A feature I thought of that could help in shows is multiple external inputs instead of just one on any function, slider, knob, etc... The ability to have like 3 or 4 inputs even on GM.
I use touchOSC, BCF 2000, touchscreen monitor, and keyboard at times for control I would like to be able to assign any of these to the same button, slider etc for quick control.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Try making two buttons in the virtual console, assigning them both to the same scene, then each to a different input, then dragging the duplicate off the visual portion of your Virtual Console. I've played around with this and haven't run into any problems yet.
Not a permanent solution of course, but a good workaround in the meantime.

Thanks for the workaround idea.
I've just tried it, and generally it works, but it doesn't reflect the changes i do.
For example when i change a slider on touchosc the fader on the bcf2000 doesn't move, so the whole system gets messed up.

I am also trying to do this - I would like to use MIDI (LC2412) and OSC (TouchOSC) concurrently as external input.
I'm new to QLC+, and still getting up to speed - but I can't seem to be able to set two external input devices concurrently. When I select OSC for example, MIDI becomes unchecked.
I would like to use the LC2412 for general light management (eg floods etc), and concurrently use an iPad for controlling moving heads, and triggering scenes etc.
Is there a way to have two concurrent external inputs ? Am I just being dumb?
Thanks,
Nick

your problem is simpler, and easy to solve, since you seem that you don't need buttons/faders be controlled by both of the protocols simultaneously, as the guys above you want.
In your case you just need to assign OSC to one input universe and LC2412/MIDI to another input universe.

While I'm sure that it would be possible for the guys to code this .... but Why would you want to work in a setup like that? it sounds like a potential nightmare waiting to happen....
the thought of somebody else getting control of a keyboard while I'm adjusting a scene with another control is chilling.... just keep things simple, no?
just my thoughts.

does anyone else see this as a good idea?
Aboslutely!
I have the same problem right now, did you find a workaround meanwhile?

i think i found a way using osculator to map touchosc and the bcf2000 to the same values and use the iac as input

hi guys.
i just have to ask the question....
While I'm sure that it would be possible for the guys to code this .... but Why would you want to work in a setup like that? it sounds like a potential nightmare waiting to happen....
