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.”

How smoothly the installation process of the Grandma3 plugin went and if any issues encountered were quickly resolved?
The installation went smoothly without any issues. Propper documentation was provided incase it was needed.
Could you please describe how helpful the included plugin user manual was for you?
The manual included a quick start as wel as a bit more detailed manual. With the addon of images it was easy to understand.
Please describe your opinion of the plugin’s user interface? What did you like, what did you not like and do you have any suggestions for improvement?
The interface is clean and easy to use. It has a good layout to see what you have selected and what will be affected.
Could you please provide your opinion on the functionality of the plugin? Describe what features worked well for you, what could be improved, and if there are any specific function.
The plugin did exactly what it should do, it edits multiple sequences at your request. I like how it handles and works however I see it work best for people who always create their shows from scratch. That’s just my opinion.
Please share your thoughts on the performance of the plugin. Did it meet your expectations in terms of speed and efficiency? Were there any performance issues you encountered?
The plugin works fast and efficient. The one function that I do not like is that it shows all sequences, even the ones that are not occupied. This might just be a GrandMA thing so no blame on the maker.
What are the overall pros and cons?
Overall I think this will work great for people who either are just starting to make their show or are always making their shows from scratch. As for myself I don’t see myself using it very often as my entire showfile is recipe based.
It will save you a lot of time.
Would you recommend the plug-in, and why?
If you are someone who always starts from scratch, then yes. I would recommend it.
Do you have anything else to add that could be helpful for other users?

How smoothly the installation process of the Grandma3 plugin went and if any issues encountered were quickly resolved?
Super easy, just like any other plugin.
Could you please describe how helpful the included plugin user manual was for you?
Very helpful. Made figuring out things much easier, even though the plugin itself it very self explanatory.
Please describe your opinion of the plugin’s user interface? What did you like, what did you not like and do you have any suggestions for improvement?
It’s a great plugin and makes things so much easier when dealing with a lot of sequences, especially when dealing for songs or busking files. My one gripe is that it deselects the already selected sequence; if i’m running a show and need to edit multiple sequences, I have to reselect my main sequence. Quite annoying when i’m busking a show and my main sequence list gets deselected.
Could you please provide your opinion on the functionality of the plugin? Describe what features worked well for you, what could be improved, and if there are any specific function.
Everything worked well. Just didn’t like that it deselects your already selected sequence.
Please share your thoughts on the performance of the plugin. Did it meet your expectations in terms of speed and efficiency? Were there any performance issues you encountered?
Yes it’s great.
What are the overall pros and cons?
Pro, it’s something MA is missing.
Com, it deselects the already selected sequence
Would you recommend the plug-in, and why?
Yes. It’s something MA needs and doesn’t have built in.
Do you have anything else to add that could be helpful for other users?

Please share your thoughts on the performance of the plugin. Did it meet your expectations in terms of speed and efficiency? Were there any performance issues you encountered?
The plugin is easy and quick to use and does not require any “real” resources.
What are the overall pros and cons?
In general I would say that the pros outweigh the cons, the only thing that can be seen as a con is the unimplemented function for changing the handle, but I don’t know if that is technically possible.
Would you recommend the plug-in, and why?
I recommend the Plugin because it made my workflow faster.

Installation was really quick and easy.
Could you please describe how helpful the included plugin user manual was for you?
I check the manual to see how it looks, it looks comprehensive enough for anyone to start using the plugin.
Please describe your opinion of the plugin’s user interface? What did you like, what did you not like and do you have any suggestions for improvement?
I’d like to be able to enter sequences in the command line and then run the plugin to edit those sequences. I think the recipe-like selection page is a bit messy.
Could you please provide your opinion on the functionality of the plugin? Describe what features worked well for you, what could be improved, and if there are any specific function.
I love the editing functionality. I use quite a lot of macros and plugins to create sequences for the testing of the LED wristbands, this plugin makes it easy to update the settings for all of them without messing with the command line too much.
I would love to be able to pass parameters to the plugin through the command line the automatically get a certain range of sequences selected.
Please share your thoughts on the performance of the plugin. Did it meet your expectations in terms of speed and efficiency? Were there any performance issues you encountered?
The plugin met most of my expect, just selecting the sequences is a bit finicky but other than that, it’s amazing!
What are the overall pros and cons?
‘+ Easy editing of sequences
+ nice visual GUI
– hard to select a lot of sequences
Would you recommend the plug-in, and why?
Yes, if you find yourself creating a lot of new sequences that require different settings this plugin is an absolute must.
Do you have anything else to add that could be helpful for other users?
I don’t think so, the questions gave me enough room to give my honest opinion.

How smoothly the installation process of the Grandma3 plugin went and if any issues encountered were quickly resolved?
Install was super simple. Downloaded the plugin and added it into my USB. Imported with no issues and even had an appearance already.
Could you please describe how helpful the included plugin user manual was for you?
The user manual was easy to read and had me able to run the plugin very quickly. Only error I noticed is that the manual reads “We wish you success and enjoyment in using “Patch to PDF”!”
Please describe your opinion of the plugin’s user interface? What did you like, what did you not like and do you have any suggestions for improvement?
Overall I did like the interface. Something that could be useful would be a way to enter two numbers to be able to select all sequences in that range as opposed to manually selecting each sequence.
Could you please provide your opinion on the functionality of the plugin? Describe what features worked well for you, what could be improved, and if there are any specific function.
The plugin proved especially helpful to me as I used it whilst building my new busking file and during this I created many color sequences for my color picker and realized there were some options I hadn’t set after building them all. Whilst yes, there is a way to do it via command line, I was able to run the plugin, select the sequences and change the settings in under a minute without needing to reference any new syntax which I am still getting my head wrapped around.
Please share your thoughts on the performance of the plugin. Did it meet your expectations in terms of speed and efficiency? Were there any performance issues you encountered?
Perfectly met my expectations. No performance issues.
What are the overall pros and cons?
Pros – easy and fast to use
Cons – selection the sequences can be a bit tedious when dealing with many sequences.
Would you recommend the plug-in, and why?
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.

Nope 🙂
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.
