MagicQ User Manual 155 Version 1.4.9.0
19 Settings
MagicQ supports a large number of options and settings that the user is free to change. These settings are
divided into two categories – show settings and console settings. Show settings are settings that the user
may wish to change on a show by show basis, whereas console settings are associated with the specific
console and its connectivity to external devices.

LOAD SHOW+CON.
19.1 Programming mode
The MagicQ console allows the programming mode and playback mode to be configured in the Setup
Window. The modes control several of the different settings of the console. All of the settings can be
configured individually – however, the modes make it easy to change between the most frequently used
settings.
The programming mode determines how the console is programmed. The options are Normal, Theatre
non-track, Theatre tracking and Hog II Warp. Most users will choose Normal.
Changing mode during programming does not change Cue Stacks that have already been programmed – it
only affects the programming of new Cue Stacks.
The setting affected by changing mode are:
Setting Normal

Theatre non
track

Hog II warp
