Hi everyone,
i'm quite new to qlc+, but already loving it.
But i'm missing an option or way to select a color via a single knob. Like dialing in a HUE value and mapping those to my groups and animations. Does anyone have an idea how to realize this or did i just missed a button or feature?

I have a Korg nanoKontrol2 and simple DMX output.
My Lamps are all RGB, some with a dimmer value.

Hope someone can help.
Thanks

Cheers
Sebastian

Choosing RGB color using 3 knobs is easy - just add 3 knobs to virtual console, and map each to R/G/B channels.

Single knob is harder. QLC+ does not support hue.
What you can do is to create several scenes one for each color, add them to a chaser. Then create VC cue list, and go to properties/Side fader tab, select steps mode, and map the knob to left fader.
Know you can choose the color using the knob.

Disclaimer: not tested, something may be missing or do not work at all.

PS: hm, i'm just think. write a widget will get one input for hue and one for intensity, outputs 3 values for RGB to whatever is a propiate ... i think i need to take a look at the git repo ... ;D
