9.15 Fan Mode
The FAN button enables a different mode of operation of the encoders whereby instead of encoder changes being applied to each
selected head in a linear fashion, changes are applied in a fan. Positive changes fan the heads apart whilst negative changes fan
the heads together. Fan mode cannot be used when Single mode is are active since fanning only makes sense when more than
one head is under control.
Pressing and holding the FAN button enters FAN mode temporarily. Releasing the FAN button returns to the normal mode.
When you press and hold FAN you get a toolbar on the screen that gives you direct access to fanning options. On MagicQ PC
you can press SHIFTFAN to bring up the FAN toolbar.
There are 3 types of FAN
Asymmetric (default, as in previous s/w) – fans from centre asymmetric
Symmetric – fans from the centre symmetric
End – fans from the end
It is possible to use “Parts” for fanning parts so that the fan is replicated across the selected heads. For 2’s, 3’s select the 2 Parts
or 3 parts. For higher number of parts, use the N parts option and entering a number on the keypad. In FAN mode the current
FAN type and parts is shown in the status display window (Fan-A, Fan-S, Fan-E).
It is possible to use “Segments” for fanning segments – adjacent heads do the same fanning.
It is possible to use “Groups” for fanning. When fanning by groups, the fan is performed on each group in turn as if the group
contained the only selected heads. This enables a fan to be simultaneously applied to groups of different sizes.
Fanning by segments overrides fanning by parts. Fanning by groups overrides fanning by parts or segments.
The following short-cuts also work:
Hold FAN + press LOCATE. Returns to default FAN type – asymmetric.
Hold FAN + press NEXT HEAD. Chooses next FAN type.
Hold FAN + press PREV HEAD. Chooses previous FAN type.
