Effect continuing through the show NEWBIE

[Geoffc]

Hi, I work in a school, 

Someone knew the lighting console and they have now left,  I have stumbled around the FLX s48 and managed to program a show into the master playback.( Phew ) 

I added an effect into a cue ( cue 20 ) but after that all of the following cues have that effect 

I do not know enough about the console to play around and I am concerned with ruining the show set up even more.

we have a tech rehearsal tonight, and I am a bit concerned.

Help !

Many thanks in advance

Hi @Geoffc

Welcome to the forum.

Firstly, I'd recommend saving a copy of the console's current show file to a USB drive. That way, if you make any incorrect changes, you can then simply load in your previous show file from the USB drive. Please click the link below for information on saving show files...

The effect therefore needs to stop in cue 21. Please follow this process to stop the effect:

1. Go into cue 21, so that it is live and outputting (green row in the Cues window)
2. Double tap CLEAR
3. Select the fixtures running the effect. For example by using the buttons below the fixture's channel faders.
4. Tap the "Effect" tab at the top of the internal touchscreen, and choose [No Effect]. The effect should stop.
5. Then press-and-hold UPDATE, and you should see the Update Options appear on the internal touchscreen.
6. In the Update Options, ensure that the SmartTag button is disabled, indicated with a blue stripe. If it has a red stripe, tap it to disable.
   1. If you cannot see a SmartTag button in this window, please see this link for more information - https://www.zero88.com/manuals/zeros/cues-playbacks/record-options
7. Ensure that "Track Forwards" has a red stripe, rather than "Cue Only".
   1. With Track Forwards selected, you will send your "No Effect" instruction down through subsequent cues, therefore stopping the effect from running in those cues.
8. Tap your Master Playback's GO button to complete the process.
9. Then, press-and-hold RECORD, to open the Record Options on the internal touchscreen. Tap "SmartTag" and "Cue Only" again, to re-enable them (red stripe), and the console will then be back in the default programming behaviour. Tap RECORD again to save and close.

 

I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any questions.
