Ho Tommyb, I'm guessing you are selecting 'Update Fixture File'? You need to select 'Load User Fixtures' instead. Hope this helps?

Hi Orkney Boy, Please find the fixture file you are looking for attached. This will work on all Zero 88 consoles that have moving light support built in. Hope this helps Phantom 575 Pro EB.ift

well spotted! Created as issue ZOS-3190. Thanks for pointing these out Piero.

Hi Jim, It's really easy! A few hints and tips: After patching your fixtures, click 'Auto Menus' in Setup > Patch and click all three options in turn (Create Auto Groups, Palettes and Macros). This will help you get started. Now, come out of SETUP. If it's not already, press VIEW 0 ENTER. This will open View '0' which is a default view. You should see Colour, Beamshape, Possition and Group palette windows on one of your monitors - with all the automatically created palettes that the desk made when you clicked Auto Menus. Pressing SHIFT + EFFECT will open the effetcs window, with all the defualt effects in there. When you select your moving head, all the effects available to that fixture will be highlighted. You can then activate an effect by clicking it, or typing 'EFFECT X ENTER'. Pressing the 'EFFECT' button allows you to change the Size, Speed and Offset on the encoder wheels. Get the effect looking how you want, and then just program that into your cue like you would program anything else. To stop the effect, change the size to '0'. A '0' size effect is equivalent to not having an effect at all. To go even further and create your own effect from scratch, you can click 'Effects Window' in the top left of the Effects Palette. Select the moving heads and you will see all their parameters list down the left hand side. I hope this gets you started ok?

We've just released ZerOS 6.0.0 and updated our twitter profile, and so I thought I'd take this opportunity to remind you of our twitter feed. @orbdesk gives you updates on the ORB and ORB XF, and helpful software tips and tricks - many that will help customers using other ZerOS consoles like the Leap Frog 48&96 and Frog 2. Currently, we are going through the new features of ZerOS 6.0.0. Please follow us, and send us a message letting us know how you are getting on with your console and the new ZerOS release.

I've added the 'updating UDK' bug as issue ZOS-3188 and the 'Updating cues in stacks >1' bug as issue ZOS-3189. Thank you for alerting us to these.

Yep - you can do this. You just need to change the chase drive to 'beat' instead of 'auto' and then the desk will learn the speed you tap the button at, instead of using the BPM speed.

Ahhh I see - we'll look at this tomorrow when I'm back in the office. You can press UPDATE and then press the actual UDK and this is accepted in the command line. Many thanks for taking the time to post the screenshot.

Sorry, I didn't realise I was still using a beta of Phantom. However, I have upgraded to 6.0.0 and this still works fine. Here is a screenshot of Monitor 1 while updating a UDK.

Hi Adam, We provide the tools so you can make this yourself. There are available on the downloads section of the support site, here are the direct links to them: Fixture Tools (.zip) Fixture Editor User Guide (.pdf) If you get stuck just let us know :-)

Attached is what I see when I update a UDK... is it the same?

I can't replicate this problem, sorry. If you have time, if you could take a photo and either email it to me or attach it in a reply to this thread, it would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks,

Hi Piero, What is not working in the Update Window? In all our tests this has been working fine. Many Thanks

A full list of changes together with bug fixes are available in the Release notes.

Do you mean the DMX run in your venue? Easiest way is to plug something in, patch it to the desk and see if it works! Alternatively, as long as this doesn't go through any splitters or mergers etc in the system, you could connect two pins together on one end of the connection (using a bit of wire / paper clip etc) and then use a continuity checker to see if there is continuity between those same two pins on the other end of the run.

We've tested it on both old and new hardware for the Frog 2. An update to the ZerOS remote app is currently going through Apple's app submission process. This same app will now give you the additional iPad remote desktop features. And chw, you can still set a chase to accept a manual 'beat' that the desk will then learn, by double clicking in the comments column and changing the options in there.

Hi Thom, Sorry - I don't quite understand what you mean? Could you describe this further? Many Thanks

See http://support.zero88.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5904&view=findpost&p=23701

Hi Thom, You sure can create your own. There is software available to download on our website: Click here for Fixture Tools (direct .exe download) Click here for Instructions (direct .pdf download). If you need any further help creating the fixtures, please do not hesitate to get in touch!

Hi Carl, I'll be uploading information in the next few hours, and the software is already available online - click here. (The software is the same release for ORB, Leap Frog 48 + 96, and Frog 2). Hope this helps,

Hi Elliot, We do not discuss hidden features such as this, sorry.

Miarrobino, It's doubtful you will get a reply from someone who can help in this forum - all our fixture profiles wil only work on Zero 88 consoles.

Hi Torsten, Could you email me the show file please? My email is in my signature below. Many Thanks
