Own Showfile V2? See what you get
Sales are paused while we move everything to V3. They reopen on 1 March. Get a reminder and be there on launch day.
Built and tested on real productions. You start from a working structure instead of an empty file.
Patch your fixtures, assign your groups, run the setup. Layouts, colors and FX are on the executors.
12 intensity FX, 10 position FX, 10 multi FX and 16 positions per group, plus a color picker for each.
Every look is built from your groups and presets. A new rig only needs a new patch. You don’t need to know recipes to use it.
Rename things and add your own content. Macros never touch your sequences, the structure stays intact.
A compatible USB stick holds your license. Your show opens and plays back without it. Only the setup tools and plugins need the stick, which is what makes a copied file useless to anyone else.
Runs on grandMA3 consoles and grandMA3 onPC. Prepare at home, play at the venue.

What’s a fixture group? One fully built layer of the showfile: FX, positions, colors and executors for one fixture type. Any number of fixtures per group.
Upgrading later? You pay the difference, get a new showfile and move your programming over. The upgrade video shows how. If you plan bigger shows, start in the tier you’ll grow into.

From checkout to your first show.
Secure checkout via Paddle on our own checkout page. You never leave mblightarts.de.
Your showfile, your license key and every update are in your account.
Run the activation plugin from the plugin pool with a stick that stays with your console. It needs internet once per stick and once per new version.
Load the showfile on your console or onPC, patch your fixtures and assign your groups. The setup walkthrough covers every step.
Showfile V3.0.0 comes out on 1 March. The current release, Showfile V2.4.1, is tested with MA3 2.5.1.0. Check your console software before you buy.
Ask us in the support chat, in English, German, French or Spanish. Tell us your rig and we’ll tell you which tier fits.
No. You start from a working show instead of an empty file, and the setup walkthrough takes you through every step. LITE covers the essentials, and you can upgrade anytime for the difference.
Count your fixture types. Each type gets its own fixture group: LITE has 4, PRO 6, ULTRA 8. Song-based shows with setlists and timecode need ULTRA. Not sure? Ask us in the support chat.
With the showfile itself. Effects, cue recipes and layouts are already built the MA3 way, and you learn the console on a working show. Load it, patch your rig and follow the setup walkthrough.
Yes. The showfile runs on grandMA3 consoles and on grandMA3 onPC.
Activation needs a compatible USB stick. Supported today: SanDisk . More manufacturers follow step by step. Want to use a different stick? Ask support and we check it. For security reasons we may turn down some manufacturers and no-name sticks.
Activation is permanent. Use a stick that stays with your console. Lost or broken? Support adds a slot. Activation needs internet, once per stick and once per new version. Your show runs offline.
Your show keeps running. The showfile opens and plays back without the stick. Only the setup tools and plugins need it, which means layout changes and the bigger tools wait until it’s back.
Yes. You patch your own fixtures and assign them to the groups. The demo patch is only a starting point.
Bought V2 on or after 1 March 2026? V3 in the same tier is free for you. Bought earlier? You move to V3 at a launch price until 30 April. From 1 March, claim your V2 with your email and Digistore24 order number. That creates your account, and from there you move to V3, free or at your upgrade price.
Yes. You pay the difference between the two tiers, get a new showfile and move your programming over. The upgrade video shows how.
Yes, with V3 ULTRA and ULTRA MAX, permanently. That holds whether you buy the tier, upgrade to it or get it free as a V2 owner. With LITE or PRO you can add it separately.
At least one year. If a new major version comes out within 12 months of your purchase, you get it in your tier for free. We want the showfile to last, and we won’t release a new major version every year. See the License Agreement for the full terms.
Your license is personal. It covers one person or one company and includes two activations, for example your main and your backup console. Need more sticks for your team? Add another license. This applies to every tier.
You get the download right away. At checkout you agree to immediate delivery, which ends the right of withdrawal. Not sure the showfile fits your setup? Ask us before you buy. Full terms: Refund Policy, Terms of Use and License Agreement.
Three steps: adapt your patch, adapt your groups, update your presets. That is the whole workflow. The YouTube tutorial shows each step.
Yes. The file is not a clone show. Replace fixtures, keep your standard presets, or wipe everything and start from scratch. The structure stays.
Yes. The Template Showfile is built on cue recipes and a playback master structure. Macros never touch your sequences. Change it as you like.
Every release since V2, each tested with the MA3 version it was built for.
