Hi James, The line-level signal goes through various hardware filters and compression which then creates an electrical pulse, which triggers each step of the chase. Jon

Hi Massimo, What version of software are you running on the Leap Frog 48? Please let us know, and then we'll be able to help you further. All the best Jon

Added as ZOS-6476

Hi All, Please confirm which operating systems you are running. If you have access to a computer running Windows 7 (or before) please try this, and let me know if this works. We have developed a new installation method which involves simply dragging the file onto the USB stick rather than installing it. This doesn't only solve this problem, but means you don't have to be an administrator, and you don't have to be using Windows either. We're using this on FLX currently, and we plan to bring this over to all ZerOS consoles by the end of the year. However, to get that functionality to work on yor consoles, there will have to be a "normal" installation method too. All the best, Jon

Hi Jan, Sorry for my delay in replying, I've been away for a few weeks. I think you'll find this is solved in the latest software, so first of all please give that a try. If this doesn't solve the problem, please email me your showfile so we can investigate. Many thanks Jon

Hi James, Yes - the Jester as a sound input. There's more info on Page 31 and Page 56 of the manual http://zero88.com/manuals/jesterml%20manual%203.0.pdf

We're almost there - first half of september is the schedauled date

Added this as a comment onto ZOS-6105, which is an issue about integrating triggered playbacks more closly with the playback that triggered them (for example, making them "track" through, so if you jump around the cue stack, the playbacks correctly trigger and release etc).

There's already an issue scheduled for ZerOS 7.8.6 to do this when naming cues, so I've added a comment for this to work when naming fixtures within setup too. Issue reference: ZOS-6114

Zero 88 are pleased to announce the launch of ZerOS version 7.8.4 software - a new software release for FLX. This update is recommended for all users. More information can be found at http://zero88.com/software/zeros A full list of changes are available in the Release notes. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at the office. Our contact details are: email: support@zero88.com phone: +44 (0)1633 838088 Best Regards,

Hi both - thanks for reporting this, it should already be fixed in the latest software which we've just released - please give it a go and let us know. When you use "Save Show" inside the Z button, if the show hasn't saved yet, it will ask you to give it a name, if it's already been saved, it will automatically save it with an incrememnt on the end... so "Aladdin" will save as "Aladdin1", "Aladdin1" will sabe as "Aladdin2" etc etc

ZerOS 7.8.4 has now been publicly released on the Zero 88 website. Download is available here: zero88.com/software/zeros

Hi Paul, You can also create your own fixture library, and in the "details" you can add each frame, and give each one an RGB value. When you then create auto palettes, these will be populated in automatically. You can download the tools, including a PDF instructions sheet, from this link: http://zero88.com/support/index.php?/de/Knowledgebase/Article/View/49/0/zero-88-fixture-tools---version-26 I hope this helps, Jon

Installer, Phantom and draft Release Notes have been updated to 7.8.3.8. Includes a couple of bug fixes and a new option to trigger cues from the GO of the previous cue rather than just once the previous cue’s fade has completed. (Previously 7.8.3.7)

Installer, Phantom and draft Release Notes have been updated to 7.8.3.7. (Previously 7.8.3.5)

Installer and Phantom have been updated to 7.8.3.5. The Output Window now scrolls with the current channel page, and fixtures with values currently in the programmer are now always shown along the bottom of the Output Window. There's a couple of other bug fixes too. Updated release notes will be available soon. Ongoing thanks to all those providing us with feedback. (Previously 7.8.3.4)

No, you don't have to do that - there's an easy way to copy and paste: Select the cue (make sure the "No." column is selected, not the "step" column), and press EDIT. Go to the blank cue where you'd like to copy the chase to, and then press PROGRAM (red glowing button). That should copy and paste the cue where you'd like it to go. After pressing EDIT, you can also press ENTER 150 ENTER, which will jump you to cue 150 (whether programmed or empty) so you can paste it directly there rather than having to press the up / down keys several times. (This method works across submasters and cues too. I didn't mention it previously as I thought you wanted to add the chase on top of an already programmed static cue).

Hi Nodmaz, You need to record the chase directly into the cue, in exactly the same way as you record chases onto a submaster. So, record the first step into the cue, reselect the cue, and then record the second step, and choose <Create Chase>

So... I think some of us, including me, thought this day was never going to come, but today we have launched the first beta of the new ZerOS Apps for Android. As usual with any pre-release software builds, and especially the very first beta version of a new app, we do not recommend using it during live shows. You must be part of our Beta Test group to access the below link. If you would like to become part of the Beta Test group, please drop me an email (my address is in the signature at the bottom of this post). http://zero88.com/forum/topic/7227-zeros-apps-for-android-v1015/

Hi Foozle, This is because all seven colours are defaulted at full. I've changed this in our library, and attached the fixture here. Let me know if this solves your problem. Selador Desire Direct.ift All the best,

Hi, Here's the profile in 6 Channel and 4 Channel mode. LED ML-30 QCL.ift All the best Jon

Hi Sandy, We're currently testing software that allows you to scroll through lists by dragging your finger across the window (just like touch screen phones). This means the scroll bars aren't so important, so we've made them smaller and darker so they are less prominent. You can try it out here if you want, but please be aware that it's Beta Test software, which means you shouldn't use it in show-critical situations: http://zero88.com/forum/topic/7218-flx-software-open-beta/ Let me know if you think this removes the need for your request? If not, no problems - I'll add the request to our database!

Hi Enchancher, We release stability updates as-and-when we need to (very rare), but apart from that there are no software updates currently scheduled for the Jester range of consoles. Regards Jon

Hi Enchancher, We don't support MIDI Timecode on the Jester. We do, however, support MIDI Show Control. If you are using something like QLab, you can program it to send MIDI Show Control commands at specific points when you start playing a track. Hope this helps Jon

Installer, Phantom and draft Release Notes have been updated to 7.8.3.4. Scrollbars have now been darkened to make them less prominent, and the arrows at either end have been removed. Pressing “copy” now brings up a dialog box to allow copying cues with the currently viewed stack. Ongoing thanks to all those providing us with feedback. (Previously 7.8.3.3)
