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

    As the Softkey menu is available on the main screen as well. Would it be possible to create an option to disable the softkey menu on the smaller Haptic screen so more Direct Selects or Magic Sheet Pixel space is available?
  • Emergency marks that happen in a cue part with an existing Mark flag should show as "M+"

    • 0 Comments
    It's very easy to miss broken marks when their emergency marking happens in a cue that already has a mark flag on it. It would be great if emergency marks could always be attention grabbing in the cue list, instead of only when there isn't already a mark...

  • Discrete timing: Fan percentages

    • 0 Comments
    Its great we can have percentages on time and delay but being able to fan say, [Group] [1] [Delay] [/] [100] [Thru] [0] [Enter]. At the moment obviously you can fan absolute delay and time but we cant on percentage. This'll make discrete timing revolutionary...
  • Multiple MIDI Tx Source ID configurations

    It would be nice to have a keyboard shortcut to open/close the pop up magic sheet, or provide a way to record those actions into a macro.
  • Effect Mark / Automark

    • 1 Comment
    It would be nice to have an official way to mark any NP effect and have it run in a cue prior to the one it is being used to avoid seeing the effect ramp up or movers swing into a position effect. The idea would be that effect marking would be separate...
