grandMA2

Overview

Vor can connect to the grandMA2 family of lighting consoles to overlay cue data via a MIDI connection - this connection can be either wired via a USB to MIDI Adapter, or over a network using UDP messages.

Setting Up MSC (USB to MIDI)

1. Press the Setup key and then the Midi Show Control button under the Console tab

2. Set the MSC Out Device to an appropriate value for your system

3. Set the MSC Out Group to an appropriate value for your system

4. Set the MSC Out Mode to MIDI

5. Set the MSC Out Exec to an appropriate value for your system

6. Set the MSC Out Command to an appropriate value for your system

7. Ensure the MIDI end of the USB to MIDI adapter is plugged into your grandMA2 console

8. Ensure the USB end of the USB to MIDI adapter is plugged into your device running Vor or Vor Mobile

9. When triggering a sequence, confirm that information is output via MIDI by using the MSC Out Monitor

10. Proceed to configuring the Vor or Vor Mobile grandMA2 connection

Setting Up MSC (UDP)

1. Press the Setup key and then the Midi Show Control button under the Console tab

2. Set the MSC Out Device to an appropriate value for your system

3. Set the MSC Out Group to an appropriate value for your system

4. Set the MSC Out Mode to Ethernet

5. Set the MSC Out Command to an appropriate value for your system

6. Ensure the device running Vor or Vor Mobile can ping the grandMA2 console

7. When triggering a sequence, confirm that information is output via MIDI by using the MSC Out Monitor

8. Proceed to configuring the Vor or Vor Mobile grandMA2 connection

Setting MSC Out Exec to Default Only will cause the grandMA2 to only send information from the Default executor

grandMA2 MIDI Show Control data is broadcast to the network. To ensure that the grandMA2 and Vor device can communicate properly check that the Subnet Mask on the Vor device matches the Subnet Mask on the grandMA2.
