A basic tutorial on how to connect and visualise Martin M-PC light show with MA3D using grandMA2 and The ArtNetominator. This tutorial is useful if you like to program in Martin M-PC instead of grandMA2, but you like free good programs like MA3D to visualise and prepare the light show. I will not write a complete guide, so please check out the video and feel free to comment and ask questions.

NOTE: Martin M-PC has been discontinued. The new name for the same thing is Onyx and can be found at Obsidian Control System.

This guide is inspired from Martin MPC with MA3D. Thanks to UserUkn0w!

Edit: I also discovered a Pan/Tilt bug in this kind of setup. I made a video of that too, so please visit this post when you’ve watched the entire video.
