Product Overview

SchwiftyEA wireless MIDI for QLab and other MIDI enabled software.

SchwiftyEA is designed for theatrical use, enabling actors or technicians to trigger cues wirelessly. There are 4 available wireless channels, each sending a unique MIDI note. A MIDI On message is sent when the button on the remote is pressed, and a MIDI Off message is sent upon release. This makes it easy, for example, to configure QLab to start a cue on button press or on button release.

Set this in the Trigger section of the que in QLab
