MagicQ User Manual 136 Version 1.4.9.0
16.3.4 Group ID
This setting is used when the setting Cue Stack is an Intensity Master is set to Yes. It specifies the group
to use as an Intensity Master.
This setting has no effect on FX Size Masters and FX Speed Masters.
16.4 Activate/Release
16.4.1 Halt at last step
When set to Yes the Cue Stack halts at the last step in the Cue Stack. When set to No then the Cue Stack
will return to the first step after the last step.
16.4.2 Release after last step
When set to Yes the Cue Stack automatically releases after the last step in the Cue Stack has completed
fading. When set to No the Cue Stack must be released manually.
16.4.3 Release resets to first step
When set to Yes the Cue Stack always starts from the first step when the Cue Stack is activated. The
setting “Release steps 1 step” is ignored.
When set to No the Cue Stack activates at the step it was on when it was last released.
16.4.4 Release steps 1 step
When set to Yes the Cue Stack activates at the step following the step the Cue Stack was on when it was
last released.
When the setting “Release resets to first step” is set to Yes, this setting has no effect.
16.4.5 Release time
This is the time for channels to release when the Cue Stack is released (using the REL button or via
fader/flash button). The exact behaviour depends upon whether channels are active on other Playbacks.
Intensity channels not used by other channels will fade out using the release time.
The release time also affects channels that are released from Cue steps within a Cue Stack step – i.e. when
the Cue Stack step option “Rel old chans” = yes (tracking is not set to LTP).
This setting can also be set in the End field in View Cue in the Cue Stack Window.
16.4.6 Activate on page change
When set to Yes, then this Cue Stack is activated when the page is changed to the page that this Cue Stack
is assigned to.
