Trigger Sequence from QLab
Trigger Sequence from QLab
How do I trigger a sequence in LXConsole using QLab running on the same computer?
There are a number of ways, using OSC to trigger the sequence is one of the simplest to set up.
In LXConsole, you need to enable OSC using File->External->OSC In. You can check the preferences OSC tab so that it is set to listen to "Any Interface". Also note the port, by default 17688.
In QLab's setting you need to make a connection in the OSC tab. There's one for "localhost" and port 53000 by default. Add a second one for 127.0.0.1 and port 17688. (Assuming that's the port LXConsole is listening to).
You need to make sure your sequence is named without spaces. This will let you trigger it without special setup in LXConsole. Lets say your sequence is named Sequence1 (the space is removed from the default name of the first sequence).
In QLab, create an OSC cue. In the settings tab choose 127.0.0.1:17688 as the destination. In the message type, choose Custom OSC Message. In the address pattern box enter:
/cmd.lxconsole/SEQStart:Sequence1 1
You should be able to send this message and start your sequence.
