Workspace controls can respond to four types of MIDI messages: Note On, Note Off, Program Change, and Control Change. You can then enter the MIDI message that you want to assign to each workspace control. The next section of MIDI Controls pertains to MIDI Show Control, which is discussed below.Ĭhecking the box labeled Use “Musical” MIDI Controls will enable incoming MIDI controls for the workspace. QLab will listen on the selected channel for incoming MIDI messages from all MIDI devices connected to the computer. You can also select Any to allow QLab to respond to incoming messages on any channel. To configure QLab to respond to MIDI Voice Messages, open the Workspace Settings window by clicking the gear icon in the lower right corner of the workspace, or by using the keyboard shortcut ⌘, (that’s command-comma) and then select MIDI Controls from the list on the left.Īt the top of the window, you can select which of the 16 MIDI channels QLab will listen to.
Any device capable of sending MIDI voice messages can be used, including keyboards, drum pads, purpose-built remote devices, or the user-defined keys on many popular digital audio consoles. This could be as simple as a single physical GO button, or as complex as a full MIDI surface with a button for each MIDI-mappable control in QLab. QLab allows you to map incoming MIDI voice messages to controls at the workspace level, such as GO, Pause All, Panic, and so forth, so that you can use a MIDI device as a remote control for running QLab. While not originally designed for show control, MIDI has been adopted (and adapted) for use in theaters, theme parks, concerts, and all manner of live entertainment venues.
MIDI, which stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a digital protocol created for allowing electronic musical instruments, computers, and other related equipment to connect and communicate with each other. QLab can be controlled from another program or device using MIDI.
