![]() Right-click in the gridded area and add a fader object with In the Style section of the menu change the label from auto to QLab Current Cue Faders 1-8 If the editor isn’t visible click the menu icon at the top right and then turn the editor on. Set the custom module to this file using the file browser dots icon on the right of the field This project requires a custom module which is included in the project download linked at the end of the chapter. We are going to create a new file by ticking the checkbox in Blank If we were opening a file we would select it using the button with dots to the right of the load field This is the IP address for localhost, i.e the computer all these programs are running on followed by a colon and the port number that QLab listens out for OSC messages on (53000) You can have many clients connected to the server simultaneously, and it’s possible to run the server headless. Here’s the Open Stage Control panel running in its own GUI:Īnd here it is on a Chrome browser on an iPad. Each of 8 notes of the C major Scale C-C are on separate tracks. The workspace contains a main cue list with 3 cues in a fire all groupĮach cue is an 8 track WAV file of an instrument with repeated notes. Here is the QLab workspace we are going to control. Here’s it is in action (Best Viewed full screen): It also displays the number and name of the current cue. This project uses Open-Stage-Control to synchronise a fader bank remote running on any of the devices listed above with the sliders in the selected cue in QLab. This project is going to use an almost identical workspace to that used in this QLab Cook Book chapter In fact, this project relies on a feature that did not exist, that Jean-Emmanuel incorporated by coding a custom module in JavaScript within a day of requesting it. The Developer, Jean-Emmanuel is very responsive. It’s software that is very much in development, it seems very stable, but you would need to test it thoroughly for your application. Currently, this includes Windows 7 or later, MacOS 10.10 or later, Linux v2.24 or later, iOS10 or later, Android Jelly Bean or later. What this means is that once you have it up and running, you can log in to the server from a Google Chrome web browser on any device that supports it. It’s built on web technologies and run as an Electron web server that accepts any number of clients. Open Stage Control is a desktop OSC bi-directional control surface application. In addition to QLab, it uses the following software which can be downloaded without charge, using the links below. It opens up the possibilities of creating control panels on cheap tablets costing less than 50 dollars. ![]() Our main QLab iMac at one theater was too old so I had to start using a less powerful but newer MacBook Pro.This chapter looks at remote control of QLab, using different operating systems on a range of devices. If you have a solid signal there should be no problems.Īlso it's only available for v3, which requires Macs I believe Mavericks or later. If you don't trust your connection have a backup. The iPhone version works just as well for testing and running things, but it's only as good as your router. The most magic moment of it for me was when setting a projection and the director couldn't describe what she wanted for the piece, so I just handed my iPad to her and she pinched and dragged it around trying things on the fly, with no technical knowledge required. Also if you're actually running the show this is negligible, as the GO function is all he should need. It works great for triggering effects and visuals, but it isn't as totally playback capable for music. The only thing that bothered me was there is no pause button, or way to rewind and run from certain spots. I kept my rig in the booth but was able to stand with the director and run things, and you can annotate and change things on the fly. I've used it for multiple musicals, straight plays and dance/ballet recitals.
