MagicQ

MagicQ is a professional lighting control and design software used primarily by theatre technicians, live event producers, concert lighting designers and architectural lighting professionals. It provides a comprehensive suite for programming and controlling stage lighting rigs, managing DMX universe output, designing lighting cues and sequences, and running live shows. The software bridges the gap between high-cost professional consoles and budget-conscious venues and independent operators, and is widely used in educational theatre programmes, small-to-medium venues, touring productions and corporate events.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">MagicQ is developed by Chamsys Ltd, a UK-based lighting-control software company that continues to ship regular updates for their products. However, we could not find clear evidence in the available search results that a native Apple Silicon build has been released yet. If you are currently running an Intel-only version of MagicQ under Rosetta 2, contact Chamsys directly or check their official download page at secure.chamsys.co.uk to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build is available for your version. This is important because Apple will remove Rosetta 2 support entirely in macOS 28 (September 2028), at which point an Intel-only copy will no longer launch on a Mac. If a native build is not yet available, ask Chamsys for their roadmap — given the active development of their software, they may be planning an Apple Silicon release soon, but you should verify the timeline so you can plan accordingly.
