QLC+ VS MagicQ PC

I'm going to not answer your question and provide you with one anyway: experiment with QLC+. It's a lighting software, but it's very flexible with midi. On the last of the bottom tabs, you'll be able to select your device and visually see if some input is happening & from the Virtual board you can make a fader (or any control, really) to assign it to your device & check if moving your fader moves the one on screen...

QLC+ - Free, open source, it's even got an FX engine! Source: 11 months ago

If you're willing to upgrade to serious (read: fun) lighting devices, and get to experiment, I'd suggest you turn to DMX-controlled ones (can be cheap, you just get what you pay for); then buy the smallest, cheapest USB-to-DMX adapter and install QLC+. Source: about 1 year ago

What's the best DE, or possibly full distro, to benefit from it currently in your opinion? I know I'll use it with QLC+ & MagicQ. My workhorse L460 thinkpad runs Arch, btw, standard "don't-get-in-my-way" gnome. Source: over 1 year ago

QLC+ (https://qlcplus.org/) is free and pretty easy to get started with for some basic lighting control. This should work with any USB to DMX dongle or other interface. Source: over 1 year ago

If the entertainment landscape in Egypt is anyway close to Morocco, your "next" step will probably be to learn Chamsys' MagicQ, available for free to download. Their consoles are everywhere, and available at many price points. Source: over 1 year ago
