Cheers

I have a failure to copy and move a playback to another box

3

Hi
I present errors to the update
I make a new show presents the failure

4

MSD 3D Visualizer icon at Tools Menu does not react. MSD follow Onyx DMX values, but functions in MSD as fast focus does not update Pan & Tilt values in Onyx. Or Selcected Fixtures in Onyx are not selected in MSD

5

I also have this issue.

6

Thanks, we were able to reproduce, will be fixed in the next build. Meanwhile, you can still do this using the command line (using ‘@’ to toggle between the cuelist/playback types). Copying fixture groups as well.

I have an M-Touch connected to a PC running Onyx. Furthermore I use TouchOSC on iPad. If I change a playback fader on M-Touch, it is reflected in TouchOSC and PC screen. If I change a fader in TouchOSC, the fader value is reflected on PC screen, but not on M-Touch (LED stripe on fader is not updated).

8

Can you explain in detail how to do it? I can enter the command but it won’t execute.

Hi everyone

I’m updating a show and I’m testing this beta, I find several bugs as I use it

  • updates do not respond
  • remote mode the slave does not activate the new information
    -When performing a submaster in swop mode does not respond
    -Art-Net devices do not mark universe 1 as it is in the photo, test in version 4.2.1057 with the same nodes and it is normal

thanks to the team of developers

You can select the source as usual (so COPY/MOVE and then touch what you like to copy/move). Then press @ until it indicates whether you like to copy to a playback fader, playback button or virtual cuelist (within cuelist directory) and enter, using the keypad, where to copy to:

  • in case of a virtual cuelist, it’s just an ordinal number

  • in case of a playback fader, enter the (1-based) playback bank number, followed by a dot (’.’), followed by the fader number (1-10)

  • in case of a playback button, enter the (1-based) playback page number, followed by a dot (’.’), followed by the button number (1-100)

Thanks, we’ll see if we can get this fixed for the release

14

hello gert

thanks for your support :mechanical_arm: :call_me_hand:
-When updating a cue the information does not load correctly, it is a fault that was already in two previous betas
-does not follow the program changes, example when recording a preset of any attribute the slave does not follow it and the boxes are empty

greetings to the team :raised_hands:

About working Master/Slave
All buttons around Syncro Banks, Syncro CL, etc… not work on screen but Yes on owrk (display refresh) all version 1057/1182
The Medias are not syncronitzated Master/Slave show only names but not medias

16

We’re looking at the tracking backup issues. The content will not be synchronized over the network, though: it must be imported on each controller in the network (you could use Onyx’ content export/import feature to do that in a single step).

17

Hi,

it looks like the macro functions are no longer available in the cues. I can’t add them anymore.

Grts.

18

Hello, that’s a confirmed issue indeed, together with some other cue setting changes. These will be fixed in the next build
