MagicQ User Manual 129 Version 1.4.9.0
When editing the channels in a Group Masters you should ensure that the fader is released before you
make the edit.
Note that the channel levels, times, and FX information in the Cue that is used as the Group Master are ignored
and hence do not affect the output in any way.
15.10 Intensity Masters
15.10.1 Group based Intensity Masters
To make an Intensity Master based on a Group simply clear the programmer, then select the Group and
record to a Playback. Make sure that there are no active channels in the programmer. MagicQ will
automatically create a Group Master, setting the Cue Stack Options, Function, Intensity Master = Yes and
setting the Cue Stack Options, Function, Group Id to the selected Group.
If required, the group associated with an Intenity Master can be changed in Cue Stack Options, Function.
When a group number other than 0 is set in the Cue Stack Options, Function menu then MagicQ
automatically edits and generates the Cue assigned to the first step in that Cue Stack. Ensure you set the
group id on the correct Cue Stack.
You can have multiple Group Masters that control one channel – they will work together.
15.10.2 Channel based Intensity Masters
Record a cue with the channels that you wish to control - the level of the channels can be any level as long
as the channel is in the programmer. Then set the Cue Stack option "Fader is an Intensity Master".
Activate the playback (press GO or raise the fader) and now it acts as an Intensity Master. Press
RELEASE to stop the master having any effect.
15.10.3 FX Size and FX Speed Master
To make a FX Size or FX Speed Master you record a single Cue onto a Playback that contains the
attributes that you wish to control.
To make a FX size master for pan movement, record a cue with only the pan attribute in the programmer
for the heads you wish to control. Then set the Cue Stack option "Fader is a Size Master". Activate the
playback and now it acts as a FX Size Master for pan movement.
You can set-up multiple FX Size and FX Speed Masters – however you should only have one Master of each
type to control each head – otherwise there is a conflict.
15.11 Advanced activate and release options
The FLASH button can be set to release the Cue Stack using the “Flash releases stack” option. This
option works in a slightly different way depending on the “Fader releases stack”.
When “Fader releases stack” = “no” (Theatre, Hog II Warp modes), pressing and then releasing the
FLASH button will always release the stack regardless of the fader level. When “Fader releases stack” =
“yes” (Normal mode), pressing and releasing the FLASH button will only release the Cue Stack if the
fader is at 0.
