Hey guys, what would be the syntax for moving up (or down) a fader with OSC from a button press signal? Is it possible to have something incremental like every time the button is pressed the fader moves up (or down) a little?

If that is not possible, then what would be the syntax for adding fade time to the fader movement? I can move it now but it just snaps and we need it to be way slower.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey folks, setting up a show in v2.4.2.2

Was working away for four hours, saving frequently. Now, all the NPUs are crashing on connect, and OnPC crashes if I try to load the show off USB key.

Primary console behaves and loads the show sometimes, and we've saved it multiple times under different names,

But the remote session members still crash on connect.

Anyone have any idea of what could be causing this? Showfile is only 40mb, nothing wacky...

If I revert back to the original, base patched show, everything is fine.

I'd really rather not lose 4 hours of work and have to restart from base.

Hey folks,

Used to mostly doing selective flyouts or universal relative flyouts, but I’m shipping a festival tour with a op that’s kinda green and I want to avoid any unnecessary updates he might have to do.

I want to do a universal flyout with embedded presets of intensity, and start/finish position or zoom. I’m also still on 2.3.2.

When I make one universal phaser that way, it works great on the rig I program onto, but when I import another rig, redo the groups and recipes, even though the presets have been remade, sometimes the flyout is inverted, and looks like it’s taking the actual raw data and not the presets.

Any tips on how to approach this ?

Hello there,

Im currently doing a run of festivals, touring two of our own MA3 full suze consoles and four NPU's. All in v 2.3.2.0.

Every now and again the NPU's randomly drop out of the session then immediately rejoin. I've gone through the obvious checks (connections, cable replacement), I've pinged the NPU's from FoH with no packet loss. I've checked the IP addresses on everything and its all in the correct range.

We have two managed switches (one at FoH and the other at Dimmers) and are using two VLANS (MA-Net and sACN). The NPU's are in a 172 IP range.

I enabled IGMP snooping on the MA-Net VLAN and the issue went away for a while but its recently come back so i'm assuming it didn't fix it.

I think both the consoles have a 'normal' priority.

I cant really think of what else it might be so any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Would love some examples of how people have been implementing this

Hello everyone. This is not urgent, I‘m just thinking of ways of doing this more efficiently.
- The guests leave the main floor of the venue, I want to turn everything off and turn on cleaning lights.
- There are also a bunch of fixtures (couple universes) outside, controlled by the desk and usually set by the web remote - wardrobe, terrace, lights in front of the venue, sometimes some movers with client gobos, skybeams, titan tubes etc. These should keep running until everyone has left the building.

I have been turning the main floor sequences off manually in the Off menu, without touching the outside ones, but there can be as many as 50 of them running at the end of the party.

Putting outside into a group and parking that would work only if it was static light, which it mostly isn’t (color/dimmer sinewaves, sometimes moving gobos).

Any other Ideas? Using different users? (I have no experience with that)

Thank you!

Hola, alguien me puede ayudar mapeando mi akai apc 40 con grand ma3, que funcione la mayoria de botones, puedo pagar sin problema. Y si es posible que se enciendan los leds tambien.

I have a fixture type that doesn’t move in the onboard visualizer until I change the current Render Qualities.

All other fixtures work correctly, it’s just the one fixture type.

If I change pan or tilt they don’t move in the visualizer, when changing the render qualities they update to the new position.

Any thoughts, I’ve never seen this issue before.

Thanks 🙏

Anyone know where to adjust the maximum program/exec time?

Hi all, for the life of me I can't figure this out! Lets say i have a gird of 8x8 fixtures, now I want to get 2 groups, an odd/even look (both x and y) . I grab the group in that 8x8 selection order, go to MATricks, xwings-2, xgroups-2, ywings-2, ygroups-2. THEN next, why on earth dont I get the odd even looks? it only takes the matricks from x. very lost, how do I make all my subgroups like how I to in 2?

HI,

Another beginner question :)

I've made a sequence of dimcues. I'd like to be able to control the brightness with the master fader. But If i move it up the sequence start. Is there a way to stop that (and only trigger the sequense start with 'go')
-tried to put 'master go mode' on 'none', but it still starts.

Thanks in advance!

My lighting guy quit and I know enough to get by. I know it’s easy, but I can’t figure out where it is or what question to ask on Google.

As the sequence goes through its cues, the position and color attributes change for a fixture. I need to get rid of those attributes so they don’t change moving forward. I KNOW I've seen it in a tutorial, but I've seen so many that I have no idea where I saw it.

Thanks for the assist in advance.

Fishing…. I am trying to make up my mind for some gobo updates for our heads at our venue. Mostly theatre, some dance/circus, live bands also (and your occasional fair and such…)

I got my windows and blinds gobos covered. And watery plasma stuff. And leafs and break ups covered. Some graphic lines also.

Any recommendations would be appreciated🤓🙏

I have a full sized ma3 full. Does anyone else’s console get really hot to the touch by the encoders ?

Almost hot enough you can’t leave your finger on it

Hi,

Beginner here. I hope this is an easy question. I'm trying to turn on contiuous rotation. But it doesn't work. I figured
the value be between 128-189 Continuous rotation fast -> slow , Forwards but nothing is happening. Is "t rotate" the correct place to try this?
(see attached image and : https://www.robe.cz/svb1#downloads-53 )

Thnx in advance!

Hi everyone! I'm the developer of Myelin Director. 

Myelin is a DAW-style app that helps you build and run perfectly timed shows. In version 1.7, we added grandMA3 Live Sync, which lets you:

• Sync timecode pools from Myelin to MA3 in real-time
• Pick sequences and cues directly from your MA3 show in Myelin
• Import existing timecode pools from MA3 into Myelin

It lets you build complex timecode shows without having to juggle files. I made a quick tutorial demonstrating the workflow. I hope you find it useful, and I'd be happy to hear your thoughts!
