Introduction

19.11.2012

QLC+ is a free and cross-platform software to control DMX or analog lighting systems like moving heads, dimmers, scanners etc.
This project is a fork of the great QLC project written by Heikki Junnila that aims to continue the QLC development and to introduce new features.
The primary goal is to bring QLC+ at the level of other lighting control commercial softwares.
QLC+ runs on Linux, Windows (7+), macOS (10.7+) and the Raspberry Pi.

GitHub sponsor is now active

27.05.2023

Some of you might already know that GitHub is the place where most of the magic of this project happens and where the source code of QLC+ is made available for free to everyone.
However, almost nothing in this world is really free and, at some point, someone will have to pay the bills.
Apart for volouteering and lot of dedicated spare time, this project has costs like this website hosting and DNS renewal, tools and devices to actually develop and enhance the software.
It could also have the potential to hire more manpower, buy licenses for more professional tools and packages (e.g. Fontawesome Pro!)

Therefore, as an alternative to Paypal, I have activated the GitHub sponsors feature.
It is a way for you to support the main developer of QLC+ (aka me) and help this project grow.
Any monthly amount will help!

How can you do it? Just go to https://github.com/mcallegari/qlcplus and click the Sponsor button (the one with a heart icon) on the top right part of the page.

Thanks everyone who will decide to be part of this initiative and also to whom eventually got to read this till the end

Ending Windows XP support

08.11.2020

I hope this doesn't come as a surprise to many of you. For several (good) reasons, any further QLC+ will stop working on Windows XP. Support in the forums will stop at the end of 2020. I think it is time to move on from old hardware and software.
I am also struggling to keep building QLC+ on a XP compatible framework, so there is a strong technical reason to this.
Windows 7, instead, should be supported for some more time as Windows 10 is around since "only" 5 years now.

QLC+ 5 crowdfunding campaign goal #1 reached !

29.05.2018

I am very happy and proud to announce that goal #1 of the advanced 3D features crowdfunding campaign has been reached in just around 3 days ! A huge THANK YOU to all the people that made it possible !
But this is not it ! The campaign goes on towards even more ambitious goals !
Goal #2, especially, is super exciting for me because...LEDs are all around us ! We see them on stages more and more often, on huge walls, in architectural illumination, in seasonal lighting (yay!), in clubs, etc...
Wouldn't it be cool to have such feature available out of the box in QLC+ 5 3D preview ?
Your contribution is appreciated to make this happen too !

A change on Sequences, QLC+ 4.11.0 approaching

23.04.2017

I had to make some major changes to how QLC+ handles Sequences. For this reason the next QLC+ version will be 4.11.0. Since these changes are already upstream, to avoid complains after 4.11.0 is released, if you use Sequences you are invited to read this blog post and help the project by providing feedbacks on these latest changes, for a good 4.11.0.
Thanks in advance !

Theatre guys, your feedbacks appreciated

14.01.2017

As the QLC+ project is constantly evolving and hopefully improving, during the Christmas holidays I dedicated some effort to tackle a couple of long standing issues frequently encountered in a theatre workflow.
You can find some long discussions in the forum regarding monitor+override sliders and blended crossfade.
Both those needs should now be covered and up to date test versions are available for every platform, including the related documentation updated.
So I kindly ask everybody interested in those features, to please provide feedbacks in the above forum discussions, to allow me to understand if the current solutions make everybody happy.
Thanks.

QLC+ 5, where art thou ?

03.01.2017

After a sooo long time, here's some updates to the QLC+ 5 development status !
Please go to the QLC+ 5 update #2 blog post

QLC+ 4.10.5b

26.12.2016

Here's some more corrections to the 4.10.5 version. Most significant is data input from PRO DMX devices, which was not working properly, especially on Windows.
I also processed a couple of issue reports and included the latest submitted fixtures.
I think it is now time to update the Raspberry Pi image as well with the latest changes.
Changelog:

  • engine: fixed 4.10.5 regression on RGB Matrix preset step color calculation
  • Virtual Console/Frame: fixed widgets disable state when switching pages
  • Virtual Console: fixed SpeedDial and Animation widget presets feedbacks, and allow to use custom feedbacks
  • Plugins/DMX USB: fixed 4.10.5 regression preventing to receive data from PRO devices
  • Plugins/DMX USB: [Windows] fixed a long standing bug causing random crashes when receiving DMX data
  • Plugins/MIDI: [macOS] further changes to support virtual ports
  • New fixtures: Stairville M-Fog 1000 DMX, Cameo Superfly XS (thanks to Konni)
  • New fixture: ColorKey WaferPar Quad-W 12 (thanks to Taylor)
  • New fixture: Eurolite LED PARty RGBW (thanks to Heiko Fanieng)
  • New fixture: lightmaXX Platinum CLS-1 (thanks to Marc Geonet)

QLC+ 4.10.5a, test builds and tools

13.12.2016

Unfortunately it happened again. I had to re-release 4.10.5 because an issue has been spotted a few days after 4.10.5, affecting the playback of a Chaser within a Chaser.
The fix took me about 5 minutes to be done, and I'd like to take this unfortunate event to encourage everyone to check from time to time the forum TEST version page. I've dedicated quite a lot of effort to be able to offer automated builds, and in my opinion those are a great chance to test the next QLC+ version and check that your projects are working properly, and in case, report if something doesn't work for you. This would save to me and to you a great deal of time on a version that is not good enough for everyone.
Furthermore, it can be an opportunity for users to contribute back to this project where our automated code tests (which are a lot, I can guarantee) fail to detect complex usage misbehaviours.
As for automated builds, we now have also Windows versions, thanks to the AppVeyor service. Also, I have enabled the OLA plugin in Linux Ubuntu packages built by the OpenSUSE build service (OBS). It doesn't come as a surprise though that no solution is available at the moment to produce automated builds for macOS.
Last but not least, I've dedicated some time to create an online fixture validator where you can check if your fixtures are good to be submitted to the QLC+ forum.
I have filtered the most common errors that I've noticed in the last years.
If you have suggestions and feedbacks to improve it, please report in the forums. Thanks.

QLC+ 4.10.5

03.12.2016

Here's another maintenance release of the QLC+ 4.10 family.
There's not much to say that the changelog below doesn't say but indeed 66 new fixtures is worth a big thank you to everyone who helped with their contribution.
During the last 6 months I've dedicated most of my efforts to the QLC+ 5 developments, including some "under the hood" changes to the engine to lay ground for a solid support of 6 different platforms.
I've piled up a lot of things to show, so expect a couple of update videos pretty soon, showing how QLC+ 5 is shaping up for the next generation lighting control.
Recently, I've also abandoned the web hosting service causing lot of disconnection issues and weird errors with the forum. I've moved everything to a new space that so far looks faster and more reliable. If you still experience issues, please let us know in the forums.
Changelog:

  • Engine: added indigo to fixture channel colors (thanks to Axel Metzke)

QLC+ 4.10.4

29.05.2016

QLC+ 4.10.4 is a bugfix release that aims to resolve a few issues and regressions reported by users during the last months.
As usual though, this version brings also important news regarding specific areas:

  • I have introduced a real pause state of QLC+ Functions. This state can be accessed from Virtual Console Cue Lists and from the Show Manager.
    A Cue List now has 2 separate buttons for playback: Play/Pause and Stop.
    When pausing, lights will stay on, and "frozen" exactly where they were, even during a fade in transition. This breaks backward compatibility with external control mapping, cause now you have to map 2 different controls, so you are strongly invited to review your project if you intend to use this version.
    On the other hand I hope the benefit is clear: this distinction gives maximum flexibility of control of a Cue List/Chaser playback, especially for theatre usage cases.
  • With the LED color feedback in mind, I finally implemented global custom feedbacks that can be defined just once in an input profile. They can always be overridden from every VC widget, like before.
  • Again, for flexibility, I decided to split MIDI beat clock start and stop events, so if you're using such feature, please double check your project.
Now a few deployment updates:
  • Every Linux build now includes the OLA plugin, but OLA is not a hard dependency of the package. The plugin will be listed in the IO manager only if OLA is actually installed in the system.
  • Windows builds now include Qt 5.6.0 built by me, without ICU libraries. The final package size has been reduced by 700Kb.
  • Mac OSX bundles include Qt 5.6.0 as well, the vanilla version
  • The Raspberry Pi image has been ported to Debian Jessie ! This is a huge step forward and the boot time is lighting fast: 12 seconds on a Raspberry Pi 3 !
    Notification emails will be sent later today.
Changelog:
  • Scripts: Fix 4.10.3a regression that breaks values parsing (David Garyga)
  • Engine: fix relative paths when opening a project from the command line
  • Engine: improved the start/stop mechanism of Functions within a Show
  • Chaser Editor: a newly created step is now selected automatically
  • Scene Editor: fixed the tab order of the fixtures
  • Show Manager: added the possibility to pause a Show leaving the lights on
  • Show Manager/Audio: allow to display the waveform preview while playing a file
  • UI/Function Selection: fix crash on workspaces where a scene ID is bigger than its sequence ID (David Garyga)
  • UI/Video: fixed the fullscreen positioning on Windows
  • Virtual Console/Animation: fix behavior issue when changing the associated function (David Garyga)
  • Virtual Console/Frames: send feedbacks for the enable button
  • Virtual Console/Frames: fix 4.10.3 regression causing frames to resize after configuration
  • Virtual Console/Cue List: playback can now be paused and resumed (see documentation)
  • Virtual Console/Cue List: added a dedicated stop button, with external controls
  • Virtual Console/XYPad: fixed computation of reversed fixture position (Luca Ugolini)

New forum categories, remarks and contacts

24.04.2016

The more users start to approach QLC+, the more the forum is getting messy. Most of it because people don't read the forum guidelines, and don't provide the necessary details for who reads the post to understand the issue and therefore give help.
So today I have created 15 new forum categories, trying to guide users to the appropriate section and create some order out of chaos, with the hope to implicitely provide some basic information.
I renamed the huge "Issue, feedbacks and ideas" forum into "Archive" and no more new threads are to be started there.
Now please allow me a few remarks. Sometimes I can be caustic, I know that, but after 3 years of QLC+, I think I have seen the worst out of people.
Aside from maintaining QLC+ 4, developing QLC+ 5, improving the Raspberry Pi image, maintaining the website, producing video tutorials and documentation and studying new techonologies for the project, I am also a moderator of the forums, and whether you like it or not, there are rules to follow. I become nasty when someone clearly ignores them, and then claims to be right when I make them noticing it.
Some come to the forum with the answers in their pockets, or saying "I have 30 years of experience" or "I am a project manager". You can even be the Pope, but I truly don't care.
When you want to be part of a community, you come with humility and moreover after you have understood that the QLC+ project is carried on by the spare time of volounteers, and not by a company.
You will never hear me saying QLC+ is perfect, but that's not an excuse not to respect what has been done so far.
The more openness this project has, the more people will abuse it. That's the opinion I ended up having, based on several facts I observed during the years.
There was a time my personal email address was public in this website. And I had to remove it because people abused it.
Quite frequently I receive requests of contact from every corner of the internet, on every possible "social" channel. I receive emails in every language, especially from italian people, who are the first I will ignore.
Please stop. We're not mates. This project is not only me. Use the forum and you will find out that a) you will learn the english language and b) you will probably find nice people that will help you.
In private, I accept only requests of contact from serious people, who wants to contribute to QLC+ or have interesting projects in mind that require my advise.
In conclusion, the positive aspect of this writing of mine, is that I am upset cause I still care about this project. When I will not care anymore of people's ignorance, most likely this project will be dead.

QLC+ 4.10.3

06.03.2016

Here's the third maintenance release of the QLC+ 4.10 family. It brings a massive amount of fixes and improvements, thanks mostly to David Garyga, and 48 new fixtures thanks to the awesome work of Robert Box and to all the users who submitted them for review.
Many fixes also on HTP/LTP cases, on the ArtNet and OSC plugins and on crashes using audio input.
There's been also some under the hood changes, to improve the architecture and solve some licensing issues. One example is that this version delivers a brand new version of the integrated web server. This new implementation allows to have multiple websockets running, as well as HTML pages delivery. We took the chance to add a preliminary web DMX keypad, thanks to Santiago.
I know, some of you expected to have a UI keypad first, but at this point I believe it is a QLC+ 5 matter.
Regarding that, I hope to be able to provide an update about the development status quite soon.

Changelog:

  • Engine: Fix intensity channels forced back to HTP after LTP not working correctly (David Garyga)
  • Engine: Fix functions with low intensity killing current fade outs (David Garyga)
  • Audio Capture: Fix crash when selecting another audio input while a capture is running (David Garyga)

Video tutorial #7 - Positions and EFX

13.2.2016

After a long time and many changes to QLC+, I've been able to produce a new video tutorial to cover the aspects concerning positions and EFX.
It is a 40 minutes long video (couldn't do better, sorry) that explains some positioning aspects and suggests a few ways to help reducing the time spent during the project design phase.
You can find the new video in the tutorials page together with the project used in the video and a 11 pages PDF integrating what is explained in the video.
Hope you enjoy !
