Built for DJs
Everything you need to create stunning light shows without the hassle
Live Wire
Point DMXDesktop at any live audio - a mixer, a band, streaming, vinyl - and the lights perform themselves in real time. No DJ-software integration or analyzed tracks needed.
DJ Mode
Our intelligent lighting engine analyzes your music in real-time and generates perfectly synchronized light shows automatically.
Beat Sync
Advanced beat detection locks your lights to the music. Every drop, every build-up, perfectly timed.
Built-in Music Player
Two-deck mixer with full DJ Mode support. Load tracks, create playlists, and let the lights follow.
DJ Software Integration
Connect to Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor, and more via MIDI, OSC, or Ableton Link for seamless sync.
Quick Controls
One-touch access to color themes, strobes, and effects. Perfect for live adjustments during your set.
MIDI Mapping
Map any MIDI controller to control your lights. Use your existing DJ gear to trigger effects.
Stream Deck control
Put blackout, effect cues, colour and DJ transport on labelled keys and work the room instead of the laptop. Free Elgato Stream Deck plugin from v1.0.52.
SoundSwitch Control One
Full support for the Control One: per-pad colors, the visualizer ring, both DMX outputs, and the OLED screen showing live status and Ableton Link.
Per-Genre Settings
Tune energy, strobe, variety and timings for each genre, so a house set and a rock set do not get the same show.
Movement Speed Per Group
Cap pan and tilt speed on the heads that cannot keep up, group by group. Effect cues respect it too, so a fast track never asks more of a fixture than it can physically do.
How It Works
From setup to showtime in three simple steps
Connect Your Lights
Plug in any USB DMX adapter and add your fixtures. Our library has thousands of pre-built profiles.
Enable DJ Mode
Turn on DJ Mode and select your color theme. That's it - you're ready to go.
Play Your Music
Drop tracks on the built-in player or connect your DJ software. Watch your lights come alive.
When you cannot analyze the music first
DJ Mode builds a show from a track it has read in advance. Live Wire is for the nights when there is nothing to read: a guest DJ on their own laptop, a streaming service, vinyl, a live band. Point DMXDesktop at the sound in the room, pick a mood, and the rig performs itself as the night goes on.
It runs on the rig you already own and a USB DMX interface. There is no separate box and no second machine.
Any source
A mixer feed, the computer’s own audio, or an input on your interface. No plugin, no linked DJ application, no prepared files.
Hands on when you want it
Hold the current look, change mode or take the room dark from a MIDI pad, a Stream Deck key or your phone, then let it carry on.
It knows what your rig is for
Give your groups a role and Live Wire uses them the way an operator would, instead of chasing everything at once.
Live Wire is included with the Standard and Pro plans.
