MagicQ User Manual 302 / 355
42.11.4 Copy mode (linked/unlinked)
By default when you copy a Cue Stack, MagicQ creates a new Cue Stack but retains links to the old Cues – i.e. no new Cues are
made. Using SHIFT COPY and selecting Unlinked you can specify an unlinked copy whereby new Cues are made.
This setting allows the default Copy behaviour to be changed so that the copy is always unlinked unless SHIFT + COPY is
pressed and Unlinked is deselected.
The options are “linked”, “unlinked” and “unlinked, no state”.
The “unlinked, no state” option specifies that when Cues are copied within a Cue Stack only the “delta” values are copied not
the state of the Cue at that step.
42.11.5 Derive settings from previous Cue
This setting specifies how MagicQ sets the Cue settings for new Cues recorded on a Cue Stack.
When this setting is set to No, MagicQ uses the default Cue settings specified in the Step and Step Times tabs in the Cue Stack,
View Defaults view.
When this setting is set to Yes, MagicQ attempts to derive the setting Cue settings from the previous Cue in the Cue Stack. If the
Cue is the first in the Cue Stack then MagicQ uses the default Step and Step Times.
42.11.6 Hide Cue Store Ids (Qids)
MagicQ supports two different ids for Cues – the Cue Id of the Cue within the specific Cue Stack and the QId of the Cue within
the Cue Store.
Many users record Cues directly to Cue Stacks on Playbacks and do not need to use the Cue Store. These users are only concerned
with the Cue Id in the Cue Stack.
When this setting is set to Yes, MagicQ hides the QId from the Cue Store from the Cue Stack Windows and Cue Windows.
42.11.7 Expand palettes to same head type
This setting allows palettes to be automatically expanded to heads of the same type. This enables palettes to be built up on a
single head and then expanded to all of the patched heads of that type.
It is possible to choose just Colours and Beams to be expanded or all Palettes. Palettes are expanded when patching a new head
and when recording palettes.
42.11.8 Heads moved aside are unpatched
This setting determines that heads are unpatched rather than moved aside when repatching and morphing.
When set to Yes, when repatching, any heads that need to be moved aside to make room for new heads are unpatched.
42.12 Playback Settings
42.12.1 Grand Master function
The Grand Master can be configured to control only the level of preset faders, as accessed through the Intensities Window Preset
View . Alternatively, it may be configured to control only the level of programmer data, or it may control both. In each of these
configurations it does not control playbacks or add/swap levels.
When set as a Grand Master it controls Playbacks and the Programmer.
