MagicQ User Manual 166 Version 1.4.9.0
When this setting is set to disable recording, parameters of Cue Stacks and Cues such as Chase Speed,
Shape Size and times may still be modified. To prevent all modification use Disable Modifications in
addition to Disable Programming.
19.6.7 Disable Modifications
This setting prevents Cue Stack and Cue data from being modified. Use this setting to ensure that
programmed Cues and Cue Stacks are played back exactly as they were programmed.
19.6.8 Disable Test Mode
This setting prevents the user from testing Cues, Cue Stack, Playbacks and Patched Heads from the
respective Windows. Use this setting to avoid accidental operation of these features.
19.6.9 Disable Macros
This setting prevents Macros running. This is useful in cases where macros have been erroneously
assigned to keys.
19.6.10 Auto Backup
This setting enables automatic back ups. It can be set to No, Yes, and On Changes. By default it is set to
On Changes.
For playback of shows you may wish to turn back ups off, especially if you have a very large show as the
back-up process may occasionally affect the response of the console. We recommend you keep them on
(On Changes) for programming.
19.6.11 Keep a backup archive
With this setting enabled the MagicQ console keeps an
archive
of back-ups. It will only archive back-ups
created using Auto Backup above – therefore if you turn auto backup off then you will not have an archive.
19.6.12 Show file path
The path where all show files will be stored. This path defaults to “show”. It is possible to change this path,
for example in an education environment where it is necessary to have different accounts for different users.
19.7 Programming settings
Programming settings are automatically changed when you select the mode – Normal, Theatre non-
tracking, Theatre Tracking or Hog II Warp.
19.7.1 Activate Chans / Heads
This setting determines how channels are activated in the Programmer. If set to Chans then when an
attribute of a head is modified only that channel is affected. If set to Heads then when an attribute of a
head is modified all the channels of that head are activated in the programmer. The channels are activated
using the value that they were at before they were last cleared from the programmer.
