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

    Hey, a feature in Grand MA is effects can be adjusted to a click track or another audio source being fed in from a mixer. For musicals and concert events, this would make it a breeze to program/busk with knowing your rate would match with the song playing...

    Could you allow labeling outputs with a sensible same? At the moment outputs like Gadgets or Gateways are labelled with their serial number. This makes it hard to tell them apart. It makes even more sense when using the Apex Garage, but adding a Gadget...

    Could we get marking for said effects if they are set to fade via rate? It would move the fixtures to a starting-position, similar to starting a focus-effect with a rate of zero, but respecting mark timing. Maybe this could be done via a Softkey or...

    With making the icons bigger pushing it to centre doesn't increase the scale size of the icon it would still remain at its maximum size. Would there be a scope to add a scaling option to make the entire button the icon? Much like when you boot an apex...
