MIDI trigger Q in QLab through Element Bump Button

 Hi all, 

We would like to fire cues in QLab via a bump button on the Element console.  Is this possible? Or, does midi only work with cues?  

 

Thank you for the help!

  • midi comes in different flavours. the ones relevant here are Midi Show Control (MSC) and Midi Notes.

    midi show control is automatically sent from certain events, like when firing a cue and when firing a macro. Eos-family consoles don't seem to send MSC when firing a sub.

    but, you can make a sub send a midi notes command: type [Sub] 1 {Execute} [MoreSK] {Midi Data} 90 01 7F [Enter]. every time you press the sub's bump button, it will send this midi command.

    midi notes work like this:
    you always have three hex pairs. e.g. 90 01 7f
    9 = Midi Note On
    0 = Channel 1 (range from 0-15, with an offset of 1)
    01 = Note 1, e.g. the lowest note. range from 01 to 7F, so 127 different notes)
    7F = velocity, this is often ignored, it just needs to be NOT 00
