1. Connect your computer with QLab to the same network as your LightShark device.
   

2. In lightShark within the preferences, in the MIDI&OSC tab make sure that OSC command reception is enabled and that the input and output ports are correctly configured.
   

3. In the QLab main window, create a new "Network" type CUE. 
   

   

4. Select the "Settings" tab and then go to the settings menu.
   

   

5. In the settings menu, select the "Network" tab and configure Patch1.
   

   

   The configuration is carried out as follows:
   

   • Enter a name to identify the Patch
     

   • Select the network interface to which your lightShark device is connected.
     

   • Enter the IP address of your LS-Core or LS-1.
     

   • Enter the OSC input port that you have configured in lightShark
     

6. In "Destination" select the Patch1 ( lightShark ) and in "Type" OSC message. 
   

   

7. Enter the OSC command you wish to send and press "Send" to check that it is working correctly.
   

   

Note that actions in LightShark are performed by releasing the button, so the message is sent on <0> value instead of <1>.
