Hello,

I am trying to set up a MIDI profile and assign "Pitch wheel" to a slider. In the profile I created for my MIDI device I added a Slider, in my case I'm using channel 15 and I set the Message drop down to "Pitch Wheel". I select OK, then if I open the Slider profile again it shows "Message" has changed to "Beat Clock: Beat". I've tried setting this over and over again but I cannot get Pitch Wheel to stay selected.

I am running QLC+ 4.11.2 on Windows 7 64 bit. If it matters the MIDI device is an M-Audio MIDIMan MIDI Sport 2. I am able to send note ON/Off messages and trigger buttons and such, so this seems to be simply a problem with the Pitch Wheel selection in the software.

Secondary question. Is there any way to set a response to velocity or a mod wheel? I'm trying to set up a dynamic light show that responds to certain elements of what is being played.

You have found a genuine bug in QLC+. The code in question is almost 4 years old, so you are first in 4 years to spot this.
I'll fix it.

Thanks for finding this!

After some time you'll find test version for the fix here: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/mcalleg ... /artifacts

Please: 1. backup all your data (qxw,qxf,etc.), 2. install that version, 3. check if that works for you, 4. tell us the result here.
Since it's a development version, it may not be ready for production; either return to released version, or make sure you backup often :)

Word! Great turn around time. I tested it out and I do have a slider set to pitch bend and it seems to be responding now. I am seeing some issues with buttons responding to MIDI notes but I only just installed QLC+ a few days ago. This could be a me level issue. Oddly I'm seeing some stepping when I turn my pitch bend knob (Elektron Digitone) but when I assign a LFO to fade up and down it is much smoother and responds very quickly. Also When I sequence a note to trigger a button It seems the button has a delay of about six notes before it triggers on or off. My MIDI IN/OUT box blinks when the note is triggered so I know the MIDI message is being sent instantly from the sequencer. Clicking the button in QLC or using a key combination to trigger it toggles the button instantly. I'll try another sequencer later but it looks like this one is sending notes when it should just QLC is picking up on it much slower.

I figured out my MIDI issue. I had a bad (new) USB cable connected to my MIDI box. Once I swapped that out the notes started responding correctly. Only issue now is I built a Raspberry Pi host for QLC+ and now I need the bug fix for the Pi :) Would you be able to spin up another build or let me know how I can upgrade the existing version of QLC on my Pi?

Thank you

Raspberry Pi builds are not produced on demand, nor for each code fix.
You need to wait for the next QLC+ version to be released or build QLC+ on the RPi yourself with the online instructions.

Sorry, I seem to be having trouble finding those instructions. I can find the QLC / Rasp Pi manual easy enough but no build instructions or where to find the sources.

Maybe this? https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus/w ... -build-Qt5
You will not get the same build as Massimo's PI image, since he also builds custom QT and whatnot, but you get working QLC+.
Expect the compilation to take quite long on Pi (I don't know exact times, on Odroid C1 it took ~4 hours if I remember correctly).
It's possible to crosscompile on PC (compile for another architecture), but you are on your own there.
