FEATURES

Over-the-Air Updates

  • Added the ability to update Maestro from the web app.

  • USB stick updates are still supported and may be necessary for network resets.

FX Palettes

  • Customize fixture attributes for specific cues. For example, you can point all movers to a specific location for a given cue.

  • Create various "snapshots," including static channel overrides, from the Controls page.

  • The Controls page has moved to the top-level menu for easier access.

  • Link snapshot attributes to similar attributes across fixtures.

  • Attach snapshots to FX Palettes, which can be applied under specific conditions, such as triggers and audio events.

  • Enable Gobo/Prism steps in a snapshot.

  • FX Palettes stay synced across stages and shows.

OSC and MIDI

  • Added support for OSC, expanding the system's control capabilities via network devices.

  • Improved MIDI support (MIDI Spec)

  • Added FX Palette selection to MIDI and OSC specifications

Improvements to Lighting Patterns and Palettes

  • Added activity thresholds to Maestro patterns, so high-energy patterns only trigger at high activity levels.

  • Expanded the upper edge of the activity range.

  • Added individual channel palettes for Amber, UV, and White.

  • Improved color palette display and naming.

  • Moved "Allow Trigger" toggles to advanced parameters.

  • Added motion to the "Still" pattern for aesthetics where lights should remain on but moving. To make them truly "Still," reduce motion width to zero.

Transport Controls Footer

  • Transport/Playback controls have been moved to the bottom of the app, as requested.

Improved Syncing and Navigation

  • Enhanced mechanisms to remember your position in the app, saving state when navigating between pages.

  • Improved UI responsiveness for phones and tablets.

  • Improved Error Pages in Web App

  • Fixture Attribute Channel types are now searchable and categorized. You can jump between items using the first letter and navigate using the arrow keys.

Fixture Profiles Improvements

  • All fixtures from the embedded fixture profile library, except for a few generic profiles, were removed. Please use our fixture website for up-to-date fixture profiles.

  • Improved mode naming in profiles.

  • Added a feature to update fixtures in the stage from updated profiles.

  • Improved handling of duplicate modes

  • Removed Manufacturer search bar from fixture profile webpage

SQUASHED BUGS

  • Fixed an issue where inputting the mode name when adding a mode to a fixture profile didn't work correctly.

  • Removed the option to delete built-in fixtures.

  • Fixed the tertiary palette for the default "Under the Sea" cue.

  • Gobo/Prism and color wheel steps are now ordered by DMX value.

  • Addressed issues with color wheel blackouts.

  • Blackout toggles were added to the "All Black" pattern.

  • Fixed a bug where "blackout on silence" triggered blackouts even when not on silence.

  • Improved transitions in PartyPattern during bass drops.

  • Updated the 2D mapping layout for movers to use mover mapping instead of pixel mapping.

  • Reduced visual jump artifacts when reordering cues.

  • Dropdown menus now highlight and open to the selected row.

  • Edits to override names/descriptions now persist after saving.

  • Resolved an issue where fog speed sometimes stayed at its prior value after releasing the button.

  • Fixed effects in PartyPattern not responding to the background.

  • Added channel count to fixture profile requests to make it easier to identify profiles when adding fixtures to the stage.

KNOWN BUGS

  • When connecting to Wi-Fi, you must refresh the page for the current state to update correctly.

  • Triggers and FX Palettes do not work when the show is stopped or paused. This is currently by design and will require significant changes to address.

  • Changing a snapshot attribute value back to the default keeps the value highlighted in blue.

  • After a power cycle:

    • Network reverts to static IP from DHCP.

    • Audio device reverts to device #1.

  • Text for palette groups cuts off palette names (e.g., "palette, palette...").

  • Loading an older stage does not offer a fourth fixture group option.

  • When changing parameters in Live Control, the Show badge incorrectly displays "Stopped" instead of "Live."

  • After a factory reset, Maestro sometimes fails to send DMX data; a power cycle resolves this issue.

  • In the solid color pattern, the color preview bar does not update when changing individual palettes.
