Description
The grandMA3 Stream Deck Setup is an excellent addition to the grandMA3 console with around 300 functions. An indispensable helper, especially for pre-programmingon the go with a laptop.
Installation instructions are included. No macro or plugin is required. the information is sent directly from the stream deck to the console. The strem deck can be used immediately and easily with any show file.
With over 300 functions, the Stream Deck configuration is undoubtedly one of the most useful external helpers when programming the grandMA3. First and foremost is the Command Section. Whether you are in a hotel, on the train, or at your desk in the office, the Command Section on the Stream Deck makes pre-programming on the computer extremely effortless.
When configuring the console, the Stream Deck Configuration provides support for customizing colors, appearance, executor configuration, feature group selection, pools, and preset selection.
During show programming, the ease of use of MAtricks, Phasers, AT Filters and Worlds is undoubtedly a time saver that should not be underestimated.
In addition, the Stream Deck in conjunction with this configuration allows direct access to an additional 140 executors.
Click on a Button to see how it works.

Troubleshooting
Thank you for purchasing the SD configuration. Sorry that it is Not working yet.Ā
First we have to find the problem.
Please watch this small Video to check your system.Ā


Check the Settings in Companion.
Especially the Surfaces Settings / Enable connected Streamdecks is an important setting to determine that the streamdeck control is controlled by the Elkgato software.
If you receive an error message in the grandMA3 command line.
Please understand that some of the functions work with variables.Ā These variables must first be created. Please read theĀ operating instructions for the relevant function. There are also videos on the Internet for most of the functions.



Many windows can beĀ openedĀ directlyĀ with the help of the stremdeck. But beforehand it has to be determined onĀ which displayĀ these should be shown.
If the command Section is not working.



For the command area to function correctly, theĀ corresponding connections must also be created in a new show file. These are created in the display settings area.


The Streamdeck configuration runs on MAC OS X and Windows. It is based on the Elgato Streamdeck software and Companion from Bitfocus.

Really brilliant tool, and even better in the second version.
Highly recommended for anyone who has a stream deck.
The OnPC version makes programming much easier, but even with a console you have many practical functions at the push of a button.
The investment was more than worth it.

The Companion plugin works with all versions of Elgato software. Please reinstall the software and make sure that no old content remains. Use the attached video and troubleshooting instructions to check whether the signal flow is working correctly. This will help to narrow down the error. If the error persists, please contact support.

This Stream Deck Setup for GrandMA3 is an absolutely invaluable tool for programming on the go. It massively speeds up the workflow in onPC software while working without a programming wing. Great for programming while traveling or at home before getting behind an actual MA3. I can highly recommend integrating this solution into your programming workflow!

Not working when you are in session with other console

That is not correct. Since the Streamdeck connection involves transmitted OSC signals, these will generally also work in a session.
