To patch a head at a specific address use @. For example to patch 10 dimmers at DMX address 20 key in 10@20 . To patch to the
2 nd universe use 10@2-20 . To patch at the first free address on a universe other than the first universe use +, e.g. for the second
universe use 10@+2-1.
If this is the first patch you have patched then MagicQ will prompt you whether to add the head into the visualiser. Pressing yes
will create a visualiser head within the show file, so that you can see the head in the MagicQ visualiser.
To patch more heads, just repeat the above process.
To patch a dimmer, simply press CHOOSE DIM/MEDIA, select Generic Dimmer, and then patch one or more dimmers as above.
In the Patch Window all the fields coloured yellow can be configured. To modify a field, first move the cursor to the field, then
input the new value using the keypad and keyboard, and finally press ENTER.
In this way you can modify DMX address, head number, head name and gel for each of your patched heads.
