Live visuals and a light show for your music

The Show view turns a song into a stage: moving lights, haze and an LED wall that follow the chords and the drums, and laser patterns drawn on screen. Design the look like a lighting technician, send it full screen to a projector or screen, and keep it comfortable to watch.

A stage that plays with the song

Everything on the stage moves with the song's position in bars, not a timer, so the same moment always looks the same and a four-bar sweep comes back to where it started every four bars. Drum hits, bass notes, chords and lead notes arrive from the band, so the light lands where the music does. With no song playing, your own notes move the show.

Set up the show

The show setup panel works like a lighting desk: choose a look, set the colours, the number and spread of the moving lights, the haze, the LED wall and the laser patterns, decide what each section does, and add your own pictures for a backdrop, the LED wall or a logo. Save looks and share them as a file.

Output for a room

Go full screen on a second display or projector, or open a clean output window with nothing on it but the picture. A master level, blackout and freeze keys, mirror and flip for rear or ceiling projection, safe-frame guides and test patterns (bars, grid, ramp, grey, white, black) help you line the picture up. Record the stage as a video with the song's sound.

Light comfort

Flashes are limited. Calm, Standard and Full set how much the lights may strobe and how hard they pulse, and a limiter watches the picture itself and eases off if it flashes too much. It is an engineering safeguard, not a medical guarantee. If you or your audience are sensitive to flashing light, choose Calm or turn the strobe off.

What the lasers are

The lasers are drawn on the screen. Nothing in the app drives laser hardware.

Questions

Can it control real lights or lasers?
No. It is a visual simulation on a screen or projector. It does not send DMX, ILDA or any other control signal.
Are my pictures uploaded?
No. Stage pictures are kept in this browser and are not part of song files.
Can I use it for a live set?
Yes, as a screen or projector visual. Check it on the actual display and computer beforehand: how smooth it is depends on your graphics hardware, and the app lowers its detail on its own if it runs slowly.
