Just noticed this under Missing Fixtures in the manual

If you are unable to use the Fixture Editor software, we are pleased to inform you that fixture creation will now be outsourced to our fixture database provider. This change is aimed at enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of our fixture management process.

Please note that this service will now be chargeable.

 

Didn't see any news about that. Thought I should bring it to the everyone's attention.

Wow...

The fixture editor is Ok for quick personalities but isn't GDTF nor easy to create multicell profiles.

Zero88 Sirus, Alcora, Frog, Solution and FLX consoles have been at the forefront of the theatres and village halls that I've worked in over the past 35 years so am wondering if there's any direction for future Vari-lite theatre lighting consoles?

 The market needs rejuvinating with a new console to superceed the FLX or I can see venues moving to other lighting consoles with enhanced capeabilities and free personalities 😐

The answer to that lies in this forum over the last few months. As a 30 year user/buyer myself, it’s spelled out in big fat letters. It’s the end of the line folks I’m afraid, they’re not interested.

Jon managed to get in a last gasp with ZerOS 8 before he left. That will be the last, I’m sure of it. Zero88 and its beloved products and employees are no more.
