MagicQ Software Change Log 110 / 121
Chapter 73
Version 1.5.0.7
73.1 New Functions
73.1.1 Catalyst
Improved Catalyst personality and personality thumbnail retrieval. The original thumbnail retrieval algorithm is still available by
setting the version number in Setup, View System, View Media to 1. Any other version number will use the new algorithm.
73.1.2 Morphing Multi Part Heads
MagicQ now supports full morphing between multi part heads, from single part heads to multi part heads, and from multi part
heads to single part heads.
When morphing between multi part heads, if the new head has less parts than the original head then the excess parts in the
original heads will be ignored. If the new head has more parts than the original head then the excess parts in the new head will
be a repeat of the parts from the original head.
This also enables easy changing of mode of multi part heads which was not previously possible e.g. when changing a Thomas
Pixeline from 18 pixel to 9 pixel mode, or when changing a Chromalec Jarag from 25 to 31 channel mode.
73.1.3 Icons
Modified setting of Icons so that it more closely matches setting of names. Press SHIFT + SET and then choose a window item
or playback to set the item for. Once the icon has been chosen it now gets assigned directly to the item without having to press
ENTER.
Removing intensity levels from a Cue
Support for removing intensity levels directly from Cues in the Cue Window.
Also added a shortcut for removing an intensity from a Cue similar to the existing shortcut for adding a level to a Cue. Currently
you can add a level to the current cue on a Cue stack by holding the S button and typing the new level for the channel e.g. hold S
and type 1 @ FULL ENTER.
To remove a level to the current cue on a Cue stack hold the S button and set the channel at the level . . e.g. hold S and type 1 @
. . ENTER.
73.2 Bug Fixes
Fixed lock up that could occur on MagicQ consoles when using the timers and counters in the Pixel Mapper. This problem did
not affect Windows version. #0001244
