Hi,

can I map a key (like space or N) to the "next cue" button in the Simple Desk? (or is there an already assigned ket?)
The simple desk has all I need but I can't find a way to assign a key to that button. I've seen that it should be possible to do it in the virtual console but would like to avoid it as non tech people will probably play with the light too.

thx

Simple desk is included to try to do some simple things like debugging channels. The existence of a chaser inside the simple desk is there to quickly check your 'scene changes'.

The QLC+ workflow
Once you get your different looks; you easily can dump those scenes into real scenes and then put them into a chaser on VC. This chaser will accept a 'next' button. And more needed: timing parameters (fades, hold) ...
I'm sure a novice user will not know how to store pre-program scenes inside a chaser on another desk... so a little basic knowledge is needed. (Simple desk doesn't allow for cross changes between scenes either, so...)
All electric machines work on smoke... when the smoke escapes... they don't work anymore
