Feature and improvement suggestions

Feedback from users like you help us shape and improve Eos for all productions. We receive a large number of feature requests and suggestions from many sources, including this forum. Your comments and votes help us understand which features you’re passionate about, but there are many additional factors which inform development prioritization for any given release.

The most helpful information you can provide us when commenting on issues is how a particular suggestion would help you. If you describe your use-case and how the suggested change would benefit your work, it lets us gain a much deeper understanding of the need behind the suggestion. Suggestions often have an impact on what we work on, even if we ultimately choose not to implement a suggestion exactly as it’s described. Our ultimate goal is to understand what you and all users need and to create solutions that meet those needs. Occasionally, that’ll mean implementing a suggestion as described, but it usually means working to understand the need behind the suggestion and how we can meet that need for as many users as possible.

While we endeavor to update and respond to popular suggestions, the volume we receive means there will be occasions when we can’t provide an update or response in a timely manner. For bugs and show-critical issues, please use our standard forums and support structures: https://www.etcconnect.com/Contact/Technical-Support.aspx

    In an absolute effect, using the BPM softkey in the effects editor to change the speed of the effect respaces the whole effect evenly. This makes it so cannot have asymmetrical effects, like an intensity step where the on state is shorter than the off...

    Add virtual keyboard and encoders to iRFR/aRFR tablet mode. The tablet could then replace the on-screen virtual keyboard in a Nomad layout allowing more room for other tabs or Augment3d to be run full screen. This would also be useful when using Nomad...
  • Add more colour options for macro buttons

    • 1 Comment
    Don't hide extra colours behind obscure colour combinations, instead lay them all out, add blue or even better a proper colour mixing system for macros, with the ability to recall macro colours from others.

    Would be fantastic to have a usb device like the hard-DS-buttons on apex. Or a native support for streamdeck on consoles to have DS with labels and icons on them.

  • Media Browser

    With the more widespread use of Icons throughout EOS, it would be great to have a dedicated Media Browser Tab. I have found it really difficult to do things like delete old Icons and such as the location to do that is quite strange. A single tab that...
