Simple Desk
The simple desk emulates a typical 12/24 lighting console that is able to control a full 512-
channel DMX universe with a multiple cue stacks operated with playback sliders. The desk can
be thought of as a desk within a desk since it operates separately from other QLC+ components.
For example, cues within the cue stack are not visible in the Fixture Manager and Scenes are not
visible in the cue stack.
Controls - Universe
The universe box contains the sliders that are used to control individual DMX channels in the first
DMX universe. Since 512 sliders cannot nicely fit on the screen at the same time, they have been
divided into pages. By default, each page contains 32 sliders but that can be tuned.
Switch the view mode from all channels to fixture channels. Please note that if no
fixtures has been defined, the second mode will result empty

of the screen.
