PlugIn Pioneer – multi sequence edit

What the Pioneers say

“Overall, the plugin has several advantages. Its user-friendly interface, with clear and simple menus, makes it easy to navigate and use. The plugin significantly enhances efficiency by allowing the selection and modification of multiple sequences at once, speeding up the workflow. Performance-wise, it met my expectations in terms of speed and reliability, with no encountered issues. “

“Yes, if you find yourself creating a lot of new sequences that require different settings this plugin is an absolute must. “

“I would recommend the plug-in as it is very useful in the event that you create a whole load of sequences and forget some options or simply need to edit options for several sequences when in show. Say you suddenly need to change a master and don’t have a macro written with the specific sequences etc.”

  1. Multi Sequence edit is an incredibly helpful feature for the Punting LD inside of us all. The ability to synchronize many sequences settings all at one time with a nice interface is a feature I’ve been dreaming of since MA2. Spectacular plugin that has become an integral part of my work flow in no time.
