Hy everybody,

I'm writing here because I have a problem with a quite huge system that I've build.
The topic was to recreate an organ keyboard with light in a big scale, so I build a keyboard 6mt long 3mt hight build up of 60 glass slice, each with 4 capacitive sensors. Behind each slice I put 2 led stips, the upper activated by the first three capacitive sensors, the lower activated by last capacitive sensor.

In total I have 240 different "note", each group of 12 linked with a total of 20 Touch Board Bare Conductive (https://www.bareconductive.com/collecti ... sLmj8Drpqq). I have then a usb hub to an iMac.
For the lights I used a Entec open DMX USB (https://a.co/d/123OCIL) that drive 3 DMX decoder/controller 32 channels each (some lower note ativate the same light) (https://a.co/d/akMbvUs).

The audio goes with GarageBand, and I build a system in QLC+ with 20 different universes, one for each Touch Board. Everything works fine.
The problem come when the systen is shutted down due to power problem. When the system restart, I have to reconfigure each universe to the correct Touch Board.

I put an UPS but I want to modify the QLC+ program to work as GarageBand, so when the system restart I don't have to relink all the Touch Boards.

I was wondering if there is a method with I can say to QLC+ to read from all the Touch Boards toghether the correct MIDI code.
Is it possible? Can someone help me?

Thank you all in advance,
Luca

When connected, does your Touch Board Bare Conductive reveal a serial number inside QLC+? If so, there might be a solution. Explanation: the USB bus refreshes upon startup. It doesn't respect any order of USB devices attached. So QLC+ cannot possibly know where to look for device #4. Unless a serial number is revealed, you may ask Massimo to do a code tweak so QLC+ remembers the serials of your attached devices.
