Version 6 Change Notes

v6.3 Stable

Bug Fixes

  • Fix issue with QuickQ Designer where it changed the maximum number of DMX universes when loading shows from a QuickQ 30 or QuickQ Rack.

  • Fix occasional reset when opening the Execute Window on the Remote App.

  • Fix issue where Execute Items would get stuck on after the Patch Window had been opened. #28396

  • Fix issue where the cue marker in the Cue Stack Window would show the wrong cue when the window was first opened. #28441

  • Enable the OSC Flash command #28494

  • Fix the crossfade fader in Theatre Mode, this was broken in v6.2.

  • Fix Console reset when the new TouchOSC App is running on the network.

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. The Enable 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 MIDI note on in order to press GO. Previously you had to send a MIDI note off between every MIDI note 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.

  • Fix issue where Cue Stack window comment fields on iOS QuickQ Remote Control app did not accept changes.

  • Fix for RDM autopatch. This was broken in v6.0.

  • Fix occasional reset when using RDM auto patch. The reset would occur when the fixtures had the same RDM Device ID.

  • Fix reset when recording Executes. #27437

  • Fix issue where the buttons on the QuickQ Rack were disabled after loading a show file saved in QuickQ v5.

  • Fix reset when unpacking heads.all files, #27931

  • Fix reset when recording to a 10x1 Execute Window, #26248

  • Fix issue where fixtures patched to the highest channel (1-512 on QuickQ 10, 2-512 on QuickQ 20 and 4-512 on QuickQ 30 and Rack) would be removed when the show was loaded. #28020

  • Fix translations of Access Level menu.

  • Fix occasional reset when editing long cue stacks. #0027048

v6.1 Stable

Bug Fixes

  • Fix issue where Generic RGB fixtures where not patched properly and had no intensity control.

  • Fix issue where RDM autopatch did not successfully patch 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 and Pause 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 and Cues directly, without using the Cue Stack Window. It is also possible to set times on multiple cues at once. Select Fade Times in the Action menu to edit the times.

  • It is now possible to set release times of Playbacks and Executes. In previous versions the Fade Out time has been used as the release time, now it is a separate parameter. Release times can be edited from the Fade Times Action Dialog.

  • The Files Window has a new Load 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 the Access Level is set to Admin.

User interface changes

  • The 6 Dots button is now labelled Action.

  • There were some mentions of Heads instead of Fixtures. These have now all been changed to Fixtures.

  • The Settings Window now has a separate tab for remote protocols. The UI for setting the console IP address has been improved.

  • Fixtures in the Layout window show their intensity as a number as well as a bar graph.

  • Groups in the Layout Window now have more space to show more text.

Bug Fixes

  • Fix for connecting the Android Remote App using a manual IP address on a device with mobile data.

  • Fix text on Apple Silicon(M1) Macs.

  • QuickQ v5 set the release time on playbacks as well as executes. This could cause unexpected behaviour when the fader was pulled down quickly. Release times are now set explicitly in the Fade Times Dialog. #26543

  • The New Show dialog now shows a warning if the show has not been saved yet.

  • Fix 10Scene QR code save dialog to use wired IP address if WiFi is disabled.

  • The size of the Execute Grid is limited to 10x10. Shows created in MagicQ and loaded into QuickQ will have the grid truncated to 10x10 if they were larger.

  • Fix some issues where the Remote App would disconnect when switching access levels.

  • Fix patching RGB VDIM fixture on Windows
