Okayyyy now I understand how a DMX node with a custom proprietary software works ! Well… I really got to get this artnet mode working, because this simple desk equivalent is atrocious to use 😂
We can discuss about this but... Sigh ... don't encourage people to use the Simple Fader ... QLC+ can do very much more than that if you invest a little more time in prepping things... Not only because you dump scenes (use the word 'view' here) and add some gimmicks to them (fade times?), you mimmick a 80-ies desk and store those steps. QLC+ is more advanced! IMHO Setting up a view, involves creating a scene (a preset with the big guys), Adding multiple views to a list of views, is a chaser or a sequence. A chaser is a step-by-step WHYSIWYG list of views. A Sequence (with tracing values), has other powers... more like a story book -hence play-performances- ... In QLC+, both sequences and chasers have the ability to set fade times, hold times, sequence flow and !! Here comes the magick ;-) In QLC+ you can assign controls to those views / steps / chaser all together. You cannot do that in simple desk. To the OP don't read this \\- you've invested time creating a vid about this topic - Thank you! Really! #learn #read #askquestions #readgain #learnagain #tryagain #master
I totally agree with you. When I use QLC+ I never use simple desk to provide lighting for a production. Instead I go the preferred route of creating scenes, sequences, chases and collections and then incorporate these into a cue list which I synchronize with a show control program. That way my lighting, audio and projections all work seamlessly together. My goal in creating the RU-vid videos is simply to provide information to a specific audience, namely school and community theater people who have little experience with lighting software. QLC+ is a fantastic resource for schools and community theater groups who are stuck with a 50 or 60 year old lighting console and cannot afford to upgrade. I thought about making a disclaimer that I never use simple desk to do productions but it seemed to me that it would sound like i was making a negative statement about the software in general which I did not want to do. I tried to keep it as objective as possible simply to provide information about what that particular section of QLC+ does. Please take a look at my other tutorials on QLC+. My hope is that I can encourage more school and community theater groups to make use of this fantastic software for their theatrical productions.
