QLab 3 MIDI with Behringer X32

[Brian Kenny]

Hello all.

Anyone out there have a lead how to give a MIDI (Or OSC) "GO" from QLab and have the Behringer advance a scene or a "Snippet"?  No problems going the other way - I can have buttons on the console be my QLab "GO".

Any help welcomed! 

-Cheers

Brian,

I’ve just set this up, using a USB Uno ‘all in one’ MIDI cable, works well for me…

in the setup button, remote tab, you’ve got to tell the console to listen to MIDI from the MIDI input on the back (vs card, or RTP MIDI)

then in QLab build a regular MIDI Cue pointing to your MIDI interface, using a program change, channel 2, and your snippet number as the program number.

I’ve got the console in snippet mode as well.

I believe if the MIDI channel is 1, it’ll change scenes, but I haven’t tried that yet.

You’ve not mentioned what version of QLab you’re running, but this works for 2.3.9 I can’t see why it wouldn’t in QLab 3 as well.

(I haven’t tested OSC in QLab 3 yet as this space doesn’t have that version available, but it should work also.)

the MIDI implementation for the X32 is available here: http://www.behringer.com/assets/X32_MIDI_Implementation_2014-06-04.pdf

I don’t actually see a “Go” command via MIDI.

Thanks!

OSC works as well. Here's the implementation documentation

The X32 works over port 10023 and requires a static IP in your network. Be sure to then setup the X32 in the Qlab settings, then create a custom OSC message ... something like ... 

/load 3 0 0

Which would load the 4th' snippet in your list (the first snippet is number 0)

I think this might work. I've never done this. I've often created a group of OSC messages to set faders / mutes back to what I want, but never used the snippets recalled by OSC.

Sorry to reopen this old thread, but how did you set up qlab to respond? Did you use a dedicated midi controller or were you able to use RTP from the X32?

[Tim Rogers]

You should be able to get the X32 to respond to both MIDI (I use a E-MU XMIDI 1x1 TAB (http://www.creative.com/emu/products/product.aspx?pid=19089)) and OSC from QLab. Both work - although I found that MIDI was more reliable.

To trigger a snippet on the X32 via MIDI, use 

MIDI Type: MIDI Voice Message ("Musical MIDI")

Command: Program Change

Channel: 2

Program Number: <X32 snippet number>

Do make sure that your X32 is configured to respond to incoming Program Change MIDI messages.
