MagicQ User Manual 134 Version 1.4.9.0
16.2.8 Go jumps out of loop
This setting affects Cues that are set to Chase Timing which are in a loop. When set to Yes, pressing Go
will exit the loop – jumping to the step after the Cue that loops back to an earlier Cue. When set to No,
pressing Go will step one step within the chase.
16.2.9 Go exits loop after end
This setting has no effect.
16.2.10 Go stop/starts
When set to Yes then pressing GO stops a Cue that is already running or starts a Cue that is stopped.
When set to No then pressing GO starts the next Cue.
16.2.11 Stop swaps
When set to Yes the Back (Stop) button acts as a Flash button in Swap mode.
Pressing the Back button the Playback will be set to 100% and the Intensity of all other active Playbacks
will be set to 0%. When the button is released the other Playbacks will be restored to their previous level.
This setting enables a Playback to have both an Add button and a Swap button.
16.3 Function
16.3.1 Cue Stack is an Intensity Master
When this setting is set to Yes then the Cue Stack behaves as an Intensity Master. The Cue Stack normal
Cue execution behaviour is disabled.
If the Group Id settings is non zero then the channels stored in the Group specified by the Group Id specify
the channels that are under control of the Intensity Master. Updating the channels stored within a Group
updates the channels under control of the Intensity Master. . If there is no Group recorded for the Group
Id then the Cue Stack has no effect.
If the Group Id setting is set to 0 then the channels stored in the first Cue are used to determine which
channels are under control of the Intensity Master. The actual levels of the channels in the first Cue is not
important – only that the Channels have some level in the Cue.
In order for the Intensity Master to be activated the Go button must be pressed. To release the Intensity
Master the Playback must be selected and the REL button pressed. The Button settings “Flash activates
Stack” and “Flash releases Stack” are ignored. In order to avoid sudden changes in output level the fader
should be raised to 100% before activating or releasing.
When the fader is at 100% then the Cue Stack has no effect. As the fader is lowered then all the channels
under control have their intensity reduced.
From software version 1.4.4.4 it is possible to have multiple Intensity Masters that control the same
channel which work proportionately.
