Save Show
This option quickly saves your show to USB. If the show
hasn’t yet been named, FLX will ask for a name before
saving the showfile. If the show has a name, FLX will save
a new copy of the showfile with the next sequential number
on the end automatically.
Lock Console
This option allows you to lock FLX with a pin number, so
you can leave the console unattended safely. The default
Pin is 0000. I
t’s highly recommended that you change this
pin.
Patch Wizard
This is a quick access to the Patch Wizard (page 41).
Calibrate
This is a quick access to calibration (page 46).
Error Tone
This turns on/off the built in error tone every time there is a
popup, warning or error.
System Information
This opens the System Information window, which contains
information, debugging options, licence details and a DMX
Outputs view.
Encoder Wheels
On the encoder wheels are four additional options:
Intensity
This encoder is available when fixtures are selected,
and can be used to alter the intensities of all the
selected fixtures. This intensity adjustment is relative,
which means that if a range of fixtures are selected with
different original values, the movement of the encoder
will be applied to each fixture individually (eg each
fixture will increase or decrease by a percentage from
its original value).
Speed Override
The Speed Override encoder is used to override the
current crossfades occurring on the Master Playback.
By default, the override fader is set to 50% to give
“normal”
crossfades. Deviating the level above 50% will
increase the crossfade speed proportionally, and
reducing the level below 50% will slow down the fade
proportionally. 100% will snap the cue, and 0% will
pause the cue. Once the cue is complete, the encoder
will go back to 50%.
Global BPM
The Global BPM fader is used to adjust the Global BPM
speed. The central button acts as a Tap Tempo, and
the encoder and speed up / slow down the current Tap
Tempo. Any chase can be set to use the “Global BPM”
opposed to its own individual BPM.
Programmer Time
The Programmer Time encoder is used to set the
internal fade time on FLX. This fade time can then be
applied to anything in the programmer, ideal for
“busking”
shows.
The encoder will allow you to set any value between 0.0
(snap) and 11:30.0. This time is displayed just above
the encoder on the touch screen.
To enable the time crossfade function, press the middle
button of the encoder. Now, activating palettes,
changing intensities via syntax, clearing the
programmer, releasing playbacks etc will all take the
time set on the encoder, rather than happening
instantly.
