some Questions QLC 4.10.1

[hmschreiber]

Hello Massimo,

I am using QLC+ for a longer time and I am very glad with your software.

But I have some problems or questions.

First, I am using a LED-Bar with 16 RGBW Leds in one line. I have made some RGB Matrix setup and thats absolutly great. But in the 2D Window the bars have 4*4 LEDs and not the 16 in one Line. Where is my mistake or were can I fix it?

Second, is it Possible to give the GM Fader an external Input from a Midi Fader Wing? I did not found it.

Thanks for the moment.

Herbert

if some one is willing to translate this in english, feel free, but i won't write it in english, because mine isn't the best and i always use the wrong words , so nobody knows what i mean^^ He is german, he will understand

Wenn sie das RGB-Panel erstellen können sie eine spalten und zeilen Anzahl eingeben. In ihrem fall wären es also 16 Spalten und eine Zeile. Das wird automatisch dann auch in die 2d Konsole übertragen.

zu ihrem zweiten Problem:
gehen sie in die Virtuelle Konsole, dann ist oben circa in der Mitte das "Einstellungs"-symbol (Schraubenzieher).
Da drauf gehen und den Reiter "Hauptregler" auswählen. Dort finden sie den externen Eingang


Liebe Grüße

Hi,

although I am not a professional translator, I will do my best to help with this:

Whenever you create a RGB-matrix, you are requested to define the colums and rows of that matrix device. In your case you have to choose one row and sixteen columns. With this setting the 2d view will be as you expect it to be.

2nd question:

The grand master can be easily connected to an external input by using the main settings of the virtual console ( that icon with the screwdriver and spanner will open the dialog, take the third tab)

Hello together,

thanks for that very fast answer.

I am german, so it is not nessessary to translate.

Top1 Grandmaster. Great, that is wath I have serched.

Top2 RGB Matrix. I have defined 1 column and 64 Rows (that are 4 RGB Bars), but in the 2d Windows each is a 4*4 Matrix.
I have made a group of all 4 bars. Then setup the rgb matrix with 64*1. That works fine.
Is there an point to define each bar with 16*1??

Thank you for your great help.

Yes, it is necessary to translate. Others may have the same questions as you.

I don't understand Would be better with an example workspace.

ah okay, i got it. I'll try to say it in english ^^
Tryed it myself, an yes, he's right. Maybe its a bug.

Just try: make a rgb panel with 1 column and 16 rows.

when you create a rgb metrix its shown correctly, but in the 2d monitor, its shown like its a 4x4 matrix

i tryed to show the issue in one picture (see attachment ). In My opinion its a bug , which has to be reported.

First of all, guys, do not write in german. This is an international forum and the language to be used is english.

Second: Tasaei, you have this bad habit of reporting unprecise things and call them bugs, while it's clearly that you don't understand (or at least try to understand) how QLC+ works.

Just try: make a rgb panel with 1 column and 16 rows.

Wrong. Your example shows 16 columns and 1 row.

Have you realized that the RGB Panel window allows you to select the physical size of the panel ? If you leave 100mm x 100mm it's obvious you will get a square preview.

Attached what you meant, or if you prefer, how QLC+ should be used.

Hello together,

first thanks for your help.

For all they have the same problem like me, a short explanation from an stupid user

What I have:

4 Lightmaxx Tour bar with 16 RGBW LED in one line

2 MAE LED Moving Head with RGBWAV LED in 3 rings.

[attachment=1]MAE-3618.qxf[/attachment]
[attachment=2]Lightmaxx-Platinum-Line-Tour-.qxf[/attachment]

How I made my first setup:
1. In the Device manager have I selected 4 Lightmaxx
2. Made one group of this 4 Lightmaxx
3. Made RGB Matrix with this group
4. Defined matrix setup -> it works like I wanted
5. In the 2D Window are the lightmaxx defined as 4x4 Led

Ok, then I got the explanation from Massimo (thanks for that)

Second test

1. Made 4 RGB Matrix 16x1
2. Made a group RGB Matrix 1-4
3. Made a Matrix setup
4. selected them (1-4) in the 2D Window
5. And it is like I want GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The last screenshot is to much for this posting. If somebody is interested, let me know.

Thanks to all

The last screenshot:

@massimo ; with rows and columns -> thats the reason i didn't wanted to write in english

for the second thing. For me a bug is when something doesn't work correctly, is pointless or is not logical. In This case I do not say it doesn't work correctly. it works like you've programmed it, but In this case the way qlc+ works doesn't make much sense to me.


If i say my panel has 16 colum and 1 row, than i want it to be like i say, with 16 columns an d 1rows. Not4 rows not 2, no matter what the physical dimensions are.

Maybe 100x100 is a bad example but if your panel has a width of 1,7 m and has a height of 30cm than qlc shows it like its 2 rows an in the first there are 10 columns, in the second one there are 6.
So its not like i wanted it to be, and its not symmetrical about any axis.

When i do the same thing with the same width but a height of 10cm, than its shown in the 2d monitor with 1 column and 16 rows, so like i wanted it to be.

You're right, if i leave it with 100x100 i'll get a square , but that is not a reason why qlc+ should change my number of rows. Yes, when you have 1 column and 16 rows and a dimension of 100x100 than there would not be 16 circles but 16 extrem Ovals, but that makes sense instead of making it to 4x4 lamps.

extreme example:
If i have 25 led-tubes (without internal elements, so one Tube has just one color at a time) and i put them side by side, than i would get a 1x16 matrix with the the physical dimensions (single tube: width 4cm, length 1 m) of 1m by 1m.

So even if i use the physical dimensions exactly, it doesn't work like i want it to in the 2d monitor. I do not see , where it make sense, that i have to correct my physical dimension to get the number of rows an d columns in the 2d monitor as i want.

the thing is that qlc works, like every segment itself in a rgb panel has to be a square....but reality the segments of an rgb panel are not always squares.
