Start Building GrandMA3 BUSKING SHOWFILE from scratch - GrandMA3 Tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มิ.ย. 2024
- We are starting a new GrandMA3 show from scratch, and working our way towards making a GrandMA3 busking page.
This is a un-edited GrandMA3 Tutorial, where you will see me making my share of mistakes :-)
I will show you the principals in programming GrandMA3 busking showfile, and then the rest is up to you. I will use some GrandMA3 macros to change color on some of our lighting fixtures, and the use the layout page to control your show.
This is a way to make a Busking GrandMA3 show, where you can make a festival or busking page, and this is for figuring out the process and possibilities.
This tutorial is more like a GrandMA3 programming session, that shows you how you could start building your GrandMA3 showfil.
There is no editing in this GrandMA3 tutorial, so you will also see me make a few mistakes in the process. :-)
If you are trying to learn GrandMA3, i think that seeing the entire process can help you towards your goal of being a GrandMA3 programmer.
I hope you enjoy the video, and please leave a comment if you have any questions or comments.

Thank you so much for these videos. Your style of explaining things makes so much sense for a new user of GrandMA Thank You!
Hi Ryan. Thank you very much for the nice feedback. I am very happy that you like it, and it’s really nice to get hear from someone new to GrandMA 😀 promise that you will ask if there is something you need me to clarify 👍
This was so helpful, I'm using this approach to building a showfile for busking with a midi controller (via OSC) and an onPC node. Thank you!
You are welcome - thank you for watching 😀👍👍
I’m surprised you don’t save more often.
I’m saving my work constantly!
Thank you for making videos!!!
Hi Mr Mills.
Thank you for watching, and commenting on the videos. That makes it more fun to do 👍👍
I probably would save more often if it was a “real” show I was working on. But until now I haven’t had one single crash yet on GrandMA3. Sometimes I set it up to auto save every 10-15 minutes just to be sure 😀 Have you experienced any crashes on the software? 😀
Listen- I’m struggling with my MA3 and this honestly helped so much at making it way more easier to digest
Thank you for this video . Watching from Thessaloniki , Greece
Thank you F. 👍👍😀😀
Perfect thank you for the Great Video
I’m so grateful for soft palettes and the EXEC window in MagicQ after seeing this…
Hi Tue! Thanks again for another excellent tutorial. What is the purpose of grouping the fixtures within the patch creator? Is this different from creating groups by making selections from the fixture sheet and storing them in a group pool? Thanks
Congratulations ! Best Of The Best👑
Chanel Obrigado 😊🤘
Thank you Dommy 😀
And thank you for coming back, commenting and asking questions on the videos. It’s always great to hear from someone 😀😀
Hi!
Thanks for your nice style of showing things and experimenting with how stuff works.
I think that's very inspiring for newcomers like I am to just jump in and play around with the software.
I just discovered your channel this weekend and will watch all the content over the next weeks.
To really start using the software for small projects someone gave me the tip of getting the vizkey that unlocks 512 parameters from the onpc version.
Together with a raspberry Pi with dmx dongle that makes for a super compact light tool :-)
But on a music video shoot I completely failed in making the lights do nice stuff.
Like you say: it takes time and preparation and practise
Thanks for your help on that.
Any plans for a new live stream??
Hi Michael.
Nice to hear that you have arrived on the channel, and that you will watch the videos.
Yes the wiz-key will unlock 1 DMX universe, so that you can start outputting something 😀 Before you shoot your next video, you should set it up in 3D and then force yourself to learning the effects you need to make it look like you want it 😀
My first livestream was very spontaneous, and I am thinking of making another one. But I don’t know exactly when it’s going to happen 😀
Hey Michael. I think your idea with Raspberry Pi will not gonna work. The vizkey will only work with visualizer-software that is whitelisted by MA. Unfortunately not to output any data.
Thank you a lot from Serbia for this video. You probably figure out how to use wait times. Can you share the wisdom?
If you want to set individual delay times, could you just set it into the colors preset via the macro instead of each cue? Same could be with fade time as well, but not as necessary since it works the way you have done it already.
Really great video, will help me make my own show file, coming from Chamsys, maybe you could make an in depth video about fixture type change, would help me a lot thanx!
Hi Eduards.
Thank you very much, it´s always nice to get some positive feedback 😀 I am interested - how does it compare to chamsys for you, and why are you looking at GrandMA3?
The video for swapping fixtures are on the drawingboard, and you are going to love how easy it is on GrandMA3 :-)
Thank you for watching, and for commenting 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi @@Event-Lighting .
Thanks for the questions 😀
Chamsys is straight forward, all presets are already made, not as much writing. With GrandMA3 we can achieve more precise and complex fx. We choose the MA3 for it's potential in the future and to increase our show's quality.
Can't wait for new videos!
Kind regards.
Hi! I have a question. That macro changing color fade stuff couldn't be done in a easier way using playbacks? Thank you so much!
you have to type "EDit layout x" to enter a spreadsheet where you can change anything for multiple layout objects at once.....
Hi Tobias. Yes, and you can right click on the layout name next to settings in the layout window. BUT..... It´s not working. I can assign appearance just fine, and you can see that it´s assigned in the list - but nothing happens in the layout window :-)
thanks for the video!
is it possible to get the show file?
Great video again: Question? I assume that layout views cannot be populated with programming other than objects that trigger programming via macros. Thats the same with MA2 and as I wanted to attach timing to a speed fader and not use macros, which resulted in the macros getting rather big.
Perhaps you know something about how seqences behave with settings and options. A Hog seq travels with setings and options to the playback, this did not happen on MA2, but I heard they changed this, but cannot recall who said so, have you an opinion if the options and settings to a seq are now stored with the seq and not the hardward a seq is placed on?
Have you an opinion?
Hi Andy.
Thank you for commenting 👍
In the GrandMA3 software *you can now assign almost EVERYTHING to the layout view* . You can have groups, macros, sequences, presets you name it. I have uploaded an image in the shared folder you can take a look at. As of right now, I can only get the speed master to work as a “learn” button. But I would assume that it´s likely going to change in future updates.
See layout picture: onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AFolVFISKViRDv0&cid=ADD76BEB41257BDE&id=ADD76BEB41257BDE%211097&parId=ADD76BEB41257BDE%211095&o=OneUp
The settings for a sequence now travels with the sequence. So, no matter where you assign it, it will keep the setting you gave it. 😀
@@Event-Lighting Now that was great information and happy settings will travel, that was a pain in MA2. Many thanks again, I am again more informed.
Does this work for movements also?
Instead of using images especially for solid colors i would use just the appearance itself with background color, saves you storage and the file does not get loaded as much
Hi Jogi. I agree that it would be easier to make colors that way, but this tutorial is more of a beginner tutorial. So I think that showing the functionality was the important thing in this case. That way a GrandMA3 beginner can easily change their image to their liking 😀
why is it a german titel but a english video xD
