Master Playback

Recommended Posts

Am trying to use the master playback as a up and down fader. Eg fade the light bup and down for a particular cue.

In settings the htp master fades the lights down the triggers the next cue and fades the lights up. 

Fade 1 way triggers next cue down and next cue up. 

Fade 2 ways fades the cue but the go button doesn't work. Have rebooted desk several times but doesn't make any difference. Anyone have an answer to my problem

Hi Peter,

When a playback's fader function is set the Manual Fade, rather than HTP Master, this means the playback's fader can be used to advance through your cues, rather than your go button. For more information, please see the link below...

In a future update, the Go button will also be available in the Manual Fade functions. This feature is logged as reference number ZOS-5803 on our software tracking system.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Yeah but in 2 way mode the cue won't change. Before the last update I could fade without the cue changing and the go button changing the cue. Say for tab calls at the end of a show. Instead of programming 4 or 5 cues up and down. I have come to the last cue in the stack and then use the master fader to operate how many calls I need. Oh and the desk crashes so I have to reboot. Hope that all makes sense. Congrats on your Marriage. Hope you and your wife are both Happy

Manual Fade 1-way and Manual Fade 2-way options disable the Go button. If you would like to be able to lower a playback's fader, and remain in the current cue, you can use the default "HTP Master" Fader Function, but disable the "Release on Lower" option. To do this, hold SETUP and tap the playback's button to access the Playback Settings. From the top choose Raise & Lower, and then disable Release On Lower, and click OK.

Sorry to hear that. Would you be able to confirm the software version currently running on your console? You can find the current software version by tapping the Z/Shift key, and choosing System Information from the touchscreen. In the window that opens will be a line of text displaying the "Software Version". Currently the latest software for FLX S consoles is ZerOS 7.9.9.5, which is available to download from the link below...
