v6.2 Stable
User Interface Changes
-
Executes now override the intensities of the fixtures that they are controlling. This is to allow 'dipless crossfades' in 10Scene installations. Usually fixture intensities are controlled using the 'Highest Takes Precedence' rule, however the rules have been changed slightly so that if an Execute is triggered which sets a fixture’s intensity lower than a fader playback the fixture will go to that new lower level instead of remaining at the higher level.
-
The network switches in the
10Scene Settings
Window are now greyed out on QuickQ Designer. TheEnable Rack Sockets
option is only active on the QuickQ Rack, it is greyed out on other consoles. -
Ten Scene Zone QR Code PDF’s can now be saved to USB using the Remote App.
Bug Fixes
-
There is now no need to send a MIDI
note off
after sending a MIDInote on
in order to pressGO
. Previously you had to send a MIDInote off
between every MIDInote on
message in order to step through a cue stack. This is no longer necessary. -
The
Change Password
dialog did not work after an incorrect password had been entered. -
Fix occasional resets on the Remote App when entering and changing passwords.
-
Fix issue with the
Event
wizard where the new Event would get created even when the Dialog was cancelled. -
Fix issue where the flash buttons on the QuickQ 30 console would act upon the wrong fixtures.
-

v6.0 Stable
10Scene Window
QuickQ v6 adds full support for the SnakeSys 10Scene system. The new 10Scene
Window
allows users to configure 10Scene wall panels, gateways and zones.
10Scene Panel
The new 10Scene Panel
tab allows users to emulate a wall panel in any of the
10 zones, or control all of them.
Contact Events
Each of the four 10Scene connectors on the back of the QuickQ Rack has a contact
pin that can be configured to trigger an Execute
or Playback
or join two
zones together so that the Wall Panels for both zones control the lights in both
zones.
Gateways
The Gateways
tab can be used to connect extra 10Scene wall panels to a QuickQ
Console or Rack. Each Gateway has two 10Scene sockets and can control contacts
1 & 2. The firmware on the Gateway can be upgraded from the Gateways
tab.
Settings
The 10Scene system can be configured from the 10Scene Settings
tab.
Connections to gateways and the buttons on the QuickQ Rack can be enabled in the
Settings
tab, and the 10Scene mode can be selected. When zoned control is
selected the zones can be joined in this window.
There are also buttons that allow the zone of each 10Scene wall panel to be set.
Remote Control
QuickQ now has much expanded remote control possibilities. There is a new
Protocols
tab in the Network Settings
where Ethernet Remote Control and Open
Sound Control can be turned on and off. There is also a log of messages that
have been received.
Open Sound Control (OSC)
Playbacks and 10Scene zones can be controlled by the OSC protocol. All the commands available from the Ethernet Remote protocol are also available from OSC. QuickQ can receive commands and also provide feedback to OSC applications such as TouchOSC
Ethernet Remote Control
The Ethernet Remote Protocol has had some new commands added. Using the protocol it is possible to:
-
Set levels on
Playbacks
-
Go
andPause
Playbacks
-
Jump to a cue on a
Playback
-
Press a button on a
10Scene
wall panel.
MIDI Control
MIDI can be used to start, stop, Go
, Pause
and set levels on playbacks.
QuickQ now uses the velocity of a note to set the level of a playback. A note
from the next octave (starting at note 72) will press Go
on a playback, while
a note on the next octave (note 84 onwards) will press Pause
on a playback.
New Features
-
It is now possible to edit fade times of
Executes
,Playbacks
andCues
directly, without using theCue Stack Window
. It is also possible to set times on multiple cues at once. SelectFade Times
in theAction
menu to edit the times. -
It is now possible to set release times of
Playbacks
andExecutes
. In previous versions theFade Out
time has been used as the release time, now it is a separate parameter. Release times can be edited from theFade Times
Action Dialog. -
The
Files Window
has a newLoad Show and Console Settings
button. This will set the DMX networking, 10Scene mode and other console settings as they were when the show file was saved. The button is only available when theAccess Level
is set toAdmin
.
