SoundSwitch recently release version 1.4 with some really cool improvements that I'm excited about.
1) Quick auto shows. - If you don't want to spend a lot of time, SoundSwitch will analyze the song for you quickly and apply a show based on impact points of the music itself. And then you can go back through and fine tune if you want to and override any of the auto program. I'm really excited to be able to apply a basic program to more of my tunes, and then fine tune what I want the lights to do.
2) Midi Triggered Programs - This is what I'm most excited about. This will allow you to create a bank of ready to go programs, that can be triggered instantly to override whatever is on the track. You can use any midi controller - but I'm ordering a Midi Fighter 3D (DJ TechTools - Midi Fighter 3D) which will be how I launch different components. (I also am excited about playing with some advanced finger drumming, but that's more just for me).
3) They also are introducing color overrides to allow you to take control with a push of a button. I haven't seen how this works yet whether you can set it to hold, or if you actually have to hold the color override open to keep the color. But for sing along parts, it might be cool to be able to flash the room white, or something along with a tune.
Video of the release is here... but this software keeps getting better. And I love the pace of the innovation. They seem to be really listening to what DJs need.
