    This is one of the best tutorial videos I have ever seen on RUclips. You know what you’re talking about, you edited it tightly, your delivery is clear and direct without a thousand “um...uh...I mean...no, this button not that one” etc. and THANK YOU for not adding pointless, too loud music that’s impossible to hear you over! Excellent work. Very informative and not wasting my time.

    Super awesome tutorial! The only thing is, that I can't get it to light up the individual pads, only the menu bottons on othe sides, any idea what I did wrong?

    Thank you so much for putting this up Nate! With COVID stuck at home, I started mucking around with this and I was able get my launchpad and lighting fixtures working just like you did it. Amazing what you've done setting it all up! I am just not able to get the top row of round buttons to light (Up, Down, Left, Right, etc...) I've tried everything but no luck. I wonder if you came across this problem too? Cheers, Leo

    • @nateslighting
      @nateslighting  3 года назад

      Hey Leo, I'm glad you found my video helpful. I haven't ran into the issue of the top row not working on my launchpad, but you might try a firmware update on it, or you could try playing with the rest of the channels on the universe the launchpad is set to that aren't mapped in the fixture profile to see if they light up that row. By the way, are you using Launchpad Pro mkII or mkIII? Because If your using the newer launchpad, (newer than the one in the video) then there may be some tweaks needed to the interface process to make it work. Hope this helps!

      @@nateslighting Thank you so much for responding Nate. It's very kind. I'm using a Launchpad Mk2. I updated the firmware and that didn't work and I tweaked channels 92 -99 which would be for those buttons but no luck.

      Glad I could help! I think I see the issue now. The tutorial was made for the launchpad Pro, not Launchpad mkII, but I was very glad to see that this mostly worked on you launchpad type. I believe there are some differences between the two launchpad models (mkII and pro) so you might try using MIDI plugin instead of an entire universe, and use the custom feedback to make the lights on your launchpad work. I'm not sure if this will work but be sure to check out the documentation, and you might be able to figure this would with a little bit of experimenting. www.qlcplus.org/docs/html_en_EN/midiplugin.html Hope this helps!

    I was thinking about buying a multipurpose console with buttons knobs and motorized sliders. Do you think it could be possible to control those motorized sliders with qlc+?

    • @nateslighting
      @nateslighting  2 года назад

      Check to see if they are controllable via MIDI. I'm afraid I don't know, but do look up the documentation for the console, and see if there's anyone else who was able to make it work with something similar.

    Is it possible to tell how I can make a Fixture Definition and Input Profile for other launchpads? Like the Novation Launchpad X

    • @nateslighting
      @nateslighting  3 года назад

      Absolutely! You will need to check to see which channels light up each pad and map the names of the buttons to the inputs, with this in mind, You can create a Fixture definition for the lights: www.qlcplus.org/docs/html_en_EN/fixturedefinitioneditor.html and create the Input Profile: www.qlcplus.org/docs/html_en_EN/howto-input-profiles.html Hope this helps!

      It is a matter of trial and error. That's what I had to do with this launchpad and the steps to make it work with other launchpads may vary.
