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

  • Effect Type Menu Reorder

    • 0 Comments
    Reordering the Effect Type Menu to reflect the types. In an idea world this would have some headings etc but just moving these around would make explaining effect types easier.
  • Rename 'User' Setup to 'This User'

    • 1 Comment
    Just makes the settings folder more distinct from the plural sub-folder 'Users'
  • Tint tools on Custom Encoder Maps! and maybe ESD Encoders.

    • 0 Comments
    Add tint tools to custom encoder map selectable options. And maybe... the logic is less solid... but also add the ESD rate, scale etc etc to custom encoder options, this should maybe open up the ESD when you start turning one of these?
  • Delete cue with show control

    • 0 Comments
    An additional delete cue parameter that will delete both the cue and it's associated show control event(s). This could take the form of a CIA command modifier/softkey [Delete] [Cue] 10 {with events} and/or a setup defined default. In my workflow...
  • Trigger cues or macros based on fader position

    • 0 Comments
    This is a bit of an odd request perhaps, but it's implemented in at least one console I know of and I found it useful in a recent project so hacked it together using OSC but it would be good to be able to execute cues (or macros or presets I guess) based...
  • Audio Input for Effects and BPM

    • 2 Comments
    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...
  • 'Favorite'-folder

    • 0 Comments
    A special subfolder in the 'Open'-menu for specifically tagged showfiles. (A star-icon is common practice I suppose)
  • Fader labeling rule for CueList

    • 0 Comments
    It would helpful that there is a space between "L" and the Cue List number like on other fader types, e.g. "L 1 Main" instead of "L1 Main" All other fader follows the rule <fader type><space><number> Parsing the fader label with OSC output will become...
  • The position materials in the effect can be recorded into the focus template.效果里的位置素材可以被记录到焦点样板中。

    • 0 Comments
    我们可以一些对称的焦点效果获得不错的造型,我需要把这些造型记录在我的焦点样板中进行使用。 Edit by eos.moderator after a conversation with OP: The OP's request is that parameter values generated by effects are recordable while the effect is still applied to the parameters. His workflow...
  • Effect Attribute that runs each step across the selection before moving to the next step

    • 0 Comments
    Break mode *purports* to do something like this, but in practice it does not work well for absolute effects with more than one step. I'd like an effect attribute that will sweep a step across the entire selection, and then not move to the next step...
