SoundSwitch is a music to DMX application that works with Serato. If I recall, @Albatross has been playing with it. Seems to be a bunch this weekend in the NYC area .. then on to the upper midwest .. then on to the left coast.

Indeed I have :)

I've had it out at a couple of gigs so far now, and I'm getting more used to how it operates.
 
Maybe one of you guys can explain "music to DMX" ???
Sounds like a sound active program.

Sounds like a sound active program.

What you're doing is programming your lighting cues into music files. So, anytime you run that song with SoundSwitch open, it will run the correct show. But, it is also linking the cues with the beat grid in Serato (currently). If you run the song sped up, slowed down, loop, hot cue, whatever... the lights all follow exactly what you're doing. But while you're performing, there is no need to do anything, you just DJ and the lights run.

If you don't feel like mapping out all of your tunes, or even a bunch of them... it will run autoprograms for unmapped songs. They will still lock to the beat grids in the music, so that one responds a bit more like a sound active program. But the overall software is far more robust than that.
