This tutorial starts a new show and patches 44 dimmers.
• Close all the windows by holding SHIFT and pressing CLOSE.
• Open the Setup Window by pressing the SETUP button.
• Change the View to VIEW SETTINGS using the first top soft button.
• Press the NEW SHOW soft button
• You will then be prompted to erase the show from memory. This will not erase any shows that have previously
been saved to disc – only the current show that is in memory. For this demo just press Yes to confirm.
• Now you will be prompted which mode to use. Users that are familiar with Hog II systems should choose Hog II
Warp. All other users should choose Normal.
• All show data and patch will be cleared and the show settings will be set according to the mode selected. The
different modes simply choose slightly different console settings. All MagicQ features can be accessed from any
of the modes.
• Open the Patch Window by pressing the PATCH button. The window should be empty as there are no items
patched.
