Operate FLX with footswitch

[Tapani]

 

Good evening

I have to operate my FLX console with a footswitch connected to the remote interface. In this case, the desk should switch to the next lighting mood, analogous to the Go button.

How can I program this under firmware 7.5.x?

Hello,

For this, you can program a macro of the Go button being pressed. The Remote switch can then trigger this macro, which will simply emulate a go button press. 

To so this, tap RECORD -> MACRO, and choose an empty macro. Then choose Keys. Tap GO, and then tap MACRO to stop recording. Now tap SETUP -> Triggers, and configure your chosen remote switch to trigger this macro, rather than a go to cue.

Just so you’re aware, the latest software for FLX is ZerOS 7.9.6, which can be downloaded here...

Hope this helps, if you have any questions let me know.

Tap an empty Macro number on the internal touchscreen.

I‘ve found the problem.

First I have to set „Setup - Settings - Record and Update to„when held“ , then the macro-screen appears.

That was the problem, now it works fine!

 

Thanks for your help

Great, glad to hear it. If you choose the Record and Update window to be “External”, it will also open internally when held.

If you have any questions let us know.
