Is it planned to publish an OnPc version to prepare shows at home?

Hi Sneaker,

I understand it would be practical, to have a OnPc version, but at this moment we don't have it.
Most chimp users have a capture program, to prepare a live show with the Chimp.
You could use Capture Sweden, or wysiwyg.

We are just a small company that can not afford to buy a capture program. I can not also take the desk in my apartment and in the storage we have not the possibilities to always build the desk. It's only about home patching the show and preparing presets. Here it would be nice to have such a thing, since I am so used to from our old desk.

You can use grandMA 3D and in GtandMA onPC. 

Its free but it works only in one direction you can use it for preview and preproduction. You can't make changes on the PC to transmit it to the console.

Yes that is true, this is a cheap possibility to pre-production. Had it ever tried with the glp creation on pc. But I did not run. I'm not so fit with the grand ma. But as you say, there is no way to edit on the pc and back up to the chimp

Chris how did you get the connection?

hi, i have no clue. one of my lightoperator, who is also working with MA, installed it on my Laptop.
i think, first you have to patch the fixtures on onPC and then you have to built the LAN connection.

i´m happy that it´s working :-)

Hello everybody,
so there is no chance to patch the chimp at home?
It is an interesting combination with grandma on pc....
can you tell us how it works?
thanks

Hi everyone,

I saw that the OS is running on linux kernel, am I right ?

So, maybe I could copy the internal HDD on an other and put it on my computer to prepare my shows at home ?

What do you think ? 

Thank you

Hi Backstyle,
I know 100% really for sure, that this won't work.
Every PCB inside is coded. You even can't swap a single PCB from another Chimp.
