Yes I did - without any luck ... you have to address the driver to get things working ... the best I did was getting keystrokes out of it, but fader etc : no luck
[mode off]
It's not a midi compliant device so no luck there

I assume it's connected by USB. You can try USBpcap (it's included in reasonably new wireshark) to capture USB traffic to see if you can understand it.
I guess there should be 4 (bidirectional) streams of data:
- the control surface
- MIDI ports
- 2x DMX
I'm not sure if it's worth the effort, since the odds are low that somebody would want to use this pretty expensive device without MA...

My issue with the ma2 onpc is my Christmas light show with the limit of 4096 parameters, the pixels eats up a lot of parameters and it would go over the limit and QLC has no limits far as channels. So I wouldn’t buy it just for QLC I also would be using for on pc

Are you saying that you would buy a MA2 on Pc wing just to use it in conjunction with QLC+?? for a christmas show?
No shit... if that's that easy for you - please buy me one also [-8 they are expensive over here you know
Except for the faders and the command buttons you won't be able to use any other control buttons in QLC+ I guess. (MA consoles have an arranged way of putting the program buttons and rotary controls) for a fraction of cost you can buy yourself an army of BFC-2000's if you like (and they have motorised faders ... cool play stuff). I have Novation touchpad Pro's for colour and gobo and positions (with visual feedback) so I'm rather oké with my setup...

Waah - Great news (!) Thanks for pointing this out Jano. Too bad that my wing is on the road for another month so I can't tryjanosvitok wrote: ↑Thu Aug 23, 2018 10:58 am I assume it's connected by USB.

No I would use MA2 for my local gigs, and DJing but for programming purpose and this is with QLC5 because midi would be unlocked to program not just active VC, use QLC for the Christmas Show.

Ok I found out from from the act light today through the midi port with onpc running you can program through the midi ports the left side of the wing but the reset can’t so the usb option would be the way
