Description

MagicQ is a cross-platform lighting software with a pretty big (18965 fixtures as of today) library. All fixtures ("heads" in their terminology) are included in a heads.all file – unfortunately that's binary, so it's difficult / impossible to reverse-engineer.

The software also includes a fixture editor.
