Just curious what are you using to control QLC+? (Midi controllers, keyboards, touchscreen, OSC apps.)
Would be great to know where you are using your gear, what do you like and dislike about that kind of control. :)

Im currently using...
Korg nanoKontrol2
Korg nanoPad2
adafruit EZ-Key
Raspberry Pi2 with OLA and virtual here (for protocol conversion (Artnet in/ USB DMX out) and bluetooth extender/"relay" for EZ-Key)
Touch OSC on iPads, iPhones and a Galaxy Tab4
ProPresenter6 with communication add on
QLC+ running on Macbook pro

nano's are ok because they are very portable but plan on investing in something like the Behringer X-Touch. Ive read several people have had good experience with Behringer and QLC+ combo.

The things I like spec wise about the X-Touch is
1)motorized faders for feedback
2) networkable - for midi control of QLC+ and rack mixer
3)Rotary Encoders (not pots)
4) LCD Lables

Im curious If anyone has had any experience with the X-Touch?

Im also curious what others are using and there experiences with current equipment and/or what they've tried.

Hi,

You can see build info on my site http://traylorhead.com/wp/my-projects/u ... n-progress
Video here https://youtu.be/l14ejw-7w4o

I don't have pictures up yet, but also build a small display unit where I can see the RPi screen on my MIC stand. I have some more modification to do on the case to have an easy connection for it and will also bring in a port for audio out & maybe in.
MAC (OSX)

How's the Pi been working with OLA? I'm thinking of using a Pi 3 B with two DMX universes out of it (Artnet in from my QLC+ "console").

I'm expertimenting with Ableton Live 10 to Trigger Chasers via OSC in sync with Visuals and Sound in Ableton. Also sending MIDI Sync from Ableton to QLC if requred.

I'm sending different Beat "Grids" like every 4. Beat, every 16. Beat and so on.

Using one Launchpad Mini to Control Ableton and a second to Control QLC+.
