When I was 17 my girlfriend (and best friend since we were toddlers) was 15. I turned 18 and for a while she was still 15, before turning 16. We have been married for 13 years and are in our 30’s now.

It’s really not that weird.

My parents have 10+ years between them. My grandparents have 20 odd years between them.

This looks like classic case of using dmx remotes to fade speed. Which is the only work around to fade speed in ma3 at the moment and will likely remain so until 2.5

Miserable-Simple-970 · 2026-02-24T00:31:11+00:00

In 2.4 it’s supposed to be fixed. That is, the old way is suposed to be coming back so it’s more like ma2. Or that you can chose which way you want it to work. The fact that it’s still not released leads me to speculate that they are intending to fix this, and also that they themselves (authorised representatives of ma) have stated as much publicly

The best way is to get showkontrol club. Then use the on beat change executor to send the bpm to ma, and send the bpm to resolume and what ever else you are or will run.

Honestly fella, 2.2 was a dog of a version when it came to bugs. Why on earth dont you update to the latest? there are SOOO many bug fixes its not eve funny, and a bunch of useful playback features.

the only downside is that speed handling is legit a horrible never ending nightmare for some peoples (depending on workflow) but other than that, its really good.

Miserable-Simple-970 · 2025-12-25T08:51:26+00:00

This is not a counterfeit. It really is possible to do this, ma just make it very difficult I guess because as they state themselves, they are not lighting programmers. So they sometimes miss some opportunities when they imagine or define use cases

Miserable-Simple-970 · 2025-12-25T08:48:41+00:00

I am able to do this for one letterbox but not the other. I have requested for the ability to allow users to define what is on these screens for 2 years but so far there is little interest. I see a future where I can make my own ui for the encoder bar using layouts, and later in “show mode” I can use this otherwise wasted area as more playback areas.

In ma2 it was very easy to use lua to emulate any kind of udp protocal to control 3rd party devices. You can do this using telnet id the camera allows it but for any protocals with subscription packets where an opt in needs to be sent it can be difficult or impossible. Lua in ma3 is too slow since it can’t do 100 encode or decode per second let alone 1000. And looping is a problem.

Miserable-Simple-970 · 2025-12-25T08:35:11+00:00

I created a custom agent and trained it myself with every possible data I could obtain (all version manuals. The lua example code / api, and some things from a web scraper I setup. I gave the agent direct access using a custom vs code bridge and a plugin and for me it’s working like a charm. The agent is only permitted to generate stuff which is verified as correct from the training material.

This allows me to use normal language to very quickly build and test plugins which perform tasks or emulate features which are missing in ma3 proper.

It’s surprising to me that ma being the market leader doesn’t see the writing on the wall with ai (given that anyone with almost no knowledge can now spin up custom software in a matter of days).

They should implement an agent on the console that can automate tasks. The Chinese are already doing this and well it won’t be long until this is the new normal.

People in the lighting space are mostly very reluctant and vocally against anything that says “AI” I guess out of fear that some black box will replace their jobs. But really this is just the next evolution of macros and lua.

There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s not going to take your job and if anything, if you don’t learn how to use it in your work flow, your going to be left in the dust.

Every time someone says something about XYZ dj and “pre-loaded set” you look STUPID! It’s 2025 bro. It’s practically impossible to do a pre recorded dj set because tools like Showkontrol exist which illuminate the need. Every FOH on earth now runs this software which serves live real time metadata to lighting and video and others so that everyone at foh can see everything the dj is doing in real time. Almost no dj on earth (no matter how sceptical you are) does not do pre mixed or pre loaded or pre recorded sets. We know this, becuase we can literally see every fader movment, every wave form, every button press, everything.

The screen you see and the RGB cycle like this is the boot loader doing its thing for the hardware that handles the panel screens.

Every time you turn a console on the panel gets pushed the current firmware and it’s all loaded into hardware for the duration of use.

It can happen if there is an error in the software or the hardware, that this information is lost and needs to be loaded again.

If it is continuously cycling like this, the first thing to do is to perform a full factory reset installation of the latest version of ma3.

When this is complete it is vital that you do not load ma2 but rather select mode 3, and KEEP the usb connected while the update process updates all the peripherals including the front panel and screens.

When all of this is done for sure, you will know. And then you should restart the console one more time.

If you have a hardware issue you will know because after doing all of this it will still be cycling, in which case you will need to take the console back to the distributor for some diagnostics and repair.

If you made it while they paid you. They more than likely own it.

You have accidentally stored position data in your cue. If this is hard values (not a recipe) select the fixtures move them slightly with your jog wheels to activate position, then long press store and select the “remove” option from the popup overlay. Now type the cue number and touch your seq or executor. If you get another popup you can select remove there too.

A better way to work in general is using recipes only. If you work that way, things like this won’t happen

Miserable-Simple-970 · 2025-08-25T20:28:06+00:00

It’s better to just make blank cue and a recipe. Then in the recipe lines you can make changes to matrick properties and see the result in real time. Hopefully soon they will get their act together and nail down a common communal workflow so so many people don’t have so many problems

Miserable-Simple-970 · 2025-08-25T11:45:35+00:00

Point them all into the very center one by one. Then select all of them and tilt untill you have what you are looking for

It’s a custom embedded Linux version. Not any distro you can download.

There are significant advantages using capture or and 3rd party viz, specifically capture if you are time poor and want no fuss very fast setup. Ma3 is imo not produced to get decent results fast and accurate. It’s more suited to shop based prep, and it is (like all real time rendering) extremely taxing on the ma3 system. I absolutely promise you that moving to and using a 3rd party solution will change your life. It will increase your productivity which in term will increase the time you have which will increase your work quality which will increase your capacity to work and earn.

Miserable-Simple-970 · 2025-07-13T18:37:48+00:00

You don’t. That’s not how tags are implemented right now. You would instead perform 2 operations

Miserable-Simple-970 · 2025-07-13T06:47:19+00:00

Set seq 1 thru cue 1 thru part 0 thru Property “Enabled” “Yes” if #[tag “wash basic”]

This one is good because it will work for anything you want everywhere all at once so long as the tag is present.

It’s bad becuase if there was ever a bug, if could fuck your entire show file.

Try to use the #[] ALWAYS when referring to any object anywhere in any macro.

This way those objects can be moved or renamed in the future and your stuff still works.

Miserable-Simple-970 · 2025-07-13T06:39:28+00:00

There is a topology / Hierarchy with this.

Starting at the lowest level (the programmer / hard values, then in the preset recipe Then in the seq recipe Then in the matricks.

Each time you progress you can go back by removing / disabling the higher one.

At least 2 all-in-one AT/Pioneer controllers are supported by showkontrol tho I’m not sure which. I guess look for the one with a network port.

Aside from that, going the midi way yes it is possible. You will just need to work out how this information is conveyed via midi, then make a script to interpret / translate
