Overview of the actions that can be done on the Grand Master panel.

ON AIR button


Toggle the ON AIR button to deactivate all rendering (2D preview, 3D scenes) in the Modulo Kinetic Designer to dedicate all ressources to show control for a more smooth operating experience.

Grand master fader


The slider controls the global opacity of the rendering of all Kinetic V-Nodes. You can click on the 0 button to smoothly fade to black and click on the 100 to smoothly fade to full opacity. You can control the duration (in seconds) of these 0 to 100 fade transition using the dedicated field underneath the fader.

In a trigger area of a task

You can trigger a task on a slave Kinetic Designer when it looses the connection to the master Kinetic Designer.

In a digimap patch

You can control the grand master in a digimap.

In a trigger area of a digimap

You can use the incoming values sent by a show control applications connected to the Modulo Kinetic Designer:

Action Description
Received int Set the ID.
Received float Set the ID.
Received double Set the ID.
Received vector 2d Set the ID and choose the components (x or y).
Received vector 3d Set the ID and choose the components (x or y or z).
Received vector 4d Set the ID and choose the components (x or y or z or w).
Received color Set the ID and choose the components (R,G,B or Alpha).
Received string Set the ID.

In a compute graph

When drag & dropped into a compute graph, this button can create nodes to either receive value from external show control applications, StreamDeck devices, or VR headsets.

Each node will have a id_startWith input pin (also available as a field in the Editor panel for the node) to filter the value you wish to receive.

Action Description
Receive integer Receive an integer value from an external show control application.
Receive float Receive a float value from an external show control application.
Receive double Receive a double value from an external show control application.
Receive vector 2d Receive a 2D vector value from an external show control application.
Receive vector 3d Receive a 3D vector value from an external show control application.
Receive vector 4d Receive a 4D vector value from an external show control application.
Receive color Receive a color value from an external show control application.
Receive string Receive a string from an external show control application.
Receive integer with token Receive an integer value from an external show control application.
Receive float with token Receive a float value from an external show control application.
Receive double with token Receive a double value from an external show control application.
Receive vector 2d with token Receive a 2D vector value from an external show control application.
Receive vector 3d with token Receive a 3D vector value from an external show control application.
Receive vector 4d with token Receive a 4D vector value from an external show control application.
Receive color with token Receive a color value from an external show control application.
Receive string with token Receive a string from an external show control application.
Receive StreamDeck key down Choose the x (column) and y(row) and the id_startWith (name of the StreamDeck in a multi StreamDeck Setup)
Receive StreamDeck key up Choose the x (column) and y(row) and the id_startWith (name of the StreamDeck in a multi StreamDeck Setup)
Receive Vr Headset Position Receive X, Y and Z positions for a VR Headset.
Receive Vr Headset Yaw, Picth, Roll Receive Yaw, Pitch and Roll values for a VR Headset.

Monitor connected applications


In this panel, icons will appear notifying the number of applications connected to your Kinetic Designer :

• Monitor Warp Remotes
• Monitor Live Mixers
• Monitor Kinetic Panels
• Monitor if there is a Slave Kinetic Designer connected to the Kinetic Master.
• Display any Show Control application connected to the Kinetic Designer (for example a Medialon Manager or a Crestron show control) if there are any.
