after i learned about QLC+ in january, it quickly became my choice when finding a solution, to control everything, while building a nice little, but amazing techno-club, in an old workshop garage in hamburg with some friends.
at first i struggled with a vew things, but got around it and managed to do some coding on a RasberryPI (never have done that bevore) and got it working.
i used a simple USB Interface for one universe, and artnet for two more.
list of things i controlled with it:
6 Varytec Giga pix Frost LED Bars
8 ADJ Dotz Pars
2 Antari AF3 Fans
4 Cheap noname Movinghead Spots
1 Quad audience blinder
25 Oldschool Par 64 cans in a 5by5 Matrix as a Centerpiece above the DJs
and 8m Stairville Pixel Rail
bevore i found QLC+ i only ever had controlled my DMX stuff with old little Analog controllers with 384 Channels max, and had not much experience with software controlling.
but i must say, i love it!
being able to completely customize my workspace, is pretty nice.
only a few things that i was missing there, a master Fade, similar to speed control, but with fade times, and the ability to freeze funktions without turning them off.
and it only crashed twice a week, when i was really pushing it to the limits ( 5 animations running simultaniously, on 5 different speeds and different multipliers, and sometimes overlapping functions between multiple fixture groups for some extra effect, bringing the RPI 4b to its limit with its 4 GB RAM, i think) but simply restarting qlc brought me back live within 16 seconds.
most visitors didn't even notice..
i will try to upload some pictures, and maybe link some videos, when i get around uploading them,
