Hi everyone. Here's another maintainance version of QLC+.
Version 4.12.7 comes, as usual, with a bunch of fixes and some good news.
Thanks again to everyone who contributed to test and improve this version!

The two major changes you need to consider when coming from previous versions are:
  • LTP channels will now fade out as well
  • Blackout now involves only HTP channels. Finally your motors will stay where they are! :)
Some more love have gone also to the audio playback.

@Apple Silicon users: I'm still working to deliver universal binaries that work on Intel/Apple Silicon hardware. Unfortunately there are still technical issues that I hope to resolve soon.
@Raspberry Pi users: version 20230519 is already available in the reserved area.

Changelog:
  • engine: improve audio fade in/out
  • engine: consider EFX fade in
  • engine: handle LTP channels fade out
  • engine: make sure input/output device names are unique
  • engine: fix crash when no IO plugin is found

Hello, not sure if this is related to addressing using multiple identical MIDI devices, but from my testing this functionality is still buggy. As in, a show file will not remember/patch each device properly. What appears to happen is QLC assigns separate names in the input/output manager patching section (i.e. APC Mini, and APC Mini 2), and you can manually select the correct devices for the desired universes, but on the left side in the universe details it lists the simplified name for each universe i.e. 'APC Mini' without the '2' on the second one. Then when saving and reloading the file it reverts to all universes patched to the first instance of that device name. From there the only fix I found is to entirely unpatch and repatch all affected midi devices.

Thank you for all your work & effort!!

Hey Nathan,

There is activate development in progress for multiple devices with the same name, however; if you want to get it working now I have some options for you.

Please feel free to DM me or message the official Instagram so we can jump on a call.

Are there details/specifics as to what the "more love have gone also to the audio playback" ?

What exactly is this "love"? And on which OS?

Changes are listed in the changelog. You can check the specific code modifications yourself, like this:
https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus/c ... gine/audio

In this case, changes are OS independent.
