Switch Behringer X32 rack scenes from QLC+ using MIDI
Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2017 5:50 pm
Hi,
This is not a question, but rather informative post filling voids missing in available manuals.
I am working on a project where some software is controlling various aspects of show through QLC+, which is really easy using websocket control interface that QLC+ exposes, and one of the things I need to do is to adjust input levels on Behringer X32 rack console, so I came up with this.
1) Set up X32 to receive Program change messages as per manual http://behringerwiki.music-group.com/in ... ementation section "MIDI RX > SCENES"
2) Set up snippets with configurations you need to switch, add snippets to cue lists http://behringerwiki.music-group.com/in ... nes_Screen
3) In QLC+ on desired universe set your MIDI out device (for example USB to MIDI cable) as output and configure MIDI to send Program Change messages on channel 2
4) Create fixture with as many channels as there are cue lists you want to switch in X32
5) Add above fixture to workspace in universe configured in 3)
6) For each cue list under functions create script like below:
replace setfixture: with id of your respective fixture and replace ch: value with cue list number - 1 (0 for cue list 1, 1 for cue list 2 etc.)
7) Use created scripts to switch to specific cue list in X32
Comments and suggestions on how to improve this are welcome.
