Audio Triggers and Tap
-
George Qualley
I feel stupid asking this question because it seems like there is probably a very obvious answer, but I've looked high and low and I can't seem to figure it out. Is there a way to tie an audio trigger to the tap button of a speed widget? If so, how?

No as far as I know 
At the moment audio triggers can only control buttons and sliders widgets.
Would you like to explain the use case of connecting to a tap ? I can't figure it out right now

Well at least I'm not crazy Yes, basically if I want to change something to the beat of a song I would generally tap in the tempo. If I could just assign an audio trigger to that, it would do it automatically!

I can see the usage here: create a chaser/EFX/etc., and by tap you can sync it with the music (DJ/band/playback).
I implemented it for speed dial taps; I may add also next button of chasers.
NOTES/BUGS:
1. audiotrigger must be created later than the controlled widget, otherwise the workspace won't load properly (because the workspace is loaded linearly, and the widget is not yet created when audiotriggers is loading).
2. when a slider is selected, treshold editboxes should be disabled/hidden since they are not used (just cosmetic).
3. maybe more widgets could be selected to align them with DMX channels/functions (this is really low priority).

Thanks, am also interested in being able to do this and spent ages trying to work out if it was possible! Hopefully it there will be a release before I get to use it in anger!
On a similar but related issue, I have an issue with audio levels on OSX, I have the microphone inputs peaking and OSX sees full bars but I get only 30% or so in Qlight, any ideas?

Another note: we should add a divisor to this tapping to be useful - e.g. the tap would happen every 1/2/4/6/8/etc. beat. Otherwise the speed may be too fast, especially EFX.

Note: It seems that the thresholds were not saved.

However, I've got a consideration about this.
Thresholds are static and music dynamic is not. Higher volume will behave differently than lower volume.
So, in the future someone will surely ask for beat detection, which is dynamic...
...and then it will start raining dicks

Beat Detection, Superb. When will we see that 
Think we can do with out the dick rain though

when using audio triggers though if you specify more than 32 qlc+ crashes. also for sliders it is only saying slider number it isn't showing its name would it be possible to fix?
