I ran across qlcplus while looking for a way to improve our band lighting. We have used our light trees with audio input only so far. I was interested in adding more control to our lights without needing a light person at every gig. QLC+ is the software I used for footswitch controlled lights, an old ART midi footswitch from the 90s, and a Yarilo DMX USB to DMX device. Below are links to gear used. Support my reverb shop with some used gear purchases!

I have used QLC+ to run theater lights for stage plays for at least 5 years. I haven't incorporated MIDI into my setup for QLC+, though I certainly have enough MIDI gear. I've been using it for light, sound and video.

I use the Enttec Open DMX SUB adapter.

Did something similar with QLC+ where you can use a Midi Program Change to select between 99 songs, and Midi Note On to select between 50 DMX scenes per song. You could use a computer, Midi 61-key keyboard, or a custom Arduino 6-button foot pedal to control everything. Even created an accompanying app to re-order songs.
