MADBRIDGE
MadMapper control for Q-SYS — surfaces, scenes, cues, all via OSC.
MadMapperModule Overview
MadBridge talks to MadMapper over the network using OSC (UDP). You get hands-on control of surface visibility, opacity, and media selection. Trigger scenes and cues from a grid, navigate columns, and manage master intensity, fade to black, and BPM — without leaving Q-SYS Designer or your UCI. Up to 32 surfaces are available, each with opacity, visibility, media number, and solo controls. The scene and cue grid supports up to 32 columns and 16 rows. Logical cues let you name a cue, assign it a column/row, and fire it with a single GO. Preset store/recall snapshots and restores your entire state. Bidirectional feedback from MadMapper keeps Q-SYS controls in sync at all times. The plugin supports up to 4 independent MadMapper instances, so you can control multiple projection mapping rigs from one Core. All controls are exposed as UserPins for integration with ShowMind, UCI, GPIO, or any Q-SYS control workflow.
Core Features
- 32 Surfaces — Opacity, visibility, media number, and solo per surface. Full control over your MadMapper surface stack.
- Scene & Cue Grid — Up to 32 columns and 16 rows. Navigate, trigger, and sequence scenes from Q-SYS.
- Logical Cues — Name a cue, assign it a column/row, and fire it with a single GO command. Simple show programming.
- Master Controls — Master intensity, fade to black (knob + one-touch button), and BPM control.
- Preset Store/Recall — Snapshot and restore your entire MadMapper state from Q-SYS. Recall presets from Show Controller cues.
- Bidirectional Feedback — MadMapper state is reflected in Q-SYS controls in real time. What you see is what MadMapper sees.
- Multi-Instance — Up to 4 independent MadMapper instances from one plugin. Control multiple projection rigs from one Core.
- Full Pin Integration — All controls exposed as UserPins for ShowMind, UCI, GPIO, scripting, or any Q-SYS workflow.
