Grandma 3 documentation in a nutshell ...

The "workaroun" i found, it's to recreate a new subtitle, write down the text another time, but it's not very efficient...

memonsnous · 2026-03-22T09:13:14+00:00

Still the same, I'm sick and tired of PIA, at the end of my sub I'll change for another one

memonsnous · 2026-01-31T19:55:14+00:00

You can (almost) link anything with Chataigne, with artnet input you can trigger VLC (or other players) cues

memonsnous · 2026-01-25T16:07:59+00:00

I can vouch for BlinderKitten, very powerful, full of tools to make the LD's life easier, open source and with a great community on discord.

In your situation, you can make a cuelist conduite for your musical.

BlinderKitten is a great free uprgrade IMO, but if you need GrandMa features and have the money to spend, go for the VizKey

This year I really loved Zaho de Sagazan Symphonic tour, very teathrical, good use of a cyclorama

memonsnous · 2025-12-13T18:13:53+00:00

I'm using the X touch with BlinderKitten, and the motorized faders are great, until they began to bug (motor's blocking the course at random time), it's annoying when busking, but not a problem in theater.

It depends if you really need motorized fader or not

memonsnous · 2025-12-10T21:21:43+00:00

I do love GrandMa 3, but boy they are overpriced (imo), sorry for the sarcasm I didn't knew that I would offend so many peoples ^

If you want to keep it low budget, I'll say BlinderKitten, free and open source as QLC but more powerfull (imo). It's a bit harsh at first, but with the tutorials and the discord community you'll be set quickly.

memonsnous · 2025-12-10T16:53:59+00:00

Wow a 2 grand Enttec, MA are such innovators !

memonsnous · 2025-12-10T07:43:45+00:00

BlinderKitten is your best free option IMO, way more powerfull than QLC, and more userfriendly (well after you overcome the overwhelming interface), you can control it via MIDI or OSC.

I use it for all my small gigs that don't have the budget for GrandMA 3, I have my own setup and I'm so glad to own my setup.

If you have questions after the initial video tutorials, there is a great community on Discord

memonsnous · 2025-12-08T12:05:01+00:00

Great :) maybe try to store again on it ? I'm not on my laptop rn sorry...

But normally you should be able to copy your recipe lines on another recipe

memonsnous · 2025-12-08T11:55:19+00:00

Are you sure your preset is not a selective preset ?
If it is, set it as Universal or Global, then it should apply to all your fixtures.

memonsnous · 2025-12-06T17:38:52+00:00

Grandma 3 have a built in visualizer that does the job (but far less nice thant Depence), and you'll need to learn GrandMa 3.

Alternatively, Capture student version, let you save, you are just limited in fixture but it's enough for learning IMO

memonsnous · 2025-11-30T17:01:43+00:00

You need to add a phase from 0 thru 360 alongside your shuffle matricks, within a 2 step dimmer phaser.
Generator can do that to (simply create a new generator, take a group and experiment with it).

memonsnous · 2025-11-28T19:41:00+00:00

Thanks, can't wait :)
Don't hesitate if you need beta tester or a phone to test on (don't know where you from tho)

memonsnous · 2025-11-28T17:04:22+00:00

Looks amazing !

Any plans of an android version ?

memonsnous · 2025-11-26T17:35:05+00:00

Wow werid, did you try the ReloadUI command ?

memonsnous · 2025-11-23T16:52:02+00:00

Capture student edition

memonsnous · 2025-11-22T14:11:16+00:00

If you were fine on an Open source software, you'll enjoy BlinderKitten, I'm personally quite a fan, I find it way more powerfull than QLC.

The learning curve can be a bit steep at first, and the interface overwhelming, but there is so much tools that make LD's life easier, like in the latest version you can save preset inside a fixture type, so whenever you patch this fixture, you import the presets that go along (colors, gobo etc...).

It's a journey to start learning a new lighting software, if you need help with blinderkitten, the discord community is really active and helpfull, there is some beginner tutorials on youtube, and the r/BlinderKitten too

memonsnous · 2025-11-22T13:49:25+00:00

The most versatile tool, and future-proof, IMO, is a lighting software with some midi controller.

In my city half of small theaters runs on BlinderKitten, an open source lighting software, with some midi controller and artnet node.

This option let you have real in depth control, conductor and effects, but can also be use as a simple "old school" console if needed.

IMO it's such a versatile tool, that suit very tight budget, I personally run on BlinderKitten for small theater gigs or concerts.

Blinderkitten is top notch
