MagicQ User Manual 135 / 355
17.4 Activate/Release
17.4.1 Halt at last step
When set to Yes the Cue Stack halts at the last step in the Cue Stack. When set to No then the Cue Stack will return to the first
step after the last step.
17.4.2 Release after last step
When set to Yes the Cue Stack automatically releases after the last step in the Cue Stack has completed fading. When set to No
the Cue Stack must be released manually.
17.4.3 Release resets to first step
When set to Yes the Cue Stack always starts from the first step when the Cue Stack is activated. The setting “Release steps 1
step” is ignored.
When set to No the Cue Stack activates at the step it was on when it was last released.
17.4.4 Release steps 1 step
When set to Yes the Cue Stack activates at the step following the step the Cue Stack was on when it was last released.
When the setting “Release resets to first step” is set to Yes, this setting has no effect.
17.4.5 Release time
This is the time for channels to release when the Cue Stack is released (using the REL button or via fader/flash button). The exact
behaviour depends upon whether channels are active on other Playbacks. Intensity channels not used by other channels will fade
out using the release time.
The release time also affects channels that are released from Cue steps within a Cue Stack step – i.e. when the Cue Stack step
Tracking option is not set to LTP (“Rel old chans” = yes)
This setting can also be set in the End field in View Cue in the Cue Stack Window.
17.4.6 Activate on page change
When set to Yes, then this Cue Stack is activated when the page is changed to the page that this Cue Stack is assigned to.
If there is an active Cue Stack on this Playback then the new Cue Stack will only be activated if the old Cue Stack is set to release
on page change.
17.4.7 Release on page change
When set to Yes, then this Cue Stack is released when the page is changed to any page other than the page that this Cue Stack is
assigned to.
17.4.8 HTP always active (Use HTP)
When set to Yes then the fader always controls the Intensity (HTP) channels from the Cue Stack regardless of whether the Cue
Stack is activated. Whenever the fader is raised above zero the Intensity channels will affect the Output. The highest level from
this Cue Stack and any other Playbacks will determine the Output level for each channel.
This setting overrides the Advanced Setting “All Channels controlled LTP”.
This setting is similar to the Use HTP setting on some other consoles.
