Hi to all!
Primary and secondary console via ART-NET ,Why when joining the show ,the secondary pc Opens secondary Sidebar ,and not the same as the primary? it’s a bit weird to my opinion,can we avoid this and make it exactly open as the “Primary” console.
Thanx to all! = )

Otherwise I need to do again another operation and switche sidebars!

Hi @Giancarlo

I’m not able to replicate this on my system. This is the process I am using:

NX2 & ONYX PC both running ONYX 4.32.1292
Customise show file and Sidebar items on NX2
On PC, Join NX2’s show file via X-Net
Upon loading the show file, ONYX PC loads the Sidebar items from the Primary NX2 as expected

Please make sure your Primary and Secondary system are both in the same Workspace.

Hi Edward try this on 2 pc’s maybe it does it!
But if I am using ONYX on a “Primary” PC,and I Joined the show on the 2 “System” meanwhile I am doing something else,What I expect is seeing exactly the same Page , Active Cues , Active fader, Selected Groups, etc. I don’t think I have to check if all is at the same place,as in the Primary pc. To my opinion this should be something that happens automaticly ,to me it’s obvious ,or you think no?

Edward · February 12, 2025, 10:56am

Please send me the show file that is running on your primary system, and provide step-by-step instructions on how you are joining the show file on your secondary system.

Giancarlo · February 12, 2025, 12:16pm

Hi Edward, It’s the file you already have,Just pushed" Join" at the begining of Onyx in Load Options,on 2 PC .
Obviously I have previously verified all Artnet connections,“Used the Ping in CMD” no Firewall activated etc…

It would be a great feature to have a fanning option in the new fade / delay option menu

Giancarlo · February 14, 2025, 8:35am

Already asked for things like that something like 1thru 5 and other stuff already “Premade” as in the normal timing. = )

hello, the clear funktion like:

clear fixture 3 enter,

for example, does not work in this beta!

we can also not:

press clear, then select a fixture, to clear its value from the programmer

is this only our problem with the new beta?
thx.

deflost · February 18, 2025, 8:44am

if we press clear, and select fixture x, it writes down to command line:

clear fixture x

in the versions before, it executes a value clear for that fixture without press enter. is this a change in the function or a bug?
thx

deflost · February 18, 2025, 9:39am

ok, gerd confirmes that this is a bug! dear all, please post a message here if you also think that a bug like this can not wait to be fixed till the next step of betas. there should be a fast fix, because we cannot test further if such a basic workflow funktion is broken.
what do you think?
thx.

Edward · February 18, 2025, 12:32pm

Hi @deflost

Thank you very much for reporting this issue. This is logged on our system as ONYX-1156, assigned as high priority.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

new beta:
hello, should the new double click function for the popup for fade/ delay/ weight option, also work with nxk? in our case it does not! is this normal?
thx.

deflost · February 18, 2025, 12:35pm

it seems like the link buttom on the nxk in general not work anymore. thx.

Edward · February 18, 2025, 12:37pm

I have an NX-K connected to ONYX PC 4.31.1292. Double tapping LINK, will open the new Link Mode popup as expected, allowing you to choose a mode…

Tapping LINK once, will enable/disable the chosen mode, and the LINK key will flash.

Double tapping FADE or DELAY, will correctly take you straight to this mode.

deflost · February 18, 2025, 12:38pm

also fade and delay buttom on nxk is not working in the new beta! thx

deflost · February 18, 2025, 12:41pm

we test this with 2 nx1 and 1 on pc setup. the nxk work ok in 4.30.1274, but not in 4.31.1292!

deflost · February 18, 2025, 12:44pm

console tester says nxk keys are ok!

Edward · February 18, 2025, 12:47pm

Thank you for confirming. I’m not sure why the LINK key isn’t working on your system. If you open the CV, and then double tap the onscreen LINK key in here, does the Link Mode popup appear as expected?
