Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect opportunity to try out the nx4. Programming just with the pc version of onyx was going to be a HUGE pain.



This club had a super super small budget, and I built a complete onyx pc system to control it for around $800. So glad we were able to use the nx4 to get it all programmed and ready to go then run the club with just an M-touch and dell AIO pc.

No prob. Let me answer some of your questions here from the video as well. (I'll comment below as I am watching it now)

12:00 "As Main" I don't think the 2 main cuelist sections can run independently, the "As Main" just locks one in even if it's not selected. My assumption on the 2 main sections has always been just for left/right handed people. 13:32 - flipping playback faders/buttons - this is working in the current beta version.

22:17 - you are correct about shutdown procedure. ONYX saves every command into the current showfile, so there's no need for a shutdown procedure. The save is simply a "save backup" command.

37:30 - Yep, Q-Blender is the best. It is amazing 39:53 - Presets - you can combine multiple parameters into ANY preset group. When you hit RECORD, the popup has the "filters" section. Select (turn red) all of the parameter groups, record it in any of the preset pools. You now have an ALL preset. Or any combination of "less than all" (Pan/Tilt and Intensity, for example)

47:03 - FX can be stored with wave/step offset in regular presets, fyi. But yes, the "old fx" isn't the best thing ever.

(and apologies on all the comments, here in patreon "Enter" posts the comment, and I keep forgetting hit shift-enter, lol) 56:15 - Multiparts can clone, but it is clunky. You basically take the source fixture and copy it to each cell (sub-fixture) of the multipart. It takes forever, but it can be done (and I realize you may have found this)

Learn Stage Lighting

102:00 - You may not have noticed, but in Dylos in the beta, there is a mapping section. In the mapping mode you can do 2-preset and 3-preset FX. Any preset type can be used with it, not just color or intensity.

Thanks for the review - it was well-thought out and fair. I think you represented ONYX / the NX4 well :)

Thank you! And I appreciate the clarifications. Reviewing a console that Isn’t my main console is HARD. It’s like making a review of a foreign country after only spending a few weeks there.
