Stream Deck for control SQ

[Anonymous]

Hi, I have a question. Do is possible use stream deck for press soft key or for command midi to recall scene ?

Hi Marcin,

Yes, there are ways to send MIDI via TCP/IP from a Stream Deck and use this to control an SQ.
The most simple way is shown in this article (https://support.allen-heath.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/using-stream-deck-with-dlive). You would just need to use the IP address of your SQ and the messages shown in the MIDI Protocol Document here (https://www.allen-heath.com/media/SQ-MIDI-Protocol-Issue1.pdf).

Another way would be to use stream deck ‘companion’, which is third party software. Though this doesn’t currently have SQ presets, so it might be quite hard to get it all working!

[just for clarity, as we have been asked before, there is no way to connect a stream deck directly to the console]

Cheers!
Keith.

For Companion / A&H SQ / Windows users:

Step 1: Install Packet Sender (https://www.packetsender.com)
Step 2: Open notepad and type the following two commands:
cd *LOCATION PACKET SENDER*
packetsender -xw 500 *IP ADRESS A&H SQ* 51325 “MIDI COMMAND”

EXAMPLE FOR SOFT CONTROL 1:
cd c:/program files/packetsender
packetsender -xw 500 192.168.10.101 51325 “90 30 7F”

for more midi commands check this list:

Step 3: Save as, all files, type filename.bat

Step 4: Go to companion and use “internal: Run shell path (local)” and type your filename.bat location.
EXAMPLE:
C:\Users\danielvdvelde\Desktop\filename.bat

Have fun!

and this is obsolete since the new companion beta features an SQ module already….
