Software Suggestions Part 2

After using Nomad and a Programming wing for a few shows now, I want to suggest a couple of Software ideas. 

The effects edit window, has a table with Rate then  Size, but the encoders populate as Size and rate. It gets a little confusing sometimes. it would be nicer if the items in the Table Headings were in the same order on teh encoders. 

It drives me crazy that everywhere else you can select what you wnat to label, and press label to do so. Not so with Macros.....You have to go to the Macro page, and select the macro to label. more annoying is that if one is already selected you have to specifically unselct befor you type.  minor things, annoying.  Do I hear Software Patch?

another feature i would find very usefull...is the if the ML window could have an option to extend across multiple screens. This would be very useful  when you have a fixture with like 30 Parameters. and very useful for Element users too. 

When will that empty Key between, label and About be able to be  programmed in Nomad?

When I save an Effect Sub on the Fader wing it would be nice if the top button then became an Intensity bump button. or even better can be saved with several options.

ps.  Some more suggestions.....Wrap Text on Magic Sheet buttons.
When i click on Blind then Live, would be nice to go back to the screen I was at before.

I would like to change the default window/view work space for 1 .

  • Robin,

    I can't Comment on all of these but i can tell you about a couple of changes in 2.4 which cover a 2 of the things you have listed.

    ML Controls - These will now go down the screen instead of across and make much better use so the space available to them. There is also short cuts on the left which will allow you to jump between Intensity/Focus/Colour/Form/Image/Shutter to speed up getting between all the Parameters. The mouse wheel will scroll up and down along with using your finger if you have a touch screen. Its a lot quicker than the old ML Controls.

    Options for Fader wings is also included - The Load button on a single fader will always be load but you will be able to customize what the bottom 2 buttons do. You will also be able to gang upto 3 faders together so you can use all the buttons on the other gang faders. Plus use 2 or 3 faders for extra control eg Intensity - Size - Rate of one effect on 3 faders.

    Cheers
