Release Notes 2.4
Let's Get Started
Do you need help getting started in grandMA3? Perfect! Here we describe a few quick steps to get you rolling. The manual will explain functionality in detail while the MA e-Learning in the MA University offers you all kinds of training. All information can be accessed through the MA Lighting website www.malighting.com.
Let's go! Boot your console or open your onPC and find predefined views on view buttons on the right. To switch between the views, tap the corresponding view buttons.
If this is your first time starting grandMA3 software, patch some fixtures first. Or you can load one of the
demo shows delivered with the software. Either way, press Menu. If you use
grandMA3 onPC software, there is a 
symbol in
the top left corner there. Clicking the symbol is
the same as pressing Menu on a console.
Tap Backup and then Load, now you are
ready to load shows. Would you like to get right on it? Switch Shows to Demo Shows in the title bar first. To do so, tap Shows
repeatedly until it says Demo Shows. Once Demo
Shows is displayed, it is possible to select any demo show in the list. After you selected a demo
show, tap Load.
In case a show was already loaded, a pop-up will appear asking if you want to save the current show first before
loading the new one. It's up to you!
Here we go! Now you are ready to work with the grandMA3 software. It is as easy as that! Again - there are view buttons there, which change the screen content. At the bottom, you will find the encoder bar and the command line. Technically that is all you need to get started. For more information, see the grandMA3 help menu. To access the help in the console or the onPC, tap the view buttons named Help or visit the Online Manuals on the MA Lighting website. If you want to learn the grandMA3 software step by step, please see the Quick Start Guide and join the MA e-Learning - it's free of charge and available on the MA Lighting website.
Have fun using our grandMA3 software! Find all the improvements and changes of this software version further down.
