MagicQ User Manual 74 Version 1.4.9.0
The head control buttons situated to the right of the touch screen enable the individual head to be selected
quickly. Once a number of heads have been selected for programming, the head control buttons controls
how changes are applied to those heads. By default changes are applied to all the selected heads.
On MagicQ you first select the overall selection of heads you want to control using Groups or keypad
selection, then you use the head control buttons to sub-select within that overall selection.
The title bar of the Group, Position, Colour and Beam Windows show the currently selected heads.
7.11.1 Single Mode
Pressing NEXT HEAD, PREV HEAD or SINGLE enters Single mode whereby only one head from the
selected heads is operated on at a time. When Single mode is first entered control is given to the first
selected head – i.e. the first head the user selected after no heads were selected. Note that if the heads
were selected using a group then the first head will be the first head that was selected when the group was
recorded. Single mode is indicated by a LED lit on the SINGLE button.
In Single mode changes made by the encoders or through selecting Palettes only affect the one head that is
being controlled. The head is indicated by a * by the head number.
Once in Single mode, the NEXT HEAD and PREV HEAD buttons are used to transfer control between
the selected heads. Pressing the ALL button returns the head control area to the default mode whereby all
selected heads are controlled.
In Single mode, Locate only affects the one head that is being controlled.
7.11.2 Odd/Even
Odd/Even mode is similar to Single mode except that instead of only a single head being controlled, half
of the heads are controlled. Odd/Even mode is indicated by a LED lit on the ODD/EVEN button.
Pressing ODD/EVEN selects the odd heads. Pressing NEXT HEAD or PREV HEAD toggles between the
odd and even heads. Pressing the ALL button returns the head control area to the default mode whereby
all selected heads are controlled.
Holding the ODD/EVEN button brings up the Odd/Even toolbar for quick selection of odd/even or 3s, 4s,
5s. On MagicQ PC pressing SHIFT + Odd/Even also opens the toolbar.
Press SHIFT + ODD/EVEN to increase the mode to 3s or more.
