Hello, I created a patcher in Max for separating High and Low frequencies from musics and display them in numbers between 0 and 1. My goal is to send the numbers to QLC+ for syncing the light with the music. My problem is my lack of knowledge in both Max and QLC+. I tried looking for answers everywhere I could, but I hit a wall everytime. Do someone have a hint on the situation?

I am afraid you will need to at least learn a bit about that QLC+

to be able to tell here what it needs to receive to do what you want.

What does that QLC+ react to ? Midi, OSC ?

And what can it do with received values ?

You want to send 2 floats out of max.

I want to send floats from Max to QLC+ using OSC. The goal is to put those floats into two sliders in QLC+. I now know that I need to use udpsend, but I can't find a way to send the floats.

than all you need is UDP port to which QLC+ is set to listen to, and

If QLC+ application is on same computer, you can format udpsend

that would send osc data to localhost on port 5555

osc string is prepended message which QLC+ recognises

and insert it between the float and udpsend

Now all you need to find out is the port number

and osc string for parameters that you want to control.

than all you need is UDP port to which QLC+ is set to listen to, and
also osc string

In Max you use udpsend object.
If QLC+ application is on same computer, you can format udpsend
udpsend 127.0.0.1 5555
that would send osc data to localhost on port 5555
You replace 5555 with real port number
------
osc string is prepended message which QLC+ recognises
as input for some control
one fictive example could look like
/qlc/fad1     ( input to control fader number 1)
in Max you would then create message
/qlc/fad1 $1  
and insert it between the float and udpsend
here for 2 floats :


Now all you need to find out is the port number
and osc string for parameters that you want to control.


Thank you very much! It works like a charm!
