Show Manager
The Show Manager has been introduced in QLC+ starting from version 4.0.0, after forking the
original QLC code on November 5th, 2012.
This feature is meant to give users the possibility to setup a time driven show in a friendly and
completely graphical way.
The graphic interface shows a multitrack view, typical of audio sequencers or video editing
softwares, and with it users are allowed to place QLC+ Functions at the desired place and time in
the view.
A typical use case are those gigs where bands play songs following a metronome and the light
show has always to be the same, following the music.
Another case are visual entertainment shows, where dancers or singers follow some music and
lights create the atmosphere at the right time.
Controls
Create a new Show. A Show is represented as a multitrack workspace where
tracks, sequences and audio elements can be added
Shows list
This drop down box list the currently created Shows. Clicking on a Show will
display it
Create a new track. In QLC+ a track corresponds to a Scene. A Show can
virtually have an infinite number of tracks.
Create a new Sequence item. A sequence is a special Chaser bound to a
Scene. All the steps created in a sequence will only act on the selected track's
DMX channels
Create a new audio item. An audio item simply represents an audio file. Audio
items can be added on any track, but if you intend to create a separate track
for it, just create an empty Scene track.
Note: It is possible to display the waveform preview of an audio item just by
right clicking it and selecting the desired channels you want to display (Mono,
left channel, right channel, stereo)
Warning: Even though QLC+ allows you to, it is not possible to play two audio
files simultaneously. Especially on Windows, you might experience unwanted
crashes.
Copy the currently selected item into QLC+ clipboard
Paste QLC+ clipboard content at the cursor position. When performing this
operation two checks are performed:
Overlapping: checks if the item you're going to paste overlaps with an
existing item in the selected track
Validity: In case you're pasting a Sequence, QLC+ will verify if the
Sequence contents are compatible with the currently selected track
