Great, helpful video. Any chance of sharing your Qlab template with the audio cues? I've been looking for something like that to take out the grunt work!
Just managed the same process in an SQ series! Thank you! Could you do a video on how to mute/unmute channels with Midi message from Qlab! Sometimes I’d rather do this than trigger a different scene
I have tried so very hard to make sense of the MIDI via hex thing, but it continues to make my head explode. Thanks for this! Would you be up to making a video to help better understand the hex MIDI thing? I've been trying to connect dLive, ProPresenter, Hog and ATEM via MIDI and ideally Streamdeck companion.
How can I use midi to change the tap tempo for my delay effects on my Avantis, I’m running ableton live and have a Dante 64x64 card, and a host network with my pro presenter and lighting console. I watch another video but they didn’t explain in depth how to do it, but they talk about using MTC to program volume adjustements (for example a guitar solo) or tap tempos for different songs by following the ableton Midi time code.
Here are the most common commands! F0,7F,00,02,01,01,F7 - Go Current Cue F0,7F,00,02,01,02,F7 - Pause all running Cues F0,7F,00,02,01,03,F7 - Resume all paused Cues F0,7F,00,02,01,08,F7 - All Off (no fade out!!) F0,7F,00,02,01,0A,F7 - Reset F0,7F,00,02,01,11,F7 - Jump to next Cue F0,7F,00,02,01,12,F7 - Back to previous Cue F0,7F,00,02,01,13,F7 - Jump to next Cue Group F0,7F,00,02,01,14,F7 - Back to previous Cue Group
Guys could I get some proper help, I am having trouble connecting from the Avantis to MIDI Control, The way I have it set it up is I have my A&H avantis solo network port coming out into a POE and then I have my computer plugged into the same POE but I still can’t connect the midi control to my A&H. Would appreciate any help thanks
Great video ! Is there a simple way to perform simple tasks (level up/down via cc, mute/unmute, etc) instead of using scenes ? Most consoles use the midi channel/note on or cc commands for remote controlling, the only midi charts I seem to find are all hex codes I can’t understand or translate :(
Couple of things to try: 1) You could use the Custom Control app from A&H to create your own custom array of buttons/sliders etc. linked to the tasks you are looking for control over if you want a free solution outside of Qlab and can utilize a device with a touch screen such as a tablet or phone (it just has to be on the same network as your mix rack) 2) If you utilize Qlab scenes/presets as a bank of options, you could map those to specific buttons on an external control surface similar to an Elgato Streamdeck or the like and then have push button controls over some of those parameters if you map such functions using the MIDI/hex documentation I linked in the description from A&H
Sorry i should have mentionned i use QLab, since your video is on triggering scenes I am trying to figure out how to access only faders and buttons so I can for example lower a fader level automatically within a QLab music cue.
@@josuebeaucage4294 Got it; that’ll be a bit more involved because those require NRPNs. So in Qlab that means changing it from a series of MIDI voice messages to SysEx. So let’s say I want to reduce my input on channel 1 by 10 db on its fader in the LR mix on MIDI channel 12. I think this is how you would program that message in Qlab. BB 63 00 BB 62 17 BB 06 57. I’ll break that apart for you from left to right by grouping below… B (don’t change this) B (for MIDI ch 12 so if you look at the guide 13 would be 0C and you just omit the leading 0) 63 (don’t change this) 00 (this would be your input channel number so in my case input/ch 1 = 00; but ch 65 would = 40) ----- B (don’t change this) B (again for MIDI ch 12) 62 (don’t change this) 17 (don’t change this - I believe this is the parameter for adjusting the specific channel vol) ---- B (don’t change this) B (one more time for MIDI ch 12) 06 (don’t change this) 57 (this is the amount of the fader level change so for instance +5db = 74) I haven’t tried this so if that doesn’t work you might need to split it up into 3 control changes/messages (for the dLive) like I did in my video here for the scene recall. I hope that makes sense and helps. Let me know if you try it out and get it to work before I do; I’d be curious as I’ve never had a need to do that yet! :)
@@josuebeaucage4294 I'll break up the parts of the message in case you can't do Sysex with it; read the bottom left portion of pg 2 on the PDF from A&H I linked in the description and then use the charts as a reference for the Hex values on the last page of that PDF
Allen&Heat make things harder when it comes to automation via MIDI, but your video was really well done and easy to follow. Thank you.

Excellent video! Your method works for the Allen & Heath Avantis as well! One suggestion is you could provide a download link to your template.

What will be midi command for Soft Key for Panic, like I'd press ESC in qLab?
Here are the most common commands!
F0,7F,00,02,01,01,F7 - Go Current Cue

F0,7F,00,02,01,11,F7 - Jump to next Cue
F0,7F,00,02,01,12,F7 - Back to previous Cue

62 (don’t change this)
17 (don’t change this - I believe this is the parameter for adjusting the specific channel vol)

06 (don’t change this)
57 (this is the amount of the fader level change so for instance +5db = 74)

Hey, amazing answer, I’ll try it out pretty soon for a theater act and let you know. Thanks again for your time sir.
