Hi everybody, I'd like to ask you some questions about how to work with playback- faders on an ORB XF: How can I assign a specific cue stack to a playback fader of my choice (of course only on of the button 20) For example if I want to have cue stack 201 on fader 1 and cue stack 43 on fader 2 (and so on). Or is it only possible to have cue stacks 1-20 on those faders? 2nd question: How can I delete/ unassign a stack from a fader again 3rd Question: How can I "Stop" a cue stack of a specific fader (I mean really "stop" and not just pause. BTW: how do I pause a stack on a fader 😀) 4th Question: Can those faders have different functions (like cross fade between cues) or is it only possible to have them as master fader for the stack? I guess so far that's it for the start 😉 Thank you in advance for your answers. Best regards Sven

Ok - I'm looking forward for it and will keep cross fingers for the next events 😉 And I will baish the "help" button from the desk 😜 Best regards Sven

Hi Jon, I didn't have an event since then, so no: No problems so far. Since the desk was completely frozen (meaning really nothing was reacting on anything), I guess ZerOS wasn't able to offer me something at this point in time. After reboot it also didn't offer something, but worked completely normal. The iPhone IP I really can't tell. I didn't note in as the freeze happened and if I will connect now, I'm pretty sure it won't receive the same Address again, because we have quite short lease- times configured. So you really suggest to use a static IP for your iPhones (or whatever remote- unit)? Seems quite unusual for a client- device to me (consoles are always static at our site). The network is not dedicated to the lighting stuff. It's also used for Sound remote control (not Sound data!) and some venue- stuff (like "crestron" or "gira"). But from my point of view, I can't see why this should have been caused by network. a ) there was no remote unit connected to the desk and b ) the very same network worked for years now without any issue. Only difference was switching from Leapfrog to ORB XF. Is there running any "logging" on the console that maybe could be exported manually, that could help investigate (since the core is a linux- derivative, maybe some dmesg, messages or something like that)? Since I'm coming from IT- world, I know it's hard to investigate an issue without data but unfortunately I can't deliver anything more :-( Best regards Sven

Hi Jon, No, I didn't try to recreate the issue with connected iphone, because there wasn't one connected while the desk stopped working. But this is the network configuration: Desk: 192.168.178.37/24 (static IP) Router: 192.168.178.1/24 (static IP) iPhone: can't tell because of DHCP But I can tell, that in all our test before we never faced an issue with remote- control. Best regards Sven

Hi Jon, that was the configuration: 1 DMX Universe 1 USB Keyboard 2 Elo 1915l Touchscreens Ethernet Connection for remote control (iphone) No additional devices beside those Best regards Sven

Hi, at our venue, we recently received a new ORB XF (previously we ran a Leap Frog 96). Yesterday we had our first event with it. It was a very tiny event with just a couple of dimmer channels on some submasters - so no really "hard work" for any console. But in the middle of the event, I clicked the "help" button to look after some topics, scrolled a bit up and down in the index and suddenly the whole desk was completely frozen! I wasn't able to do anything with the Desk. Everything "looked" fine, so all screens were still there and (thank God) all DMX were still given out, but I couldn't do anything with it. I couldn't click on anything (either with touchscreen nor with trackball), fader movements on the submasters didn't change anything on the DMX output, and even the clock stopped ticking. I tried to reach the desk from outside with iphone and ipad, but there was no connection possible anymore. At the end of the show I switched the desk off and on again and everything worked completely fine again. Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce the issue. Does anybody have an idea for that? In near future we ill have a series of large events and I'm really afraid for them, now. regarding to "System info", I'm running OS Version 7.8.1.2 28/3/2014 LNX and Software Version 7.8.2.4 Best regards Sven

Hi Jon, thank you very much! Kind regards Sven

Hi Jon, I'd like to ask, if you meanwhile where able to build the File for the Robin DLX? It would help me a lot, too ;-) Kind regards Sven

Hi Peter, thank you for that hint! That was the information, I was missing ;-) It works perfekt, now! Kind regards Sven

Hello everybody, I have a problem with saving things to Palettes. I don't know, if it is a problem with phantom only, because I don't have the Leap Frog here, at the moment. Here is, what I tried: - Select a Fixture (I tried with a MAC 250 Entour) - change the Pan/Tilt Position with the Encoders (Programmer and DMX output show the right behavior) - Select the Position MFKs - Press and hold a free MFK for some seconds - clear the programmer After those steps, I can't use the stored Position. It even looks wrong on the Palettes Screen on my Monitor. the default Position, which is available looks like 1 P [Home Position] and is marked as "Available" The new "Button" looks like 2 Position 2 and is marked as "Not Available" So it even don't recognize the right Attribute :-( Could anybody tell me, what 'm doing wrong? Kind regards Sven

OK - but fun times aside, now . Is there any difference between the the "solution" and the "leap frog" (except the color)?

cool - I love black colored desks more than green ones

Sorry for the stupid question: I can't see a diferent between the new "solution Series" and the "Leap Frog" series. Could anybody give me a hint? Kind regards Sven

Hi@all, I'm realy, realy, realy sorry, but I have to ask again: Is there anythin new about my problem? Kind regards Sven Kempf

Hi Jon, I have sent it on August, 16th. But I tried to send it again right now, so that you should have it in your Mailbox now. If not, please let me know! Thx for your help! Kind regards Sven

Hello@all, does anybody know something new about this? It's getting realy ergent for me. Will there be a fix to the library editor? Or am I the only one with this problem? Kind regards Sven

Hello Jon, I'd like to ask you, if my email arrived and if you were able to use them to build a new fixture out of it? Kind regards Sven

!

Hi Jon, that sounds verry interessting for me. Unfortunatly, I can't find, what you descrieb on my iPad remot. Could you please give me a hint, where to find the MFKs on the remote? Or did you mean to use the MFKs on the "virtual console" of the remote and user the MFKs, as you would on the physical console? That would be verry hard to use, because of these very, very tiny buttons (specialy on a remote for the leat frog 96) Perhaps you could describe ir for dummys, again Kind regards Sven

Hello@all, In my Opinion, it would be very, very, very (... ) useful to be able to zoom into the desk view. I plan to use the Ipad as a remote for the Leap Frog 96 and that is hardly to use, because this is a verry wide desk! Kind regards Sven

Hello Franck, that was the first thing I tried Unfortunatly, the Robin 300 Spot Classic isn't in there The only "Robins 300" in there are the "Plasma" and the "300E". But those are color-mixers and the 300 spot clasic I have only have a color wheel. Regards Sven

Hello@all! In a few weeks, I will have to do a show with 4 ROBE Robin 300 Spot Classic on a Leap Frog 96. Ans because I didn't find any library for this lamp, I decidet to build it on my own (for the first time ever). I luckiely get up everythin running - except the Macros! This is what happens: I press "add Macro". I Name it "Lamp On" (for example). I press "Add step", choose "Set Channel Level" on Channel "Lmp/Res" and set it on Level 135. Then I add a second step with "Wait" and 6000 ms. Now the problem: In "Edit Macro" I can see theese 2 steps. But as I press "OK", I only see the name of the macro and "0" Commands behind it in the "Macros" tab :-( The second problem is, that the Editor does'nt store the Stage Data to this fixture. I can edit it and everything looks fin - but after I save it, close the editor and load it again - there is "no Stage Data" again :-( I'm using the Editor in Version 0.0.12.120 (which was a download link on the orb FX to Version 3.5, because I wanted to insert the jpgs of the gobos to the fixture). I hope enybody can help me with that. Kind regards! Sven
