qsys-rewrite
Code your Q-SYS. Don’t click it.
If you integrate Q-SYS, you’ve built the same room a hundred times: open Designer, place the blocks, wire the same gain structure, name the same channels, again. qsys-rewrite is a programmatic .qsys generator — define the system in code, get a real design file out. The rooms and racks you build over and over become templates you run, not afternoons you lose.
Because the design is code, it’s version-controllable, diffable, and repeatable. Change the template once; regenerate every room that uses it. Built by a Q-SYS programmer, for Q-SYS programmers.
Three steps. No drama.
Describe the system in code
Components, wiring, naming, structure — declared once, in text, the way you’d describe it to another programmer.
Generate the .qsys
qsys-rewrite emits a real design file. Not a macro, not a plugin hack — the actual .qsys Designer opens.
Open it in Designer
The generated design loads like one you built by hand. Tweak it, deploy it, or regenerate it from the template next week.
What it does.
- 01Define the system in code; get a real .qsys design out
- 02Templatize the rooms and racks you build repeatedly
- 03Version-controllable, diffable designs — code review for your DSP
- 04Regenerate a whole standard room in seconds, not an afternoon
- 05Built by a Q-SYS programmer, for Q-SYS programmers
The whole pitch fits in one sentence: a generated .qsys, open in Designer, that you didn’t click together. Demo on request.
The honest answers.
Does Designer actually open the generated files? +
Yes. The output is a real .qsys design file — it opens, edits, and deploys like a design you built by hand.
Who is this for? +
Q-SYS programmers and integrators who ship near-identical systems repeatedly — conference rooms, classrooms, racks, templated venues. If every job starts with the same forty blocks, this is for you.
How does it pair with the UCI CSS Creator? +
qsys-rewrite generates the design; the Q-SYS UCI CSS Creator styles the user interface. Together they’re shaping up as a Q-SYS Toolkit — system and UI, both generated.
