Overview
The grandMA3 onPC DMX-key starter is a small USB-C powered box that unlocks 1,024 parameters in the free grandMA3 onPC software and outputs them on two DMX ports. There is no setup or network to configure: plug it in and patch your fixtures.
It is MA's entry point to grandMA3, aimed at students, teachers and new lighting designers, and it suits school halls, small churches and rehearsal rooms that want to learn and run the same software used on grandMA3 consoles.

Forefront Tip
For a school or teaching room, mount the DMX-key starter under the desk with the supplied screws and use the locking USB-C cable so it cannot be knocked out mid lesson. When the rig grows past 1,024 parameters, step up to the 4,096 parameter DMX-key.
