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

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

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

I also have this issue.

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).

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

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

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

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).

Hi,

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

Grts.

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