Welcome to the forum,
Reading the documentation helps...

In addition to a trigger. https://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/QLC%20with%20OS2L.html - it's a variant with a beat music synchronization between Virtual DJ and QLC+ under help of the os2l plugin . And the beat channel (8342) of a profile you can connect with Speed Dial Tap of your QLC+ project, for example. Another plugin of the Virtual Dj, named Laserbeat, can be used for the music synchronization with the Pangolin's laser soft (Beyond or Quickshow).
https://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/OS2L.html - it's about Sunlite2 soft, but the second part of this post, named :"Creating light shows per track" fits to the QLC+ projects too. Maybe I am not right, but I think, that pois on a track are like a timecode, sending to a dmx soft (Sunlite 2, QLC+ etc.), or a Show function of the QLC+ without downloading music file to the project.
By the way, the first part of this post about Sunlite 2 can be used in QLC+ too, if you want to connect buttons from the Virtual DJ with buttons or sliders of your QLC+ projects for managing light shows from this music soft.

Some more ways, as example:

And if I have written in this topic 23 of March 2023 at 6:55 pm and later: viewtopic.php?p=68358#p68358 - DMxArtnetNtx plugin of the Virtual Dj.
It's not a piece of cake))), but has more functionality than os2l, because it can use all the Vurtual DJ script commands.

thank you so much

is there an easier option? I would just need to make the scanners according to the built-in microphone go as if I manually changed the pin address. I'm talking about a scanner like eurolite TS-255, TS-7B and adj comscan led

prophy17 · Sun Apr 23, 2023 7:21 pm

Oo. If you want to use the built-in microphones of your scanners - you should use in scene the fader of the dmx channel on which there is sound mode in your fixture of QLC+. I have two ADJ scanners - Quad Scan Pro and Triplex Flex. There is a sound activation mode too in these scanners. But I use the plugins of the Virtual DJ, as I have written. But for you, I think, it will be better - open the manuals of you scanners, after - find the channels with the sound activation and make scenes with the channels in a sound active position of the fader. Then you should connect these scenes with the buttons of the Virtual console and start the sound activation mode of your scanners by these buttons, as a first variant. Or - to connect Virtual console sliders levels with the channels of the sound activation of your scanners fixtures, as a second variant.

Excuse me. I didn't understand your question at first.

sorry, can you give me some example ? im new in qlc and i dont know how it works. can you send me some video or something how to do it ? here is a manual for one type of the scanner https://www.manualslib.com/manual/11306 ... =24#manual

edogawa · Sat May 20, 2023 10:01 pm

The manual says that it uses its builtin mic only in manual mode. It has only one DMX mode with six channels and none of these makes use of the internal mic.

So it appears your only option to get there is to connect another mic as audio input to QLC+ and try with the audio trigger widget, targeting chasers with scenes for mirror/color changes on how many frequency bands you might find useful... YMMV

prophy17 · Sat May 20, 2023 11:10 pm

I am agree with Mr edogawa advise for you , because unfortunately there is no Dmx channel with a sound activation mode in your scanner. Best regards.

prophy17 · Sat May 20, 2023 11:31 pm

By the way what audio soft or equipment do you use? If you use Virtual Dj on your computer I have written for you before about its synchronization with QLS+ by os2l or DmxArtnetNtx plugins, as I do. If you use another soft or audio equipment - I don't know how to help, maybe only Mr edogawa advise or manual sound activation, as you do. Best regards one more time.

kamilbrhellll · Sat Jun 17, 2023 9:38 pm

hi everyone, i alredy conected it to the VDJ and how can i now do it ? how can i do to make the scannersgoing to sound as if I manually changed the pin address?

prophy17 · Tue Jun 20, 2023 5:28 pm

For example https://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/QLC%20with%20OS2L.html

prophy17 · Tue Jun 20, 2023 6:54 pm

And excuse me, but maybe you don't understand that os2l plugin of the VDJ it's not the same as a pin address for sound active mode of your scanners. You should connect the beat channel of your os2l profile with the next cue point of your cue list for example. And don't change your pin address manually as you have written.

prophy17 · Tue Jun 20, 2023 7:02 pm

As Mr edogawa has written before unfortunately there is no opportunity to connect a sound mode of your scanners with a dmx soft. So music can be connected with some QLC+ functions as: chaser , sequence for example, or cue list and speed dial widgets. With the help of a trigger by any music player or os2l by VDJ or midi signals and osc signals by a soft that can make such signals . Or you can download a music file to your QLC+ project and make a show with it.

prophy17 · Tue Jun 20, 2023 7:06 pm

One more time about audiotrigger widget in QLC+ documentation as Mr GGGss has written https://www.qlcplus.org/docs/html_en_EN ... ggers.html
And an example of it using https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BjmEPwORP ... VyIA%3D%3D
And about another ways of a synchronization QLC+ project with a music I have sent some links before.
