Description
One Shot – For all those who not only want to program shows, but also design them.
You know the moment: it has to be done quickly – but still look good. With One Shot, you get a tool that not only saves time, but also promotes creativity. Developed for real live situations, this plugin gives you the freedom to react spontaneously, work flexibly and always deliver a professional result. No long fiddling around, no detours – just a direct path from impulse to action. One Shot is for everyone who doesn’t just write cues, but creates moments.
Version 1.2.27.51 for grandMA3 Version 2.4.x.x.
Generate instantly playable bumps with just a few clicks
Unlimited number of waves per bump – simply expand using the plus button
Touch-optimized timeline – move and, scale waves directly
Loop function for permanently repeatable sequences
Live control via X-Keys and rotation-knobs with the optional control module
Intuitive user interface for fast results without training time
Unlimited creative freedom – without any limits
One Shot doesn’t let you think in rigid structures. Instead, you give each bump exactly the expression your show requires – and if a single effect isn’t enough, you can simply add more waves. No detours, no restrictions. This is how you develop dynamic looks that are allowed to grow: spontaneous, organic and as complex as you need them to be. Whether it’s a subtle build-up or a powerful effect – you decide when to stop.
Touch-optimized timeline – move, scale and delete waves directly




It couldn’t be more direct – creative control at the touch of a finger
One Shot’s touch-optimized timeline puts you in direct contact with your effect. Move and scale waves exactly where you see them – without detours, without additional windows. This saves time, prevents errors and allows you to work intuitively and live. Especially in hectic production situations, this direct editing is a real game changer – fast, precise, reliable..
Unlimited number of waves per bump – simply expand using the plus button


Make every moment as big as it needs to be
With One Shot, you are not limited to a fixed structure. Each bump can contain as many waves as you need – easily expandable via the plus button. This means you can adapt the effect exactly to the dramaturgy of your show, without any technical limits. Whether it’s a minimal accent or a complex chain of movements – you decide what the moment demands. One Shot grows with your idea.
Creative movement directions: Left-Right, In-Out, X-Y-Z Axis and Random


More than just on and off – movement with character
One Shot thinks effects in directions. With creative movement options such as Left-Right, In-Out, X-Y-Z Axis and Random, you not only have control over the “when”, but also the “how”. This creates lively, varied sequences that adapt intuitively to the dramaturgy of your show. Whether organically growing, excitingly building up or unpredictably chaotic – you decide what character your effect should have.
Live control via X-Keys and encoder with the optional control module


Precision to the point – direct control for exact results
The optional control module gives you direct control via X-keys and rotation-knops – ideal for anyone who wants to work with maximum precision. Whether you are making fine adjustments, scaling values precisely or timing transitions perfectly: you have full control at all times, without any detours via the plugin. Especially when programming complex looks, this input option offers you maximum precision and efficiency – directly on the console.
Individual MAtricks settings per slot


Fine control – each slot gets exactly what it needs
One Shot allows you to make individual MAtricks settings for each slot. This means you can give each individual part of your effect its own structure, dynamics or distribution – without any compromises. Especially with more complex setups or asymmetrical looks, this creates a depth of detail that would not be achievable with global settings. For you, this means: more expression, more control, more creative possibilities – exactly where you need them.
Loop function for permanently repeatable sequences
Endless repeatability – and transitions that no one else can do
With the loop function, you can transform bumps into permanently playable sequences. This creates seamless transition effects that classic phasers simply cannot reproduce: gentle fade-ins, flowing color changes or rhythmic accent chains continue for as long as the dramaturgy requires. One click is all it takes – no additional cues, no workarounds. Especially in live situations, you retain absolute flexibility and can extend or shorten transitions more spontaneously without interrupting the creative flow.
Integrated presets for immediate use or as a template
Get started right away – or develop further
Integrated presets get you off to a flying start: you select them, start playing straight away and save valuable programming time. At the same time, they serve as a creative blueprint – you can change, combine or use each preset as the basis for completely new looks. This allows you to combine speed with creative freedom and never have to start from scratch again.
Note: If predefined effects do not work due to manufacturer-specific attribute differences, simply recreate them via “Recreate Preset” in the setup or replace them with your own presets that exactly match your fixtures.

Hi, I think it’s an excellent add-on for MA3.
It has a very interesting way of choosing your presets and shaping the bump. It has a number of saved bumps, and you can also create new ones and save them to use later.
I highly recommend it.

Hi,
This plugin is just amazing. The possibilities are endless and the results are amazing. The interface is very intuitive, clear, and practical. It saves a lot of time coding to test and validate the effects. A purchase I don’t regret. Go for it!

I have programmed this myself for the MA2. I was planning on converting it to the MA3, but never mind, someone already did, and he did an excellent job. Very good plugin.
Only thing what would make this better if it was able to output recipe based sequences. That would be a huge time saver. That or either create a playlist with your favourite one shots, and generate those automatically. (my MA2 plugin does this 🙂 )
