grandMA3 | Introduction

Founded on the legacy of the previous grandMA consoles, the grandMA3 represents a radical re-think of what’s possible from a lighting control platform. The elegant new system-architecture incorporates new fixture, feature and effects-handling at its very heart.
The system features ground-breaking concepts from top industry visionaries, presented within a refined user interface, and is designed to make practical tasks more intuitive.
The physical design detail of the grandMA3 range is extraordinary and focused on delivering the best possible user experience, now and into the future.

im still waiting for them to make an audio desk.. just so we can finally have a grandpa.

[@WaimateTV]

Camera Mixing and livestreaming module would be great then Great GrandMa lol

[@idoesstuff]

thats actually funny

[@freddyspaghetti1055]

Not only does the console control but also emit light!

[@robocow2]

I wonder what MA Lighting define a "very attractive price" as? Only one arm or leg?

[@jeremyburd20021]

Mark Godfrey not even, they cost a whole body!

[@jojajoja420]

The prices have been revealed already, you can still check them on KZbin (Christan Jackson's Stream, close to the beginning). However, it's not sure if they are still up to date, of course.

[@mbergen4833]

About 6-7k$ per onPC cmd wing

[@hugowoesthuis]

60k for some full size Deutsche Qualität!

[@macieksoft]

And half of that (or maybe even less) for some chineese copy that for sure gona come soon ;-) It is not easy to make best console even better, but it is even harder to defend it against chineese reverse enginneering battalion.

[@chamacotv1927]

I cant wait to design my shows with this beauty!

[@stage223]

We will definitely check that out at Prolight + Sound with a video.

[@morse9208]

When will the OnPC Software be available for download? Hopefully you changed the Midi Remote Control, so that USB Midi controller with faders like the Akai APC mini are directly supported and a Midi translator isn't needed?

[@denni-swan]

technically this is a preview, software is nowhere near complete.

[@CaptureLiteCreative]

I'm excited...

[@Wanlighting]

Awesome!

[@heikohirschauer3965]

Holy shit! very nice!

[@joshlighting4622]

Beautiful console I look forward to ask me ( :

[@alexisgonzalez8534]

beautiful

[@jojajoja420]

For sure!

[@lightshow339]

不错哦，赞

[@benedict4002]

Will there also be a OnPC Fader Wing in the grandMA3 version?

[@glynodonoghue690]

We are not planning an onPC fader wing in the grandMA3 range. The playback capability of the grandMA3 onPC command wing is significantly more powerful than on the grandMA2 version.

[@jameshuntlighting4544]

It may not be advertised now, but I am sure MA International will develop this when its fully released.

[@retrogamestudios6688]

Nice

[@thepyrotechnicpenguin4846]

heck ya

[@michaelschafferAT]

OnPC Mac 😍😍😍👍👍👍

[@showtimesteph]

Holy crap, this is phenomenal

[@macieksoft]

So where have the yellow trackball gone? Have they found some new way of controlling pan and tilt with ease?

[@MALightingInt]

Hi macieksoft, thank you for your request. You are right, the yellow trackball is gone in grandMA3. On grandMA3 hardware we can use the new dual encoders to control pan/tilt. Furthermore we have new multitouch screens we can use to control our attributes. Let´s have a look at what the grandMA3 software will bring in the future. There will be for sure some nice things to come.

[@macieksoft]

So it's a little step back... ...Back to encoders.... gMA 1 = big ball, gMA2 = small ball, gMA3 = no ball at all ;-)

[@thepyrotechnicpenguin4846]

anyone know when the onpc version is available for download cant wait to play with it

[@jojajoja420]

For sure, not before MA3 has been fully reveald at prolight&sound on 10th to 14th of april 2018.

[@ShowXTech]

Ist die Beleuchtung der neuen Encoder Wheels auch in der Farbe anpassbar?

[@wikipizzlegizoogle503]

ja

[@aviationlife7446]

GUYS LOOK!! It’s the grandma 3

[@jeremyburd20021]

If the software works on Mac, how come you won’t allow for it to output parameters?

[@jojajoja420]

I think it might be a software issue. You know, even making it possible for onPC to run on a Mac is a huge amount of work they've already done, as you litterally have to program the new software from the ground up. Making it possible for it to output parameters might not have been in their time deadline (polight&sound). But who knows what's gonna happen in the future. ;-)

[@davidnax9058]

does the On Pc Wing has too RGB color faders?

[@glynodonoghue690]

Sorry, no backlights for the motorized faders on the onPC command wing.

[@sgtsunburn117]

But motorized faders are still a welcome addition.

[@kieranfoggon9012]

@jacobstadtfeld I would have rathered rgb faders. To sort my lights.

[@user-mt8ld8yr6o]

ลดราคาได้มั้ย สนใจ ma 3 ฟูไซ

[@iradilafont903]

En españa tambien la queremos comprar, introduccion en español, por favor

[@jojajoja420]

The software is usually in English only, so in order to make any use out of it, you have to understand English (and this video as well).

[@davidvega1087]

I think it’s time for grandMA 4

If you have some more questions please let us know where you are from. Then we can forward your request to our local distributor - they will be happy to help.

[@joshuachoi4477]

except for the fact that the console can control more channels, whats the reason the console is better than just a laptop software like chuavet show x press

[@human8616]

Why not Linux versio yet?

[@Frankiewizard]

If it was on LinuX I would use it.

[@Frankiewizard]

ChamSys is the only company that you can use there software on three platforms Mac Pc & LinuX

[@linuspomroy1974]

GrandMA2 runs on Mac with Wine...

[@igormarkic-nikolac513]

Best feature on GrandMA3 is the ability to load the GrandMA2 software on it.....

[@MALightingInt]

Hey Igor, we are quite happy that Mode2 works great in grandMA3 hardware. But we also would love to talk to you about things you miss in Mode3 - just get in contact with our local distributor in your area. We really appreciate your feedback.

[@australangler]

Welcome to the world of niche products.

[@Danifer_TV]

Hello, my command line has been changed, now instead show me the USER/FIXTURE> it is showing me: USER@showdata/Livepatch/Stages/Stage 1/Fixtures> Anyone knows what is the shortcut to turn it back to the original?

[@MALightingInt]

Hey, seems that you are in the patch - maybe visible on a different screen? Anyway you can type cd root to the command line and you will be back 😊👍
