ift file) should be placed in the root directory of the floppy disk or USB stick. ZerOS desks (ORB Series, Solution series, FLX, Frog 2 and Leap Frog 48 & 96) The latest fixture library is automatically installed on the desk as part of each operating software update, however this can be updated from USB if required in Setup -> Files -> Update Fixture File. JesterML & JesterTL The fixture library is installed on the desk at manufacture, however this can be updated from USB if required in Setup -> Update Fixture Lib -> Update Library. Frog Series and Illusion 500 Use 'Common Fixture Manager' (included in the Fixture Tools download) to select the fixtures you wish to use, and save this as a file to a floppy disk. Diablo The fixture library is used with the Diablo Fixture Manager PC software. Sirius 250/500 Use the Fixture Type Editor to import fixture types from the fixture library, and then use the ‘Export Sirius UFT’ function (under the ‘File’ menu) to generate data in the correct format for the Sirius 250/500. Further details of assigning fixtures on the desk to fixture types in the fixture library can be found in each desk’s operating manual. Additional Fixtures If you need a fixture type which is not in the library, then you can create this yourself using the Fixture Type Editor. If you post a link to the manufacturers datasheet on the forum, we will endeavour to add the fixture in the next library release.

Please find the fixture attached in 4, 5 and 7 channel modes. Miltec MTC-Batten2.ift For 72 channel mode, we suggest you patch 18 of the 4 channel fixtures, which gives you simpler overall control, and lets you run effects over the units much more easily

Hi Jon, Here's the profile for you, in both modes. Visage VIS0484 1.ift All the best,

Hi TMAC Tech, Please can you link us to the manual so we can make this profile for you please? Jon

Hi Carwyn, I guess you mean 7.8.2.4? Have you had any more issues with the console after you said it had been stable since the power cycle? Please can you email me the serial number of the console (don't post it publicly) so we can have a look into this further for you. All the best Jon

Hi Sven, Please could you send us the profile you've made? We can have a look at it then, and let you know what needs changing :-) Jon

Please could you confirm which version, by going to the Output Window, choosing "Other Windows" and then choosing "System Information". Thanks

Hi Luke, Make sure the programmer is empty - you do this by pressing "CLEAR" twice. The programmer "always wins", and so if there's a load of "0%" under all the channels (which will be shown in red) then this might be the cause. This often happens when programming from channel faders, as once you're finished recording you pull all the channels to 0% - putting lots of "0%" info into the programmer which need to be cleared before playback. Jon

Thanks. What software is the console running?

Hi Carwyn, What version of software are you running on the console? What's plugged into it (how many universes of DMX? Monitor? Network? USB? etc etc)

Hi Tbeunders, Please could you take a photo of the error you're seeing and either post it here, or email it to me (my address is in my signature below). Thanks Jon

The DMX fixture profile would be a simple three channels - Red, Green and Blue. We'd then add a "Virtual Dimmer" which would scale these three channels when using the grandmaster, blackout etc. We have this profile already in our library. When you pick a manufacture, choose "Standard Fixtures" at the top of the list, and then choose "RGB Dimmer" in the next menu. Happy to go through this in a little more information if you need it, just let me know which console you are using first.

Hi James, When enabled, the Sound Input will always take priority over the speed. However, it should only work if the console's receiving a sound signal, so if there's no sound coming into the console, the chase will run at whatever speed has been programmed. This is probably the easiest solution for you - mute the sound coming into the console and only unmute it when you want it. Jon

Did you try both MBR Images A and B?

Hi Ovidijus, "Submaster controls" allows you to directly control the attributes with the position of the fader, which is great for flyouts like this, but it doesn't currently trigger or control each cue of the playback separately - we just use the current cue of that playback. I've added your request as ZOS-6522, so this can be discussed and prioritise - as with all requests, the more people who ask for it, the higher priority it becomes!

Can you try following these instructions please: http://zero88.com/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/489/ Thanks

Hi David, Just to confirm, by "LCD 3", are we talking about the one above the wheels? Do you see vertical lines splitting it up into "smaller displays", or is it completely blank?

What error are you seeing? Are you an admin of the computer you're using?

Yep. You'll probably find the router was 192.168.1.1, so there were collisions there. Changing the desk to .2 probably solved this.

Hi Phil, What's the IP address of the console, and the IP address of your phone/tablet? Cheers Jon
