Installed and working fine, we have already used the new effects for 'Ultrabeat' in concert over the weekend. 

The 'Warning' effect, with or without offsets works great over our chases on the sunstrip blinders for high energy numbers.    

Keep up the good work.

[Edward Z88]

Hi Peachy,

That's great to hear. If you have any queries just let me know.

All the best,

Edward

Steaming ACN and Artnet no longer works. I have only tried on phantom with my unlock dongle and will try on the console later this week,  when i downgrade to Zeros 7.9.4 it works fine again.

this is rendering the phantom and unlock dongle useless as i cant control my fixtues i hope it is not the same story for the console.

i did highlight the problem in the beta group, I asume the fix never made it to the release.

cheers

Hi Peachy,

How have you got your unstraps set up ? As a 10 channel set of dimmers or in 10 channel DMX mode ? 

 

thanks

Me too. Can't upgrade to get the new fx as Artnet isn't working.

Hello,

 

Glad to see that new version is here.

 

Questions :

What news on for FLX ?

 

I will finish my seasons and going on this new version on middle July. 

For a actual manual, have you news ? 

The last manual I find was for 7.9.1.... And some things are different between 7.9.1 and 7.9.4

 

Thank a lot

Hi Simon,

To confirm, are you finding Art-Net isn't working on your physical console?

Art-Net is working on physical consoles running ZerOS 7.9.5, however not on Phantom ZerOS with an unlock dongle.

Hi Edward,

Hi Simon,

Art-Net does seem to be working correctly in ZerOS 7.9.5. After loading in your show file with Art-Net transmitting, have you disabled and then enabled Art-Net again?

If this problem is persisting please email your ZerOS 7.9.5 show file that isn’t working, along with a brief description of your network to support@zero88.com, and we’ll be able to investigate your issue further. 

Any queries just let us know.

Hi Martin,

We've got each Sunstrip setup in 10 channel DMX mode.  I find if you create a chase and record it to a playback then use an effect like 'Warning' over the running chase, it gives you a better eye catching effect. 

Fingers cross this will become easier when Zero88 release ZerOS with pixel mapping.

Yep it certainly will be easier with pixel mapping. This software is still in alpha stage currently.

Hi Edward,

I tried installing 7.9.5 and the same occurred. I have a link showing on my Artnet node but no activity. I set up a simple patch with my 15 LED PARS on universes 1 and 2 just to see but nothing shows up in the system info network page unlike 7.9.4 where it shows the streaming info.

I've attached my file to see if I'm doing anything wrong. I've plugged the desk direct to the Artnet node bypassing my network.

Mark off effect has gone, will it be back? I know mark on has been renamed but mark off has gone completely.

[Afx]

• Can I get release time on Flash from somewhere? Its something im used to using on previous desks. 

[marcopolo]

Sorry posting again here - I seem to have lost all effects. The macro does nothing. The drop down menu with sine waves etc has nothing in it.

Going to need this pretty soon!! I only upgraded forthe new effects and now I have none at all. LOL
