Hello,
I am new to PC based lighting. I have been tinkering with QLC+ trying to get a handle on how everything works. I was able to get my fixtures up and running, create scenes, chases etc. Recently purchased an APC Mini to use as a midi controller for the virtual console and have been unable to get it functioning. Searching the forums for any info pertaining to setting up this controller and have been unsuccessful. Could someone please help point me in the right direction?

Thank you for time

Hi BobFather,

could you please be a little bit more specific what you did until now and what is not working!

You have to specify the APC Mini under a universe as a input device and also for responding, sorry, I use the german version of QLC+, so I did not really see the correct descriptions in english here. If it's not automatically configured, you have to choose the APC Mini profile on the next tab. After that you are abble do assign the buttons and slider to functions within QLC+ ...

I have "painted" a virtual console with the arrangement of the APC Mini buttons

While the APC mini has only three colors I do some colored frames around the button as background pictures
