• Initially the Cue Stack has no name – so MagicQ displays the number of the Cue Stack (in this case CS38) above
the fader. The number in the top right is the number of steps in the Cue Stack – in this case (1).
• To name the Cue Stack press the SET button and then press the S button of the Playback. MagicQ opens a
keyboard where you can enter in the name. In this case we will name it “Test”.
• Now make a new look in the Programmer – select colour “Magenta” and position “Up”.
• Record a 2
nd
Cue on the Playback by pressing REC and then pressing the S button above the Playback.
• The Cue Stack now indicates (2) in the top right corner to show you have 2 Cues and it also shows the Ids of the
current Cue (1.00) and the next Cue (2.00).
• Press the CLEAR button to clear the Programmer. Raise the fader of the Playback – the Cue Stack will run. If you
are in normal mode it will default to a chase. If you are in Hog II Warp then it will default to a timed cue Stack
and you must press the GO (>) button to step between the 2 steps.
• Double click the S button of the Playback to open the Cue Stack Window for that Playback.
• It is possible to change between a Chase and Cue Timing using the CHASE TIMING and CUE TIMING top soft
buttons.
• To name the individual steps double click on the Cue Text field and enter a name.
