Hi All in lighting land.
Let me start by saying I am usually working with ETC consoles but have decided it is time to learn about some others so if I working in a venue that has a different console I am not so far behind the eight ball.
I loaded GrandMA3 on PC to my Macbook and have an external screen attached.
I have patched the fixtures from my usual venue so I have a reference, made a 3D of the fixtures, made some presets including colour, dimmer, position and groups.
I can use the command line to select and store all of the above.
Now comes the fun part. I want to make some more position presets. I have a group of fixtures (Chauvet R1 Spots 401 thru 408) and turn them on. I can tilt them forward. Now what I want to do is get them to pan towards centre to make a DSC position. EDIT: I have done this bit. Found the little align button on the left.
On the EOS I can fan centre and achieve this. How do I do it on MA3? also if I want to do a XXXX position how do I make every 2 lights mirror each other?
There will a ton of other questions as I navigate through this software. I am using videos online to learn as I don't have access to a MA programmer easily.
Thanks in advance for your help
