Hello,
I've been running shows for a few years, but recently got the budget to build a semi-decent lighting system. For the controller, I've decided to go with the MagicQ Full interface with the MagicQ software (most likely I'll put together my own Gentoo distro for that), but the one thing that concerns me is the ease of use of building cues with the virtual lighting desk.
I tried installing the MagicQ Remote app, however the window scaling is completely off on my tablet, it doesn't seem to have faders, and it won't find my PC for some reason.
I set up a remote desktop with my android tablet to see if that made it any easier to move faders than using a mouse, which it did, however since it was remote desktop I could not use my tablet's multitouch capabilities to move more than one fader at a time, which is going to annoy me quite quickly when setting up chases and scenes. Is there any (preferrably free) android app out there that can control the MagicQ software, with both faders and encoders, that supports some sort of multitouch capability to avoid having to do everything with a mouse?
I was thinking that there might be some other free lighting desk software out there that had a much better app for control that could control the MagicQ software via Artnet.
