Virtual Console Speed Dial
Speed dials are meant for adjusting the speed of a set of functions from virtual console, much like
bus-mode sliders in the previous versions of QLC+. While the bus concept relied on assigning
functions and a slider to the same bus, the speed dial's method is a simpler and more
straightforward one: User directly selects a set of functions whose speed properties are
controlled with the dial, thus removing the need for buses in the middle.
Operation
The speed dial itself looks and works just the same as the speed dials in various function editors:
There is a big dial in the middle that increases the time when rotated clockwise and respectively,
decreases it when rotated counter-clockwise. The plus and minus buttons perform the
same thing.
The current time value is displayed in four parts. When any of these fields is clicked, the dial
and the plus/minus buttons will increase/decrease that part of the time. The mouse wheel can
also be used in place of the dial/buttons and the fields accept also values written on the numeric
keypad.
h: Hours
m: Minutes
s: Seconds
.xx: Centiseconds (100ths of a second)
Clicking the infinite button disables all of the dial's controls and sets the currently adjusted
functions' speed to infinity. For example, to a Chaser, an infinite duration means that it will never
switch to the next step unless manually instructed to (see Cue List).
The tap button can be used to adjust the time to a beat. Practically the dial measures the elapsed
time between clicks and sets this time to the controlled functions as if the dial was adjusted
accordingly.
For cuelists/chasers and RGBMatrixes, the tap button advances to next scene/position when
speed dial is set to adjust duration, and the tapped tempo is more than 1/4 of the original
duration.
Configuration
Speed dials can be configured with the properties button found in the toolbar or by double
clicking the speed dial itself.
