Using program changes to recall scenes and library
items
The QL series console lets you assign a specific event (scene recall or effect library recall) to
each Program Change number, so that when this event is executed on the QL console, a
Program Change message of the corresponding number will be transmitted to an external
device. Conversely, the corresponding event can be executed when a Program Change
message is received from an external device.
NOTE
Assignments to program numbers are maintained as settings for the entire system, rather than
for individual scenes.
MIDI/GPI screen (PROGRAM CHANGE page)
In the PROGRAM CHANGE page, you can specify how Program Changes will be transmitted
and received, and choose the event (scene recall or effect library recall) that will be assigned
to each program number.
