Curve Editor
MagicQ includes a curve editor to allow users to create their own dimmer fade curves and effects curves. Curves are not specific
to any head, they can be used on any head.
Note the Curve editor is not available on Compact consoles or Pro2010 consoles. User curves can be used on these consoles, but
not edited.
User Curves 1 to 10 correspond to the user dimmer curves that were supported in previous versions of MagicQ. These will still
be automatically loaded from the user dimmer csv files (e.g. show\heads\dimmercurveuser1.csv) if they exist.
User Curves 1 to 20 can also be used in the FX Editor (FX Window, Edit FX) as part of FX steps. Select View Chans and set the
Curve filed. This allows completely custom FX waveforms to be generated.
User Curves are saved within the show file and can be imported from other show files using Setup, Import Show, Advanced, and
by deselecting all options except for "Import Settings". This will import show settings including macros and automations from
the show file.
