MA Lighting grandMA3 Control Software
OSC control for grandMA3.
Handlers run inside Fantago — the file is a plugin, not a standalone program. Start with the free 60-day trial.
How to connect MA Lighting grandMA3 to Fantago
- Open the Fantago Dashboard and click Add Device.
- Pick the MA Lighting grandMA3 handler from the device type list (internal id
malighting_grandma3). - Enter the IP address of your MA Lighting grandMA3, then set protocol OSC and port
8000. - Save and connect. Fantago starts polling the device and publishes its feedback variables, ready to use in panels, sequences and logic flows.
- Drag the actions below onto a panel button, a Stream Deck key, a schedule or a logic flow node.

Command Integration Guide
This guide explains how to send specific commands to the MA Lighting grandMA3 handler.
Generic Command Format (OSC):
The handler sends OSC messages. You need to provide the OSC address and arguments.
/cmd(Address for console commands, with string arg e.g. "Go+ Sequence 1")/Page1/Key1(Address for executor button, with arg 1 for push, 0 for release)
Integration Examples (assuming device name "GRANDMA3"):
Via HTTP GET:
Due to the structured nature of OSC messages (address + arguments), direct HTTP GET for arbitrary commands can be complex.
Example (concept): http://<FantaGo_IP>:<HTTP_PORT>/sendTo/GRANDMA3?cmd=/cmd&arg=Go%2B%20Sequence%201 (URL-encode the string and args)
Via TCP/UDP Listener:
When using TCP/UDP listeners, you need to provide the exact OSC packet structure (address, type tags, values) in a format suitable for the deviceComm layer. For simple commands like /cmd with a string argument, you can send the command string directly if deviceComm is configured for OSC.
GRANDMA3:/cmd "Go+ Sequence 1" (This relies on Fantago parsing the string into OSC arguments).
It is generally recommended to use the UI actions for specific MA3 commands for easier configuration.
MA Lighting grandMA3 control — frequently asked questions
Does Fantago support MA Lighting grandMA3?
Yes. Fantago includes a ready-made MA Lighting grandMA3 handler (version 1.0.0) that talks to the device over OSC, default port 8000. It is bundled with every licence and with the 60-day free trial — there is no per-device fee.
What protocol does the MA Lighting grandMA3 handler use?
OSC, default port 8000. Fantago connects straight to the device over your production network, so no gateway, middleware or vendor software is needed in between.
Can I control MA Lighting grandMA3 from a Stream Deck?
Yes. Every MA Lighting grandMA3 action can be mapped to an Elgato Stream Deck key, to a button on a custom Fantago touch panel, to a timed schedule, or to a logic flow triggered by another device — including devices from a different manufacturer.
Can I modify the MA Lighting grandMA3 handler?
Yes. The handler is a plain JavaScript file (malighting_grandma3.js) that you can download from this page, edit and drop back into Fantago. You can also write your own handler from scratch — see the Developer Guide.
Control MA Lighting grandMA3 from a single interface
Fantago drives MA Lighting grandMA3 alongside 50+ other broadcast, lighting, audio and smart home devices — from custom touch panels, an Elgato Stream Deck, a schedule or a logic flow. One-time licence, no subscription, runs offline.
