[QLab] Receiving MIDI Show Control

[Christopher Ashworth]

Hi Leon,

At the moment, QLab only accepts a subset of MSC for remote control.

See:

http://figure53.com/documentation/preferences.php#remote_control

So you can't (yet) fire specific cues independently.

I'm working to make this feature much more complete, including the  
ability to assign MIDI messages as triggers to individual cues.  When  
these features have been added they will be a free upgrade to  
everyone with the Pro MIDI license, so you'll get them automatically.

Hope that helps; sorry for any trouble in the meantime.

Christopher
