Quick setup presets

Quick setup presets are one-click templates that fill in a trigger's type, channel, and parameter fields with sensible values for common target systems. Instead of looking up the spec for each piece of gear, pick the preset for your device and then change only the number (clip, scene, cue) that differs per trigger.

Accessing quick setup presets

The Quick setup dropdown is in the add form at the bottom of the TRIGGERS tab, below the name and timecode boxes. It is only in the add form: existing triggers are edited by double-clicking their fields. Choosing a preset fills the type, the channel and the default parameter values in the add form at once; you can then adjust any of them, and click + Add Trigger. The dropdown is a one-shot action: it jumps back to Custom (manual setup) after each use, and that entry changes nothing.

Available presets

There are ten presets, seven for MIDI and three for OSC:

• Lighting trigger (Note-on, Ch 1) — a generic Note-on for lighting desks that accept MIDI notes as cue-go commands: channel 1, note 60, velocity 100. Adjust the channel and note to match your console's MIDI map.
• Lighting scene (Program Change) — a Program Change on channel 1, program 0, to switch to a lighting scene or preset bank by number. Set the program number to the scene index your console uses.
• Resolume clip (Note-on, Ch 1) — a Note-on for a Resolume Arena clip: channel 1, note 36, velocity 100. Set the note (and velocity if your mapping uses it) to target the clip in your Resolume MIDI mapping.
• Resolume effect (CC) — a Control Change on channel 1, CC 11, value 64, to adjust a Resolume effect parameter. Set the CC number to the one your mapping uses (Resolume's MIDI learn shows it).
• Disguise trigger (Note-on, Ch 16) — a Note-on on channel 16, note 60, velocity 100, for a disguise (d3) cue. Adjust the note number to target the specific cue.
• DAW transport (CC 117) — CC 117 with value 127 on channel 1, which some DAWs can be mapped to a transport command. Check your DAW's MIDI assignment settings.
• ETC Eos MSC GO — a MIDI Show Control GO SysEx, device 127 (all-call), format 1 (Lighting General), to fire a cue on an ETC Eos console or any console that accepts MSC. Set the trigger name to the cue number (e.g., 12 or 12.5).
• Resolume clip (OSC) — an OSC message to /composition/layers/1/clips/{n}/connect with argument 1.
• Resolume column (OSC) — an OSC message to /composition/columns/{n}/connect with argument 1.
• Generic OSC — an OSC message to /cue/{n}/go with argument 1, a starting point for your own address scheme.

In an OSC address, {n} is a placeholder that From markers replaces with 1, 2, 3 … across the batch (see Per-song trigger lists). A trigger you add by hand is not changed: type the real number into the address yourself, or LTCast will send the text {n} as it stands.

What presets do not set

Presets fill in the trigger type, MIDI channel, and default parameter values. They do not set the timecode position or the name — those are specific to your show and must be entered yourself. After applying a preset, review all fields before adding the trigger.
