MagicQ User Manual 86 Version 1.4.9.0
9 Palettes
The MagicQ supports a comprehensive palette system for easy access to your favourite looks. When intelligent
heads are patched, the console automatically generates palettes for the patched heads.
There are three types of palettes corresponding to Colour, Beam and Position. Each palette supports up to 1000
different entries.
9.1 Using Palettes
To use a palette, select the heads you wish to apply the change to. Then open the required palette by selecting
one of the Colour, Beam or Position Windows.
From within the window select a palette entry. That palette entry will be applied to all the selected heads.
The first 10 palette entries displayed in each Palette window are automatically available on the buttons above
the touch screen. For playing back shows, this enables the palettes to be "bumped" using real buttons rather
than the touch screen. You an use the CURSOR UP and CURSOR down buttons to adjust which palette entries
are at the top of the window, hence which ones are available on the buttons.
In the Beam Window the first 4 soft buttons above the touch screen are used for selecting the Beam Page 1 to 4
– the rest of the soft buttons are used for selecting the palette entries.
Palette entries that contain data for the currently selected heads are shown in white. Palette entries that do not
have any data for the currently selected heads are shown in grey.
9.2 Recording Palettes
To record a palette entry, select the heads you wish to apply the change to. Then open the required palette
by selecting one of the Colour, Beam or Position Windows.
