Other questions about FLX

[mattyiench]

Hi,

I'm using the FLX desk on V7.8.5,

I'm looking for some tips...

 

-Is there a function "move" (preset or playback) hide somewhere? actually I'm using "copy" to do that with the playbacks but it's quite boring with presets...

-When update or merge a preset, this one lose its name.. Is there a way to keep it without writing again after update?

-Can you remind me the highlight function with UDK, i didn't find it yet on the forum..

 

I'm using the FLX for more than six months, it's a nice, easy and powerful desk, i will be glad to have all this tips;-)

 

Sorry for my english.

 

Matt.

Hi Matt,

 

It's worth upgrading to 7.9.1 software as I know there have been quite a few enhancements to move/copy functionality since 7.8.5.

 

When you say "preset" do you mean a cue on a playback?

 

Is this enough information from the user manual (http://www.zero88.com/manuals/flx-user-manual-version-1.pdf) to get you going with Highlight?

 

Regards,

Kevin

 

Assigning advanced functions to a UDK

A UDK can be assign an advanced function to a UDK. These functions include Park, Highlight, Rem Dim, etc. These functions are detailed elsewhere in the manual.

To assign one of these functions to a UDK, first make sure the UDK is blank (using the delete command listed below) and then hold down Setup and press one of the UDKs.

This will open a window on the internal display where the function you wish to use can be selected. The “normal” option is how the UDK will function when pressed normally, and the “Shifted” option has the same options, but is how the UDK will function when pressed whilst holding the Shift button.

A bit on these Forum entries, which refer to older software (probably 7.8.5) and show the intended use-model which should work in 7.9.1:

When i say "preset" that means "palette" actually.

Hi Matt,

 

I've reviewed the 7.9/7.9.1 Release Notes and I was over-confident in my original post regards move/copy changes in 7.9.1. However there are lots of updates and bug fixes in that release, so your issues may well have been addressed. If they haven't we should get them raised with Jon!

 

I often update color palette or group, the name editing before disappear

I can't say I've noticed this happening with 7.9 (although I've probably not done this often), but let me know if you have a specific example and I can try on my desk, or we can get the Zero88 folks to investigate.

 

I just tried on 7.9.1 PhantomZerOS: Created a group of ch1-6, named it, then updated for ch1-7 and my original name remained (and indeed the group did then also select ch1-7). Likewise I created a colour palette, named it, then changed and updated it. This seemed to work fine and the name remained, so hopefully the issues you are seeing on 7.8.5 are now fixed.

 

Regards,

Kevin
