MagicQ User Manual 72 Version 1.4.9.0
In addition the window enables selection of palette values for the attribute type using the touch screen. When
heads are recorded the system automatically generates palettes for each attribute type. You can record new
palette entries, or modify existing ones as you see fit.
In the Colour Window there is a COL MIX soft button which gives access to libraries of pre-programmed
colours. Pressing the COL MIX soft button toggles between the normal palette view and the colour mixing
view. In the colour mixing view you can select a colour using the touch screen. The COL TYPE soft button
enables the user to choose between the default colour library, the Lee colour library or the Rosco colour library.
To modify a 16bit parameter in high (i.e. 16 bit resolution), hold SHIFT and turn the appropriate encoder.
7.7.2 Using Attribute Banks
Attribute Banks is a traditional way to categorise attributes. The attributes are divided up into banks of two
attributes each, and then can be accessed using two rotary encoders. Select the required heads and then press
CTRL and the FX (was ATTR) button to open the Attribute Window.
On the MagicQ console the attribute banks are supported through the Attribute Window. In this Window the
top soft buttons are used to select the attribute bank. The leftmost soft button toggles between the two possible
pages of attribute banks.
