I had a very successful Halloween Light and Sound show all thanks to QLC+ ! I am planning on using QLC+ again for my Christmas show as well. I thought some might enjoy a video of the show. Kids and adults loved it! It was programmed via MIDI and MIDI was passed into QLC+ via virtual midi cable (LoopBe1). DMX out was via E1.31 Bridge, and controllers are home built DMX 16 channel dimmers. The show had a total of 64 channels. In addition, I used 12 RGB Par Cans (86 LED's each) They were sound triggered controlled.
Thanks to Massimo once again for all his kindness and support of QLC+ and its users.
Best Wishes,
Stephen (Grumpka)

Last weekend I did a light show with QLC+.
In the video only part of the lights are shown.
QLC+ runs on a MacBook Pro with the Enttec Open DMX USB and the APC20 midi controller.
These are the lights:
- 8x LED wash
- 2x mac 250
- 8x pixel bar 12
- 2x LED cone
- 4x Trus LED (adj mega par profile)
- 1x Atomic strobe
- 1x Smoke machine moving head
- 1x JEM ZR-44 smoke machine
- 1x conventional par bar for dj light
We used our own Lighting rig along with the Lighting rig already there. we used QLC+ to send DMX data to an ETC board to control the auditorium house lights and stage pars and everything else was ours.
Gear List:
------------------
Lights:
32 Feet of Truss
8 High End Studio Beam PC 250s
5 Elation Arena Pars
4 Chauvet Vue 1.1 (you can barely even see these LOL)
2 ADJ Mega Flash Strobes
1 Chauvet Scorpion GBC 1.0 (Laser)
12 ADJ Par 36 Pro LED (Truss Warmers)
------------------
Atmospherics:
2 Chauvet 1800 Flex (one on truss one behind FOH)
------------------
Sound:
4 EV TX2152 (Tops)
8 EV QRx-218S (Subs)

Here my small video contribution. This is a party for my daughter in a cabin in the woods. The equipment is:
* Magic ball, changes color with the music beat
* LED strip, changes color and flashes with the music beat
* 3 RGB PARs, change color with the music volume
* A laptop with Mixxx for the music. Mixxx transmits beat and volume information via midi to QLCplus (See https://sourceforge.net/p/qlcplus/discu ... /be3a87e4/)
My partner Sarah and I just showed off our Robot Army in the Dark Room at MakerFaire 2015. We used QLC+ to control 84 delta robots.
We created a custom QLC fixture for our robot which controlled the three axis and RGB color. Our 84 robots (at six channels each) just barely fit into one Universe.
Our robots are custom built from 3D printed parts. The 'brain' PCB board inside each robot is an Arduino compatible custom PCB that we hand assembled.
The DMX hardware is all custom as well. We use the FTDI RS-485 dongle modified to a Cat5 connector. Our robots are arranged in 12 palettes of seven each. Each palette has a custom PCB with cat5 connectors on it. Each palette is daisy chained to the next. Inside each palette, we repeat the DMX signal to a shorter length DMX run that connects all the robots together. Our set-up and teardown are pretty simple as a result. Using Cat5 also kept our cabling costs down.
Here's a video of me describing the DMX infrastructure:
Sarah was new to QLC and had less than a week to learn how to do lighting design with QLC. In only a couple days, she had the robots doing some amazing things! QLC looked daunting to learn at first, but Massimo's YouTube tutorials got us quickly making new content for our installation!

It expands my heart to see how QLC+ is helping people to be creative and to give life to their projects.
Thank you very much Sarah and Mark for sharing this.
I'd have a whole bunch of questions to ask, but I guess you guys are busy in showing your work around, so for now I'll keep them for myself
(one above all if you'd like to go into the QLC+ website use cases)
As a personal taste, it would super cool if all those green rubber bands attached to the LEDs were made of plastic fiber, so they could transmit the LED color along the arms (legs? ) !
Great job indeed ! And great patience in soldering all that stuff !
P.S. I hope visitors noticed QLC+ and more projects like this could come in the future !

Massimo,
I forgot to answer your question about adding our project to your use cases. Yes! Feel free to add info about the project to your website and the top of this thread.
If you need more details about anything, please ask.
Mark

This is another implementation of a small stage.
with:
Starway Mode B
Starway FullKolor
Starway UrbanKolor
Excellent QLC software

Hi guys,
thanks to QLC+ I can control from the stage light and video and play music of the show at the same time. I use latest QLC+ with qt5 on manjaro linux 64 with an APC mini midi controller, an Enttec opendmx usb, and a logitech webcam.
