Bump and Shot

Unlimited creative freedom – without any limits

Simply select a group, choose the attribute you want to use — such as Dimmer, Position, Gobo, Beam, or Strobe — and Bump & Shot will present a wide range of matching effect variations.

From there, you select the desired templates, directions, and axes. Once you press Apply, the plugin automatically creates the corresponding sequences in your Sequence Pool.

Total Control Over Directions and Sequence Generation

Bump & Shot gives you full control over movement directions and grid axes when generating sequences. Multiple directions and axes can be selected at the same time, and the plugin automatically creates dedicated sequences for every selected template, direction, and axis combination.

You can also define the exact creation order of directions and axes. The selected order is visually numbered inside the interface, allowing you to control how the generated sequences are arranged and stored in your Sequence Pool — perfect for fast and organized live programming workflows..

Three Effect Engines. One Powerful Workflow.

With Bump & Shot, you can create powerful Bumps, seamless Loops, and dynamic One-Shots — all inside a single plugin and with the same fast workflow.

Create hard-hitting visual accents with Bumps, generate continuous motion effects with Loops, or build smooth flowing transitions using One-Shots. Every effect type is optimized for fast generation and can be combined with templates, directions, and grid axes to instantly create complex variations for your show.

Instead of switching between different tools or building effects manually, Bump & Shot gives you one unified system for dynamic effect creation inside grandMA3.

Real-Time Speed Control with Rate Master

Bump & Shot doesn’t just generate dynamic effects — it gives you live control over their energy and movement.

Using the built-in Rate settings, you can precisely adjust the timing and speed behavior of your bumps, loops, and one-shots. But the real power comes from the Rate Master integration.

Assign your generated sequences directly to a Speed Master and control their speed in real time while programming, testing, or performing live. Slow effects down, accelerate movement instantly, or fine-tune the rhythm of your sequences on the fly — without rebuilding or reprogramming anything.

This makes Bump & Shot not only a fast sequence generator, but a powerful live performance tool for dynamic show control.

Organized Sequence Creation and Smart Naming

Bump & Shot gives you full control over how and where your generated sequences are stored inside the Sequence Pool.

Before creating sequences, you can define an exact starting position within the Sequence Pool, allowing the plugin to automatically place all generated sequences exactly where you want them. This keeps even large effect libraries clean, structured, and easy to access during programming or live operation.

In addition, Bump & Shot features an intelligent naming system with customizable prefixes. Automatically generated sequence names can be extended with your own custom prefix, making it easy to organize effects by show, song, fixture type, or workflow category.

The result is fast effect generation with professional-level organization built directly into the workflow.

Built-In Preset Management for Maximum Compatibility

Bump & Shot includes a fully integrated preset management system directly inside the plugin, giving you complete control over all included presets at any time.

The supplied Dimmer and Color presets work instantly in nearly all setups, while certain Position, Beam, Gobo, or Focus presets may require a quick adjustment depending on the fixture types used in your show.

Thanks to the built-in preset tools, these updates can be done quickly and easily without leaving the plugin. You can review, replace, recreate, and optimize presets directly inside the integrated preset workspace, allowing Bump & Shot to adapt perfectly to your individual fixture setup while keeping the workflow fast and efficient.
