GrandMA2 Plugin: Delay Sweeps Macro Generator

[@kaitlynsitek2977]

Absolutely love all your plugins. Just having issues now trying to figure out how to record the sweep into my cue list.

[@User-cl8mn]

Wow exactly what I was looking at doing. Thank you SO MUCH! Your work is much appreciated.

[@LavaVids]

Love your plugins! Thanks for sharing! :)

[@chetan16in]

Thanks Jason for super macro... works superfine ..

[@93bamaman]

Running version 3.3.4.3 and I cant get it to work. Been through the video multiple times. Built the lay out view exactly as you did. Everything should work but it does not. The colors change instantly when I hit them in the picker after selecting fade, delay and direction. Can't figure out what is wrong. Any suggestions?

[@93bamaman]

I got it to work.

[@jordanb6385]

how did you fix it im having the sane problem!

[@93bamaman]

I just started all over and did it all again. User error in the end.

[@antoinevanhille8460]

I just fixed it. I had the same problem nothing was moving with any type of sweeps and time and that was because of my seqstart and seqfinish. All you have to do is to create a page of sequence pool and find your beam, spot, wash etc from your color picker and report it on the plug-in config and that's it. Enjoy !

[@Fabiofocolight79]

I'm a little late, I have a question, does this plugin cause dimmer delay too?

[@GiaffoDesigns]

Yes. Any possible PresetType can be affected.

[@mpowley76]

Awesome plug in, works great! Just had to remember to switch off master time. Just wondering what the syntax would be to add a fade time as well?

[@mpowley76]

Nvm, just saw your fade time macro

[@plasmatic433]

Where did you switch off master time?

[@lennyd3638]

howdy, i'm running 3.3.4.3, can't get the sweep to happen, they all change at the same time, even with 2sec. delay and sweep. I'm on exec 213 on it say start exec 211. any ideas ? thanks

[@joepvanberkel333]

What if i have my own colorpicker with it’s own cuestack? It doesn’t work if i have the delays and stuff on a different cuestack

[@GiaffoDesigns]

Please refer to the linked video to v1.8.1 updates. There is a userconfig section where you can tell it where to store the delays to.

[@lcesareventos]

LET ME SEE IF I UNDERSTOOD, FOR THE DELAY TIME TO WORK I HAVE TO HAVE INSTALLED THE COLOR PLUGIN?

[@TheEvilDead44]

thanks for this script!, quick question though before i dive into a solution. did you implement this to work around a master EXEC TIME fader? I seem to have issues with the sweeps if the exec time fader is active. but no problem if i have it offed. i use an exec fader to control position times. this seems to interfere with the macros somehow for the sweeps and will only change them all at the same time on the exec time and ignore the macros that changed the speed of sweep and direction.

[@GiaffoDesigns]

There is no method included in the plugin for this. If you are not trying to control the sweep-ing executors with the manual exec time, then you can set those executors for "ignore exec time". If you ARE trying to control the sweep executors, consider linking them to a rate-master, instead.

[@tiagoandre9431]

@@GiaffoDesigns It no longer works in the new version does it?

[@Theatrewolf]

I got the plug-in to work fine but when I run the macros the programmer kicks into blind and takes a few seconds to switch back. I don't have a lot of fixtures, maybe 50 in the group. I have tried it with just one group and it still does it. any help would be great!

[@cjm847]

I'm having the same issue. Did you ever find a solution?

[@rajk00100]

Great Plugins, I tried a couple before ,,,,, I was trying to reach your site now, but its down :(

[@yingliangnie7038]

How to download this plugin? can not open webpage? Can you share this plugin and let me learn it?

[@dory_e_dory504]

i'm using grandma2 3.9.60.74 version and i think it doesn't work anymore i tried installing it many time and it doesn't work

[@GiaffoDesigns]

Please check your userconfig.target_range variable as per the FAQ. If this is set to match the intended sequences/executors you wish to apply delays to and is still not working as you are hoping, then reach out through the contact form for additional support.

[@Marc-lm4yv]

Cant for the life of me get this thing to work. Tried change the referenced sequences, reinstalling, everything. Anyone with 3.6.1.1 get this plugin working?

[@GiaffoDesigns]

You're certain you've put in the Sequence numbers and not the Executor numbers? And Executor Time isn't turned on or anything like that?

[@yuriroots4191]

funcionando en la version 3.3.4.3 gracias

[@deansproductions]

Hey. Thanks for this - looks like its broke in the latest version though :(

[@GiaffoDesigns]

[@namkgenc7674]

link doesn't work i guess

[@GiaffoDesigns]

Website is down, working to get it back online ASAP.

[@namkgenc7674]

Giaffo Designs is it gonna be an update version for new version of console . Or is it still working with the new one i dont know . I complate color grid and the fades but i have problem with sweeps thoose are not working correctly ... maybe i have got an answer down commens ?

[@newbies]

I have creat the group left to right ..run the plugin but when running I can't seem to get any direction like left to right ....did I miss anything ?using the latest v 3.3

[@GiaffoDesigns]

Let me test it on 3.3 and get back to you on that. This has only been tested up to 3.2.2.

[@newbies]

Giaffo Designs thank you..appreciate ur work ,.

[@GiaffoDesigns]

I've just tested in the 3.3.2.2 OnPC software and have not encountered any issues. Are you running this on a physical console or using OnPC? And have you been sure to activate both a time and a direction before looking for the effect? Currently the plugin does not automatically activate either, so if one or both have not been activated yet, there will be no effect.

[@newbies]

am using onpc.....activate as in i need to click on those swap time and direction rite...do i need to create the direction or it will be auto created when running plugins...???

[@GiaffoDesigns]

No, the macros will all be created during installation. The pop-up message at the end of installation will tell you where the first macro was installed. If you are not getting to the pop-up message at the end, that means that something is not properly installing. If you ARE getting the message, then double-check your user-config settings. The most likely incorrect settings would be "seqStart" and "seqFinish" (the range of sequences affected by the sweeps), or not including 4 in your preset-types.
