Urgent help please — QLab MSC cues to LXConsole

[joshualangman]

Hi everyone.

I need some urgent help.

I have a setup where I'm triggering LXConsole with MSC sues from QLab. It works fine on my laptop but fails on the show computer. The MSC cues simply produce no result. The lighting cues work fine with manual GOs.

Settings in QLab: Output patch: IAC Driver Bus 1
Command format: Lighting (General)
Command: GO
Device ID: 1
Q Number: 1
Q List and Q path blank

Settings in MIDI bus:
Device is online
Midi in 1
Midi out 1

Settings in LX Console:
Midi in: IAC Driver bus 1
Midi channel: 1
Midi note on = GO: 60
In device id: 1
Out device id: 2

The cue numbers in the MSC cues match the cue numbers in LX Console. I am absolutely baffled as to why this setup is not working. The OS is 10.5.8. I have QLab Pro MIDI installed. The copies of QLab and LX Console were downloaded yesterday, so it's all up to date. I tried both importing the cues into QLab with LXConsole's script and also building them manually.

Thanks in advance!

Josh

Happened to me. Solution restart computer.

Also look at preferences in Qlab and LXConsole.

Is MIDI/Show Control In enabled in the File->External menu?

With the "Remember External Connections" preference, it can be easy to forget that you need to enable MIDI input on a new computer. You shouldn't have to turn MIDI on and off after changing settings in the preferences. But, you can try that.

Also, the Live window must be open to receive the MIDI.

It was the File > External preference.

Thank you!

Man, I was going to give you the answer. Maybe I should come check this faster and more often now. Apart from enabling show control there is one more thing. It will automatically go disabled each time you log out if your OS is Windows 7. So you will have to check it each time log in.
