MagicQ User Manual 119 Version 1.4.9.0
Holding multiple Select buttons and pressing RELEASE releases all the selected playbacks.
14.3 Fader control
By default the playback fader controls the level of any HTP channels recorded into the current Cue on the
Cue Stack. If the “Fader controls HTP chans” option is set to “No” then the fader will no longer control
the HTP channels – the Playback will automatically be always set to 100% level.
The Cue Stack options can be configured so that the fader also controls LTP channels using the Fader
controls LTP (IPCB) option. This is useful for example, to set up a fader to perform a "fly away" at the
end of a song. As the fader is moved up the LTP channels are changed from their current values to the
values recorded in the Cue.
MagicQ supports an additional option “All chans controlled LTP”. This options allows the Playback
when it is the last activated, to consider all channels to be LTP. The value of HTP channels controlled by
the Playback is the value output, regardless of the HTP level of other Playbacks. This allows soloing of
Intensities.
The Cue Stack can also be configured so that the fader controls the size and/or speed of any FX recorded
in the current Cue. Thus, for example, you can set up one fader to control a pan swing and another to
control a tilt swing. Moving the faders to half gets a small circle whilst moving to full gets a big circle.
Varying the faders enables generation of ellipses.
14.4 Playback Buttons
Each of the buttons illuminates to indicate its current state:
FLASH Green Add
Red Swap
Green flash Add - playback held over
Red flash Swap - playback held over
GO Green Cue Stack is running
STOP Red Cue Stack is halted
SELECT Blue Playback is selected
When a Cue Stack is halted, pressing STOP fades backwards through the stack.
14.4.1 Grand Master & Sub Master
To the left of the 10 playbacks are two master faders - a Grand Master which controls the overall HTP
output level of the console, and a Sub Master which controls the HTP output level of the playbacks. In
addition the Sub Master can be configured to control the level of the FLASH buttons.
Both the Grand Master and the Sub Master have FLASH buttons which respectively bump the overall
HTP output level, and the HTP output level of the playbacks to full.
LTP channels are not affected by the master faders.
