@mokaByls thanks for the debugging and finding the issue on mac os.

Here is a version that works on mac os as well:

What does it do?

Andreas · Feb 26th 2023

it basically does the same as LearnSpeed.

Assign plugin to an exec button with the key function "Call"

the main difference is that you can configure how the average BPM is calculated and when it is applied to the speedmaster.

e.g.

how many beats should be sampled and averaged, before actually adjusting the speedmaster [minsamples]

how many historical beat-samples should be considered when calculation the average [maxsamples]

how much deviation is allow for a beat to be a valid sample and included in the average [maxdeviation]

local maxdeviation, minsamples, maxsamples, speedmaster = 0.5, 4, 12, 1

the progress of the beat sampling is shown in the system monitor window.

Thanks Andreas for this plugin ! However, on mac, onPC version 1.8.8.2, if I load it in a show (existing or new) and then "tap" on the plugin, after the 2nd or 3rd time, the software crashes completely. I have to restart it. Is it only me?

Don't know if there is any issue with mac.

It is not a complex plugin, hopefully someone else can chime in if it works on their mac or not.

Can you please get in contact with your local distributor or tech support and report them the crash? Please provide your show file, crashlogs, and the exact steps to reproduce the crash?

I understand that if i want to contact my local distributor, I would have to buy GrandMA equipment ? Because I haven't bought GrandMA equipment yet. For the moment, I am training on the OnPC version.

You should not have to own equipment to contact your local distributor.

i have a Mac M1 and it crashes second time I press the macro.

Andreas · Mar 24th 2023

maybe there is a os related bug with the grandMA API function Time().

if you run this simple script

return function()

local timestamp = Time()

Echo(tostring(timestamp))

end

does it also crash ?

if not, does it in the system monitor display the same time as the online time, but in seconds ?

e.g.

LUA 2m15.123 : 135.123456

or something else e.g.

LUA 2m16.543 : nil

Might have to describe to me how. I took your 4 lines and saved an .xml file called time. Put it in the plugins folder. open up plugin pool. right clicked inported time. tried to run it and the command line and sytem info just says "call plugin 2". Is there something else that i am supposed to do? New to MA3 style of plugins versus copy and paste it in like MA 2.

Andreas · Mar 24th 2023

rightclick in empty tile in plugin pool

press onscreen AddLuaComponent button

press onscreen Edit button

paste the lua code in the component text editor

press save

close plugin editor

call plugin

ispeedyg · Mar 24th 2023

copy. I found that edit while playing around. did what you said. First run said LUA at the beginning and some numbers after. putting up a portion of screen shot.

Andreas · Mar 24th 2023

and second run crashes ?

ispeedyg · Mar 24th 2023

yes. no matter how fast or slow i click the second time.

But i do see it saying something about waiting for second click

Andreas · Mar 24th 2023

try if this alternative way of getting the time works better on mac os:

local socket = require('socket')

local Time = function() return socket.gettime() end

return function()

local timestamp = Time()

Echo(tostring(timestamp))

end

if so, copy the two first lines into the beginning of the spinal tap plugin

ispeedyg · Mar 24th 2023

Here you go SS.

Andreas · Mar 24th 2023

a screenshot after the first call does not tell me much...

I assume then, that a second call still crashes the mac ?
