It is possible to repatch Heads from within the Output window, making it easier to modify a show to a festival or house rig.
Open the Output Window in View Plan and View Grid. Choose Output Type of Patch.
The REPATCH soft button can be used to repatch Heads.
Click on a cell to select a Head. Then press REPATCH and enter the new DMX address.
Multiple cells can be selected before pressing REPATCH, using SHIFT, CTRL or by dragging over cells.
When Head Test is on (Soft button C) then repatching a Head will cause the test to follow the changed DMX, making it easy to prove that the new address is correct.
ALT + encoder now performs a medium fine change on the attribute in the programmer. SHIFT + encoder continues to make a fine change on the attribute. The medium fine gives a more sensitive change - i.e. less turns of the encoder are required.
There is a new Encoder sensitivity option in Setup, View Settings, Keypad & Encoders.
When set to "Normal" encoders operate as in previous software.
When set to "Slow" the encoders are slower than normal - i.e. they are less sensitive - a larger encoder change is required to make the same attribute change.
When set to "Slow" (Med Fine) the encoders operate as normal, but when SHIFT is pressed they operate at medium fine instead of fine. This option is provided for users who are used to using SHIFT for fine, but who want the fine to be a bit more sensitive.
When set to "Remote Slow" the encoders operate as normal, except when controlled from MagicQ Remote Control on a remote PC such as a MS Surface. This enables greater sensitivity when using the remote control. Note that this only affects MagicQ Remote Control, it does not affect the MagicQ Remote app on iOS/Android.
The default is "Normal".
Note that this option does not affect attributes set as Slow Encoder in the personality such as gobo wheels and stepped control parameters - they continue to operate as before.
Added Art-Net ports view showing each port of Art-Net nodes on the network enabling easy setting of individual port configuration and names. The Art-Net view in Setup, View Status has been removed.
Split sACN view into VIEW CIDs (discovery of sACN universes on the network) and VIEW ENDPOINTS (RDMNet Endpoints).
Improve the filtering of the firmware folder when manually choosing firmware so that only firmware files relevant to the particular panel / interface are shown.
Enable Latest Firmware soft button in both the USB interfaces and the Hardware tabs in Setup, View System, View Status.
Show MQ50, MQ70, MQ80, Mini Connect and Compact Connect in the Hardware tab in Setup, View System, View Status. Previously only interfaces for Stadium consoles were shown in the Hardware tab.
Improve the description in File Manager for files in the firmware folder to show which panel / interface the file is for and to clearly indicate the firmware version number.
When Mini Connect and Compact Connect are on older firmware with known issues, prompt the user to upgrade and if confirmed, then carry out the upgrade automatically.
Modified the firmware version status fields on Stadium products to show the firmware type number e.g. [310-022]. #0037750
Added latest firmware files for MagicQ console front panels - CH346_V1.52, 310-022_V0.19, 310-023_V0.13 and 310-025_V0.10.
Added support for saving the active Gel and Source type in the show file.
Added a sqrt dimmer curve that can compensate for the E910FC gamma curve.
Added support for FWP 1000W and FTM 2000W Source types for when selecting Gels.
Added extra Cue Stack macro commands for incrementing and decrementing Speed Master BPM. Also improved accuracy of Cue Stack macro to set absolute BPM using Cue Stack Macro.
H 10 , <Speed Master> , 16, <BPM increment> H 10 , <Speed Master> , 17, <BPM decrement>
Added shortcuts for copying and pasting on consoles
Added support for displaying Current Cue ID, Next Cue ID and remaining Timecode in Exec Windows using Assign Special, Timecode+Clock+PB.
Added Import Default Palettes option to Import Palettes. #0038156
Added ChamSys Remote Ethernet Protocol options to echo back the command received.
Don’t modify chase delay settings when modifying crossfade on Chase set with fixed user delays unless we reach 0% or 100% crossfade.
When a MagicDMX interface is fitted this is now shown in the application title bar.
It is now possible to modify the timecode offset on a Cue Stack using an encoder. In the Cue Stack window hold SHIFT and turn encoder D. #0031558
Improved decoding of MIDI notes and MIDI CC in the Log View in the Help Window.
When loading show from File Manager show Command Log if load fails to load correctly. Previously MagicQ showed the Command Log when shows failed to load when loading from the LOAD SHOW in Setup window, but not from the File Manager.
Whilst setting a value in the Cue Stack Window, the Window will not automatically display the current Cue. Previously it was possible to set the incorrect field if the Cue Stack jumped to a new Cue whilst the keyboard/select dialog was active.
Fix for executing of part cues using Cue Stack wait times. The complete fade would be executed in the wait time rather than allowing overlapping fades. Only affected 1.9.5.x versions. #0038091
Fix for manual placement of elements of Duplicated Heads in non Multi Element Grids. In previous versions if the Heads were repatched then the grids elements 2 and higher would be reset to element 1. #0037843
Fix for recording a macro to open the Timeline window. #0037741
Fix for heads file update in MagicQ PC in Windows OS when the software was installed to the Program Files folder. #0016420
Fix for moving files in the File Manager. #0037110
Fix for redrawing the execute windows 2 and 3 when on the Internal Playback screen for MQ500M panel and console. 0037847
Fix for Gel selection for Multi-Emitter and 16 bit fixtures.
Fix for Pixel Map col mix mode Priority > 0. When applying RGB it now takes Priority on each of the RGB channels if any of the RGB channels is greater than 0. Previously Red, Green, and Blue were treated independently.
Fix for Cue Stack as a Speed Master in the Execute Window getting released when changing page with main NEXT PAGE / PREV PAGE buttons. #0038028
When Tracker RX protocol is set to Internal, enable tracking if a Generic Tracker or Generic Movement is active.
Ensure MQ500M with greater than 64 universes in use recovers gracefully after a software reset.
Hide VDIM heads in Patch when the Hide VDIMs option is set for complex Heads that have some inbuilt Intensities and some VDIMs.
Fixed refreshing of Cue Window when FX Palettes were modified in the FX Window. #0038157
Fix for releasing to Cues using fade times after the Cues have been updated. If a Cue with fade times was active but completed fading on a Playback and it was updated then subsequent releases to that Cue would use a fade time, even though the Cue had already completed fading.
Fix for remote control of Stadium consoles from PCs using Full Panel mode. In windows with tabs such as Setup, View Settings and Patch, View Heads the scaling was incorrect and mouse clicking on the remote would click the wrong cell. Both the remote and target must be upgraded to this version to resolve the issue.
Fix for Group Cues setting attributes to 0 when they are not already in the programmer. #0037304
When multiple groups are selected with some of them having elements, then fix setting intensity using soft buttons on to include the heads without the elements. #0038202
Fixed reset when opening newer style windows (e.g. Plot Window) for the first time in a session from the Window Size window. #0038255
Fix for occasional reset when first doing RDM discovery in Net Manager window. #0038188
Fix for Mini Connect and Compact Connect when toggling playbacks and pausing. #0038056
Fix for DMX Output on Stadium Connect on Linux OS. #0037861
Fix for FX set as absolute not working. Affected versions 1.9.5.0 to 1.9.5.2. Only affected if Playbacks can add/subtract was set to No. Work around was to set Playbacks can add/subtract to Yes. #0038266
Avoid processing reset and shutdown automations when processing automs on start up. Previously these could cause restart loops.
Fix in Timeline for waveform drawing when the audio start timecode is greater than zero. #0037832
When using the Display Current Cue option and displaying a Cue in a long Cue Stack, then choosing a different Cue Stack with less Cues than fit in the whole window ensure all Cues are displayed from the first Cue.
Fix for import of Palettes with merge option selected from show files saved in reduced format. In previous versions the merge would not work correctly and could cause a reset.
When loading palettes after having done a LOAD SHOW + CONSOLE, the LOAD PALETTES will also load console settings. A work around is to restart the console after the LOAD SHOW + CONSOLE and before doing LOAD PALETTES.
When the Setup setting Select Multiple Groups was set to Multiple in One Go or Multiple Always, then in Patch, pressing ENTER on the first column to test a head would deselect the Head if the Head was already selected. Corrected so that the selection follows when the Head test is on, and deselected when off.
Fix for pasting multiple cells from one MagicQ window to another - the last cell(s) were not copied.
Fix for applying Intensity palettes with time when Cue Stacks have the channels already active. In previous versions the value would snap to 0 before fading. #0038395
In Net Sessions when making an Update, Patch Offset on one console, all consoles in the system could react very slowly for several minutes.
In Net Sessions when making multiple changes in the Slave, Patch window such as changing Head names or inverts, then other consoles on the system could react very slowly for several minutes.
In Net Sessions when creating an Exec Grid or an Output Grid on a Slave console, then after creating the Grid the first change to the Grid would be rejected with a Sync Fail message. The following changes would work ok.
Fix for reset that occurs when assigning special items to Exec Grid and then then cancelling out of the select dialog box. #0038522
Fix for tracking of FX through Cue Stacks - if a Cue was executed where a FX was only partially blocked by base levels - then if the FX was added in again on a new Cue the FX sometimes did not restart. This only occurred if the first channel in the FX had not been blocked and was still running as FX. This typically occurred when using Palette FX where some colour attributes were included in the FX (e.g. Colour Macro) but were not blocked as base values in the Cue.
Fix for reset caused when changing speed of movies on the Pixel Mapper when the movie resolution was greater than the grid resolution. Affected betas and stables released in 2023. #0038570
Fix for a sequence of Cues in a Cue Stack with the same simple Pixel Map FX but different speeds - the speed change was not being recognised. #0036032
Fix for tracking back of Simple Pixel Map FX. #0036523
Fix for flickering in Output and other windows where horizontal scroll bar was repeatedly shown / hidden due to column auto sizing. #0038541
Fix for Cue Stack macros that override fade times. In recent versions the Cues snapped regardless of the time in the Cue Stack macro. #0037511
Fix for Cue Stack control of audio gain through Dgain Cue Stack macro. Previously it only affected audio played per step, not audio assigned to the whole Cue Stack in the Cue Stack options.
Fix for Group Cues when using hightlight mode "Dim nons selected". Heads would get dimmed even if they had no intensity in the programmer. #0038591
Fix for MQ250M intermittently lagging on startup.
Fix for reducing noise from the display backlight on MQ50/MQ70 consoles.
Fix for default gels for patched heads. #0037857
Fixed issue with HSI fixtures not finding the default emitter data in Colour Picker. #0035701
Fix for windows not opening as last saved in recent versions - particularly fixed windows.
Fixed issue with Mini Connect and Compact Connect when direct DMX ports are assigned a universe higher than 2. #0038618
