Q Light Controller+

Hi

I'm trying to sync the midi beat clock signal produced by MainStage with QLC+

I have read the manual about the midi feature her:
http://www.qlcplus.org/docs/midiplugin.html

But I really don't get it to work.

The manual says this:

Two special MIDI channels have been mapped in QLC+ to control your Virtual Console widgets with a beat clock.
Channel 530: A signal is sent on this channel when a beat clock starts or stops.
Channel 531: This signal is sent every BPM. QLC+ doesn't take any notice of measures (e.g. 3/4, 4/4, 7/8), so when setting up your MIDI clock you need to consider how QLC+ will handle it.

Can someone please tell me a setup that works?

I have tried this:
- Added my midi input to a universe
- Selected the "generic midi" profile
- Added channel 530 and 531 to the "generic midi"
- Added a speed dial widget and connected it to a chaser
- Added channel 530 to the "tap input"

But the widget don't recognise any clock signal.

What am I doing wrong?

Do you use your MIDI universe for something else?
Can you attach your qxw file here?
Do you see joystick blinking when you send MIDI data to QLC+?

1. Just one midi in and usbdmx out.
2. Sure. I have attached it.
3. Yes, but not for the midi clock signals.

Ok, I figured out one error from my side, and that was inside MainStage.

Now I got the beat signal into QLC+. But what is the correct way to use it?

- Assign it to the next cue button in the cue list?
- Assign it to the Absolute value button in the Speed dial widget?
- Assign it to the TAP button in the Speed dial widget?
