TORRANCE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Following the release of rekordbox ver 5.1 on 18th January 2018, the next version of our music management application, rekordbox, will be available on 20th February 2018. The updated software will bring new features to rekordbox dj including Lighting mode, which enables you to easily sync lights with your music during a performance.
Using the advanced phrase analysis algorithm in rekordbox (ver 5.1), Lighting mode automatically creates exciting lighting sequences in sync with the tracks in your rekordbox library, drastically reducing pre-performance preparation time. The information generated in Lighting mode can be sent to any lighting fixture that supports DMX5121 via the RB-DMX1, a new dedicated DMX interface.
How to use Lighting mode
To control DMX512-supported
lighting fixtures using rekordbox dj, you need the dedicated DMX
interface, RB-DMX1.
The RB-DMX1 will be available from early March 2018 at an MAP of $349. It comes with a bundled license key for our professional DJ performance application rekordbox dj, worth $129.
Watch our introduction video for Lighting mode or find out more about the RB-DMX1, a new dedicated DMX interface.
1DMX512 is a communication protocol used for controlling stage lighting equipment.
KEY FEATURES OF REKORDBOX LIGHTING MODE
1. Automatic creation of lighting patterns in
sync with your music
The newly developed phrase analysis
algorithm in rekordbox detects characteristics of each phrase in a
track. Effective lighting patterns are then automatically created in
perfect sync with the phrase information, minimizing the time you need
to prepare for a DJ and lighting performance.
2. Macro Mapping feature for easily customizing
lighting patterns
Easily customize lighting patterns by
simply selecting your favorite sequences from a wealth of pre-sets.
Select patterns intuitively from thumbnail images that visualize the
lighting fixture movement as well as the colors and tones of lighting
patterns. You can quickly edit your lighting performance to match the
atmosphere of the party and track requests.
3. Macro Editor feature for intuitively
editing lighting sequences
Fine-tune lighting patterns
by checking track analysis information such as waveforms and beatgrid.
While listening to the music, you can edit patterns manually using the
intuitive GUI.
4. Fixture Library for flexible lighting
fixture configuration
Using the lighting fixture library
from AtlaBase Ltd, Lighting mode supports DMX fixtures from a wide
variety of manufacturers. Create and save multiple lighting fixture
configurations using fixtures you’ve assigned in the rekordbox Fixture
Library. Lighting patterns are automatically recreated for each fixture
configuration, so you can easily change the configuration you want to
use according to the size and purpose of the event and venue. The
AtlaBase fixture library comprises more than 13,000 unique fixtures. In
the unlikely event that you can’t find your fixture, simply post a
request in Pioneer DJ forum and the fixture will be added within a few
working days.
