Introducing:   LivePRO

The visual synthesizer for laser shows

Musical synthesizers create and combine a variety of sounds, letting an accomplished musician play the sounds together, to make an enthralling sonic experience.
     Like a synthesizer for laser shows, Pangolin's new LivePRO creates and combines beams, graphics and abstracts, allowing accomplished laserists to play all of these together, to make an enthralling visual experience.

"Polyphonic" laser visuals

LivePRO goes far beyond previous live-performance laser software. You can layer up to four beam and graphic cues at once. It's like going from playing one note at a time, to three notes of a chord plus a melody.
     For example, beam effects can be playing on tracks 1 and 2, while mirror ball effects are playing on track 3 and graphic animations are playing on track 4. Or, have four separate graphic tracks fade in and out, layering and interacting at the same time on a single screen.

Over 1700 cues

Just as a musical synthesizer has hundreds of preset sounds, LivePRO gives you the tremendous variety of over 1700 preset cues at a time. Each cue can contain an image, two separate effects, a color sequence, and a beam sequence -- or any combination.
     And just like a musical synthesizer allows you to change the sound while you're playing, LivePRO allows you to modify a cue's size, position, rotation, scan rate, color, and other parameters live while you are playing the show.
     When it's time to switch from one cue to another, you don't have to jump-cut. Smooth transitions include morphing, fading, zooming, etc. You can even create your own transition effects.

Beam and TTL chasers

In addition to the four tracks, LivePRO also has two independent chasers. The Beam Chaser can target up to 64 different mirrors. The TTL Chaser is designed for optical tables with actuators and it can also control external effects such as rotating mirrors and fog machines. Both chasers let you control the speed, direction, pattern and other chase parameters.

Runs itself with automatic audio, beat and cue systems

In live music, the beat is the key. You can listen to the beat and play LivePRO manually using the computer keyboard or one of the controllers shown here. Or you can allow LivePRO to run itself. Each group of 12 cues can have its own beat pattern. LivePRO can then detect the musical beats and automatically trigger cues according to the patterns that you define. LivePRO can also change the size, position, color and other parameters based on the amplitude and frequency content within the music. While these automatic functions are running, you can change additional parameters manually -- or just sit back and enjoy the show.
