Frog 2 and Qlab (MIDI)

Recommended Posts

Hey,

 

I'm trying to do a small light show and we've a frog 2 and a mac running qlab. In qlab the software does not detect an output patch: [1 - No Output Device].

 

Is software for the Frog required to be installed on the computer to be able to use the midi feature?

This website would seem to suggest so for the 'miniStageConsole': http://www.chromakinetics.com/DMX/QLab_miniStageConsole.html

 

If not, does the Frog need to be set up in a certain way?

 

Thanks!

MIDI is a one way signal, so it doesn't matter what you plug the Midi cable into, as it doesn't talk back to the computer.

 

This means that 'No Output Device' is your Mac / QLab not detecting the physical MIDI adaptor you are plugging in (I assume via USB?) rather than the device at the end of the MIDI cable.

 

Hope this makes sense?

 

It might be worth sending the guys at Figure 53 an email.
