In shared/resource/ you will find all the library files that MA Lighting ships with the software.

The designated place for your custom library files is gma3_library/. This folder is independent of the different versions.

The manual is now also up-to-date.

Unfortunately this is a known bug at moment.

You could have a look at the option keyword /Path:

/Path Option Keyword - grandMA3 User Manual - Help pages of MA Lighting International GmbH

And: You can only export something that is part of the show file. External things cannot be exported, they are already outside the show file.

Maybe you have a space in the name of the speed master?

At least picking a speed master in the calculator that has a space in its name does not work.

But turning the encoder to the desired speed master or entering the number in the calculator works.

Select fixture change pan and tilt so that they are correct again-> store offset please

You have to output a cue or preset in order to be able to use the store offset funcgtionality:

Select fixtures, call preset or cue, change pan/tilt accordingly so that the output on the real stage fits the intended position, store offset.

Keep an eye on the next version.

One idea, why they could do this: If everybody could use own hardware that emulates the button presses of the real hardware, the need to buy hardware from MA Lighting would decrease. The whole business model of selling hardware and offering the software for free could then not be realized anymore...

This is intended. You either edited some macros behind each other without closing the editor in between (this is a known issue) or you executed some commands with the ChangeDestination keyword.

You can go back to the root which will be the thing with "Admin [Fixture]>" in the command by executing ChangeDestination Root (abbreviation: cd root)

Unfortunately, this is not implemented at moment. You have to delete user variables one by one.

Maybe you can post a screenshot of the command line feedback after you executed GetUserVar *?

In this case, we can try to find the correct syntax/names together.

Please note also, that the commands you posted above never work. A space between the keyword and the * is missing in order to get the keywords detected correctly.

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?

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?

Sorry, but I don't get your issue fully. Can you please post an image where you show us your problem?

Until know I had no need to use DC Remote inputs on gMA3, but I must say I find the manual a little bit confusing.

Probably my lack of expertise on electronics doesn't help neither...

But it mentions the use of a potentiometer +10V DC:

https://help2.malighting.com/P…ote_in/en/1.8/dc%20remote

Using a potentiometer, I thought it would be possible to input more values than on/off only.

It would be great to have some images/photos of different projects using dc inputs or people sharing their knowledge on the subject.

Anyone has an idea if there is a good tutorial on the subject somwhere?

You are right. You can use a potentiometer or a fader (which is a linear potentiometer) to input into the grandMA3.

You can build a fader board to remote control faders of sequences.

Also, it could be doable to input a sound level (audience noise meter).

Hi

Which version do you use ? Transform is since 1.7 i think.

It was introduced in v1.8:

Release Notes 1.8 - Release Notes - Help pages of MA Lighting International GmbH

Did the Capture support also tell you when they plan do implement the interface selection into their software? Then there would be no need anymore to do this manually in the way they told you now.

At moment incoming MTC timecode is jittering when you use a framerate of 25 fps. At which framerate do you send MTC from Reaper?

You can only assign sequences to layout elements.

Set Root "ShowData"."UserProfiles"."Default"."UserAttributePreferences"."Tilt" Property "EncoderResolution" "Fine"

This sets the Encoder Resolution of the Tilt attribute in the Default user profile to Fine.

Note: You set the encoder resolution per attribute and not per encoder!

These old nodes to not get the grandMA2 files. Version 1.82 is the latest one.

You can update these nodes also from the DMX Nodes tab in grandMA2 by tapping 2Port SW Update in the bottom right corner.

But this looks all fine so far in your setup.

What you should do: Make the node listen to your session. At moment you have session ID 31, but the node listens to session ID 1.

So change the Session ID/Network cell in the DMX Nodes tab from 1 to 31. Then it should work from my experience.

You have also to tell the system on which XLR port RDM shall be used. Threfore go to the Output Configuration and change the Mode from Out to RDM on the desired RDM ports.
