01 / THE CONTROL SPACE
See the light.
Stay in control.
Faders, color, position and scenes, brought together in a workspace built around your fixtures. Keep the controls close and your attention on the room.
Actual English app screens, captured in a simulator with a dedicated demo project. Fixture and scene names are examples. Tap an image to see it full size.

Find your color
Work with the color and position controls defined by your fixture profile, including paired 16-bit parameters.
03
Make it move
Explore intensity, color and position effects. Save the combinations you want to use again.
02 / THE IDEA BEHIND LIVE
More room for light.
Less in the way.
A free app, a clear hardware focus, and a project that gets better with the people using it.
Our hardware comes first.
We focus our integration, testing and setup support on Pknight hardware. Art-Net and sACN provide the connection standards; they do not mean every device has been tested.
Improve it with us.
We are refining the app before its App Store release. Broader promotion will begin after release. For now, we welcome thoughtful testing, practical suggestions and clear bug reports.
Using another brand?
You can try third-party equipment that supports Art-Net or sACN, using the correct protocol, universe and DMX settings. We do not provide model-specific adaptation or compatibility support for other brands. You are responsible for configuring and checking that setup.
03 / BUILD THE MOMENT
One scene.
So many possibilities.
Save a look. Set the transition. Give every part of your show its own rhythm.
↗
Layer your scenes
Apply scenes to chosen fixtures and parameters. Your latest action takes over the parts that overlap.
Ⅱ
Run sequences side by side
Run multiple sequences with independent pause, resume and stop controls.
◇
Keep your setup with you
Save project files on your device or in iCloud Drive through the Files app. Keep a copy before important changes.
04 / FROM SETUP TO SHOWTIME
Your rig. Three simple steps.
01 ↗
Connect your network
Connect your iPhone or iPad and a compatible Art-Net or sACN node to the same local network. Select the node address and universe.
02 ↗
Add your fixtures
Find a profile, select the fixture mode and set its DMX address. Build a personal profile when you need one.
03 ↗
Create your look
Set the levels, choose the color and save a scene. Add effects and sequences as your ideas grow.
↳
You will need a compatible network-to-DMX node or a fixture with network input. The current test release supports one universe with Art-Net or sACN unicast output.
