QuickShow MIDI Setup Guide

This guide shows you how to configure Pangolin QuickShow to receive MIDI from PulzWaveArtNetMidiBridge.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure:

• ✅ loopMIDI is installed and running with a virtual port created
• ✅ PulzWaveArtNetMidiBridge is running and connected to the loopMIDI port
• ✅ SoundSwitch is sending Art-Net data

Step 1: Configure MIDI Device in QuickShow

1. Open QuickShow
2. Go to Settings → MIDI → MIDI Settings
3. Select loopMIDI Port as your MIDI input device

Step 2: Set Up MIDI Mapping

1. Go to Settings → MIDI → MIDI to Live Control
2. For each control you want to map:
   • Click the LEARN button next to the parameter
   • Trigger the corresponding DMX channel in SoundSwitch
   • Important: Select Slider as the controller type (not Encoder)

MIDI Mapping Demo

The animation below shows the complete MIDI mapping process using the LEARN button:

Once everything is configured, your QuickShow should react to the DMX data coming from SoundSwitch. Here's what it looks like with an autoloop running:

Troubleshooting

• No MIDI signal? Make sure loopMIDI is running and the virtual port is created
• QuickShow not responding? Check that you selected the correct loopMIDI port in MIDI Settings
• Values jumping erratically? Make sure you selected Slider instead of Encoder as controller type
