Q Light Controller+

Hello,

New user of this wonderfull software, I use QLC+ 4 on a festive music show, with 6 musicians on stage. I use an "Enttec DMX USB Pro Interface" box on my MacbookAir computer.
I created in my virtual console:
- a sequencer which drive a chaser containing various scenes, timed or not. This sequencer is launched at the start of the show, and runs until the end.
- Buttons, which I launch manually with a Korg Nanopad2, which launches specific functions (chases, flashes...)
- Faders that control scenes, which I activate manually as needed.



I have 2 questions about usage :
1. While my sequencer is running, a scene is active, is it possible to make my individual faders "motorized" to follow the active level visually, and thus be able to adjust their level (raise and lower). I can already raise the level (without displaying the current level) but I cannot lower a spotlight in the active scene.
2. Is it possible to control my faders via a classic DMX console. I did not succeed during my tests with the Enttec box.

Thank you for your help !

Yes you can: https://www.qlcplus.org/docs/html_en_EN/vcslider.html -> Catch up with external controller input value.

1bis: Standard logic is HTP (Highest Takes Precedence) - this means you can overrule running functions with a higher value. Ergo: you cannot lower a value of a running function unless you switch to LTP (Latest Takes Precedence) but this has other consequences.

Pick an extra universe and tick your Enttec interface as input. When you change values on the external controller, you should see a joystick wiggling meaning you have input. Now you can bind external controls to your QLC+ VC sliders, knobs, ...

Thank you so much for your answer !
1 : I have seen the "Monitor the selected channels and update the slider level" checkbox in the Level tab". It seems to work like I want.
1bis : OK for the HTP.
2 : I will test soon.
