ProPresenter also conveniently tells you what the last note sent was, so you can actively push the button you want to use, make a note of its number, and put it in the actionВ you wish.ДЄnother approach you can take is to create a presentation in ProPresenter containing blank slides with the various functions you wish to use. So you *could* also use the Mute, SEL, and PAFL buttons on unused channels to trigger things in ProPresenter (you also want to make sure that you donвЂ™t overlap these with the mutes and mute groups that you are actively using so as not to inadvertently advance a slide when hurriedly muting a channel). On the flip side, you can also use note on/off commands to control ProPresenter. Likewise, when someone is at the lectern reading scripture, I can unmute that channel automatically using the corresponding note number, and mute them again when theyвЂ™re done. Then I can add a slide at the end of the playlist entry that then turns them back off, or add these to the beginning of the next playlist entry: So now, to be able to add a cue at the beginning of a song the choir is singing, I simply have to add two cues to the first slide to turn on the choir microphones: A4 is the mute group for the speaking mics on the chancel. In this case, G#4 is the mute group for our choir. Push the button youвЂ™re interested in, and lo, MIDI Monitor helpfully shows you what note youвЂ™re interested in: Download it and run it, and it shows everything coming across the MIDI interface. SoВ how do we know what notes emulate button presses? The documentation provides this handy method: See where this is going? Unfortunately, ProPresenter doesnвЂ™t have the ability to do anything other than MIDI notes in a slide at the moment, so we canвЂ™t get really crazy with starting recordings or anything else requiring non-note MIDI messages. Meanwhile, over in ProPresenter, since Version 6, we have the ability to add MIDI Note On/Off cues to a slide. Velocity values below 64 turn the mute off, and above turn it on. The specific note determines the channel or mute group being controlled, and a the velocity value determines if itвЂ™s being turned on (Muted) or off (Unmuted). In the Qu Series, mutes and mute groups are controlled by a sequence of a Note On/Off message.

If youвЂ™re using MIDI over IP with a Mac, youвЂ™ll need a special driver for the Mac.

The Qu series boards can also do MIDI over IP (in fact, the Qu-Pad remote control app for iPad uses MIDI over IP to work its magic). But because itвЂ™s also a MIDI device, this gives us some options with ProPresenterвЂ™s $99 MIDI module add-on. This is primarily to be able to use the console as a multitrack and DAW interface, but it also lets us play back audio from ProPresenter media cues without ever leaving the digital domain, and saving us a couple of inputs on the board (although thereвЂ™s no shortage of those).

The Qu-24 is connected to the Mac that runs ProPresenter via a USB cable, whichВ shows up in the Mac as a 32 in/32 out audio device, as well as a MIDI device. We use ProPresenter for our graphics presentation, and an Allen & Heath QU-24 console for our audio. So its not always especially easy to fully staff our tech booth, and sometimes, one must fly solo, which adds to the workload, and sometimes stuff gets forgotten, like unmuting microphones for the choir or the person reading the scripture.ДЇortunately, there is some tech than can help us in this regard.
