In this tutorial I'll demonstrate how to use MagicQ to adapt existing file by modifying channels, what to pay attention to, tips and tricks that will help you creating perfectly working head/fixture file
I cover such topics as:
- channels
- ranges
- macros
- palettes
- fixture type
- resolution

Very good tutorial. Kind of got in a hurry in the end with the color; if you want here and put it there, change to this you will get that; don't forget if you do this you will get that. I mean come on you explained everything else well don't short change in the end.

Thank you for your tutorials! They are always very helpful.
I've managed to make the headfile for a moving head spot better step by step.
Some steps are missing...
The Gobo is rotating in the visualiser. But the speed control on a separate channel doesn't affect the virtual speed. Which informations are necessary for the visualiser(mqvis) to generate the desired effect?
I think Chan and Type are important as well as the correct ranges. Do Name and Icon take affect in vis? Or do i have to use Dep chan and or Dep val?

Thx. Great tutorial.
I am just missing info on multi-head fixtures, dependent channels, … maybe something for part 3?

Hello, we are a lighting manufacturing factory. I would like to create MagicQ lighting library files for all of our lighting products. I have already created many files related to other brands, such as SSL, SSL2, D4, CP2, FXT, XML and other formats. These console files all have software that can be edited on a computer! I searched for many download files on your official website, but couldn't find any information about how to use a light library editor on a computer. Could you please provide me with a download link for the MagicQ light library editor? Thank you.

hi. there is no such thing as a separate fixture editor. it's inbuilt into magicQ. so you have to install it and use Head Editor from within magicQ.

I would like to ask, after I have edited the light library, how do I export the file for my ChamSys console client to use?😀@@ChamSysProUsers
