So to add to, and (slightly) correct the above list of usable MIDI strings in your Dlive…Īlthough I got really far I would like to find out how to link cue numbers to the strings so I can have scenes trigger certain ques, and the stop all function is just a blunt stop…. I’ve been building a Qlab Go button (and then some) and was searching for MSC/Sysex commands to get Qlab to respond to, and I was surprised to find just what I was looking for in the Dlive Forums!! I’ve recently aquired a C3500 and a CDM48 rack, and I will be using Qlab and MIDI on a regular basis… Alternately, the Start cue could trigger a specific cue in the list to start playing.I would like to add to this topic with my own findings… For example, a Start cue in your Main cue list could target a cue list called “Preshow music”, and a Fade cue in your Main cue list could fade out and stop that list. Cues can target cue lists, or cues in other lists.Triggering a cue list is the same thing as pressing GO for that list.You can open additional windows to view separate cue lists and carts by selecting the list and clicking the Open in New Window button, or by right-clicking/control-clicking/two-finger-clicking on the name of the list or cart. Only one cue list or cart can be active at a time. The cue list whose cues are displayed in the main area of the workspace is called the active cue list. ![]() The button will open the Timecode window to allow you to watch the incoming timecode and verify that everything is working properly. Once you’ve chosen LTC or MTC, choose an incoming MIDI device, or audio device and input channel, and the format (a.k.a. Strictly speaking, SMPTE, the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, is the name of the organization that invented LTC, and LTC is the name of the timecode format. Note: LTC is sometimes referred to as SMPTE, which is similar to the way that a tissue is often called a Kleenex, or a photocopy is often called a Xerox. Next, choose whether the cue list will listen for LTC (which stands for linear timecode or longitudinal timecode), or MTC (which stands for MIDI timecode.) QLab does not support VITC (vertical integrated timecode) because we’ve frankly never heard of it being used outside of a film set. To enable incoming timecode on a cue list, check the box. In order for timecode triggers on cues to work, however, incoming timecode must be enabled for the cue list that contains those cues. With a Pro Audio, Pro Video, or Pro Bundle license installed, QLab can listen to incoming timecode and start cues using timecode triggers, discussed in the Triggers section of the documentation. Please refer to the section on the inspector to learn about the Basics and Triggers tabs of the inspector. ![]() ![]() When a cue list is selected, the inspector shows three tabs: Basics, Triggers and Timecode. Be careful! But also, rest easy knowing that you can Undo cue list deletion.Ĭue lists have cue names and cue numbers just like cues, and they follow the same rules and can be edited in the same ways. Note: deleting a cue list deletes all the cues within that list too. You can delete a list by selecting it and choosing Delete from the Edit menu or by using the keyboard shortcut ⌘⌫ (delete). You can create a new cue list by clicking on the New List button. ![]() The sidebar has two tabs the left tab shows cue lists (and cue carts too, but we’re talking about cue lists right now.) To see the cue lists in a workspace, and to add or remove cue lists, open the sidebar by choosing Lists / Carts & Active Cues from the View menu, or by using the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘L, or by clicking on the list button on the right side of the workspace window footer. By default, all new QLab workspaces have one cue list, titled “Main Cue List” and all newly created cues go in that list. A workspace in QLab can contain an unlimited number of separate cue lists.
