Q Light Controller+

All,

MacOSX 10.9.5
Generic USB to MIDI
Tech21 Midi Moose foot controller

I have various working scenes and shows set up in Virtual Console.
I have the foot controller set up in Inputs/Outputs, it shows the joystick flashing when operating.
Auto detect works on the buttons in VC, and I have assigned triggers to some scenes.

They don't trigger.

Am I missing something simple?

Graham

hello

Is the USB to MIDI is working properly ?
Have you managed to create a new profile for the device Tech21 ?

Greetings
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Yes to all that (I think!)

I have attached some screenshots, they may help.

Graham

And another...

It looks correct .
It can change the mode of program change on control change at the input .
Set in proporties button triggering "key combination " and check if that works.

Graham, to diagnose this, it is necessary to understand how the foot pedal sends the MIDI CCs.
I just found this: http://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/

Can you please give it a try and post here any relevant log that it can produce ?
I need to see if this is a "hold" problem, meaning that each pedal sends a "on" as long as you keep it pressed, and a "off" when you release it

Thanks both,

Adrian, the key command works fine when set on a button.

Massimo, Midi Monitor downloaded and working... log image attached for first 10 clicks on footcontroller (five each on two banks).

Graham

Thanks for the picture but unfortunately there's missing data.
A MIDI message should be composed by: channel - data1 - data2
Apparently this MIDI monitor displays only data1, which I believe is the CC index.
data2 is the most interesting, because it carries the value on which QLC+ reacts

In Linux we have this: http://i1-linux.softpedia-static.com/sc ... imon_1.png
As you can see, it displays the whole message

Let's try again with this: https://itunes.apple.com/it/app/midi-mo ... d889445281
Seems more complete to me

How's this? I can adjust settings if you need me to.

Thanks so much for your help.

Graham

In the case of the "Program Change" is sent only channel number and controller number, so there is no value information,
"Control Change" - sends the channel number, controller number and value.

Oh wow. I need to make a test with my BOSS GT-8 then.
So maybe we could "complete" a Program Change message with data2=127 (turned into DMX=255), so buttons will be triggered correctly.

Please stand-by

You mean that we may be able to map PC to CC in QLC+ ?

I hope so!

No, I didn't mean that. QLC+ is not a MIDI message router.
Why would you need PC to CC anyway ?

I just did the test. Turns out Program Changes work as expected on Linux.
This is a OSX specific issue (and potentially Windows too)
Gonna fix it asap

Sorry, my misunderstanding. I'm right on the edge of my knowledge with MIDI.
A fix would be great!
Thank you again for your help, I really like the software, it's allowed me to get in to DMX at last – your video tutorials were the key to it all for me.
Graham

Glad to help.
You are a very lucky man
I fixed the issue on OSX and uploaded a TEST version: QLC+_4.9.2-TEST-20150714.dmg

Please check it out and let me know if it works for you.

You Sir, are a genius, and I salute you.



I downloaded, plugged in and it worked perfectly!

THANK YOU!

Graham

No problem. Thanks to you for spotting the problem.
It was one line of code on OSX, a few more on Windows...
