MagicQ User Manual 36 Version 1.3.0.0
MagicQ allows the user to define the Locate and Default values for each attribute of each patched
heads.
The Locate values are the values that are used when the Locate button is pressed. The Default values
are the values that are output when a channel is not in the programmer and no playback is controlling a
channel. Note that the Setup Window option “Chans default to Locate vals” must be enabled for this
mode of operation.
By default, the Locate values and Default values are taken from the personality of the patched head –
these typically put the position to centre, beam open, colour white and intensity at full.
These values can be re-programmed by creating a Cue that represents the desired Locate Values and/or
a Cue that represents the desired Default Values. Simply record a Cue into the Cue Store and then press
the SET LOC CUE or SET DEF CUE soft buttons. The Cue is indicated as Default or Locate by a D or
L after the Q number.
Only one Cue can be the Default Cue and only one Cue can be the Locate Cue – however one cue can
be both the Default Cue and the Locate Cue.
It is not necessary to program all the different attributes into the Locate Cue or the Default Cue – simply
program the values that you want to be different from the Locate vals in the Personality. For instance to
record a default position with all heads positioned towards FOH position, simply record a Cue with the
FOH position data and press the SET DEF CUE soft button.
If you wish to change the Locate Cue or the Default Cue then simply re-record the Cue. If you update
Palettes used in the Cue, or modify the Cue directly from the Cue Window then you may need to reset
the Cue in the Cue Store before the change takes place. Press the CLEAR DEF CUE and SET DEF
CUE for the desired Cue.
