MagicQ User Manual 38 Version 1.3.0.0
The console supports theatre style key entry – so you can set head 1 to 40% by typing
1 @ 4 ENTER
and you can set head 1 to 4% by typing
1 @ .4 ENTER or 1 @ 04
Note that if the "Auto enter on keypad intensity set" option is set, you do not need to press ENTER after
you have entered a 2 digit level. The console knows that you are setting an intensity due to the @ key.
Valid levels are 0% to 100%.
On MagicQ PC you can use > to indicate THRU and # to indicate FULL.
6.3.1 Setting fade times from the keypad
Fade times for intensity channels can be entered from the keypad. This can be done when setting
levels, e.g. to set heads 1 to 4 at 80% with fade time of 5 seconds:
1>4@80/5
Or without changing the level
1>4@/5
To set a delay time and a fade time (e.g. delay 2 seconds, fade 5 seconds)
1>4@/2/5
Ensure that “Auto Enter on Keypad Intensity Set” is set to “No” for this to function correctly.
6.4 Using Selected Heads
When you use the keypad to modify heads, by default this does not modify which heads are selected. This
ensures that you can be busking moving heads whilst modifying individual dimmer levels at the same time.
However, at any time you can set the levels of the intensities of the currently selected heads using the
keypad. To set the selected heads to 70% key in:
@ 70
This method also supports standard key entry syntax such as + and – for relative changes.
You can change which heads are selected at any time either through the Group Window – see Selecting
Heads.
In the Intensities Window you can change which heads are selected by moving the cursor to a fader and
pressing ENTER. You can also select/deselect heads by holding down SHIFT and selecting faders. When
faders are shown with a thick stem they are selected. Holding SHIFT and pressing the fader toggles the
selection of the fader.
