Scene Designer & Mixer

Design custom mixer layouts with faders, buttons, scene and cue triggers, music players, and Notes widgets tied to multi-page documents you author in the app.

Effect Wizard

Design moving-light effects in two steps: select fixtures, then combine layers. Three independent layers for movement, intensity, and color—63 built-in patterns total—are sampled together with live preview. Symmetry, phase, convergence (look-at), and ready-made palettes build complex looks in seconds; save them as recipes and reuse.

  • check_circle 3 layers: 29 movement, 19 intensity, 15 color patterns
  • check_circle Symmetry (mirror pan) and phase sources: sequence, odd-even, left-right, center-out
  • check_circle Convergence: fixtures aim at a single point (look-at + calibration)
  • check_circle 8 ready color palettes, live SVG preview, save/load recipes
