gCue2Tracks: Convert Lighting Cues to Musical Arrangements

An open-source software that converts GrandMA2 show files into MIDI or OSC tracks for use in DAWs, allowing lighting designers to turn their cues into musical arrangements.

What is GCue2Tracks?

gCue2Tracks is an open-source Windows application developed specifically for converting MA Lighting GrandMA2 show files (.show.gz) into MIDI or OSC tracks. It was created by MA Lighting to allow lighting designers using their GrandMA2 lighting consoles to convert lighting cues from their shows into musical arrangements in digital audio workstations (DAWs).

Here are some key features of gCue2Tracks:

• Converts GrandMA2 timeline cues into MIDI notes/controllers or OSC messages
• Mappings are fully customizable to trigger any parameters in your DAW
• Set cue timing, duration, overlap, note/controller values
• Support for MIDI channels, MIDI ports, MIDI bank/presets
• Free and open-source software

By using gCue2Tracks, MA Lighting console users can leverage the sequencing capabilities built into the GrandMA2 to arrange musical parts and automation for their productions. The converted MIDI/OSC output can then be imported into any DAW like Ableton Live, Logic Pro, etc. This provides an intuitive workflow and timesaving approach for programmers and composers alike.
