Captivate 2 generates live visuals and dmx lighting. All synchronized to music. Based on the wonderful work of Spencer @spencbot with Captivate as well as @fwcd and his fork of Captivate. Due to the discontinued nature of Captivate I am working to build upon the original code base with many new features and UI enhancements
Captivate is groundbreaking software that revolutionizes stage lighting and visuals. Music is intuitive, dynamic, and fun. Thanks to captivate, creating a visual experience feels just as good.
Concert quality visuals and lighting that is easy, fun, and dynamic. Captivate is designed to run autonomously, or you can take as much control as you'd like.
Captivate's design was inspired by synthesisers, so you'll find familiar tools like LFO's, midi integration, pads, and randomizers.
Captivate 2 builds upon this premise and brings new features and enhancements like a full feature fixture library database and the ability to share and import DMX fixtures, multi-window interface for multi screen control, multi-universe USB and Artnet, UI tooltips to help first time users learn the interface, Other UI tweaks and enhancements, and more!
Configure your dmx universe in minutes.
Tell Captivate which fixtures you have, and where they are located in space.
Add fixtures seamlessly, without the need to update scenes.
With captivate 2, hundreds or even thousands of DMX channels boil down to a handful of intuitive parameters
Take control of these parameters live with MIDI mapping or your keyboard and mouse, or automate them with Captivate's familiar, synth-like modulation tools.
Light groups allow you to add complexity as needed
Combine visualizers and effects in any way to perfect your visual experience
Add your own videos and photos to create something truly unique
Visualizers and effects listen to the parameters from the active light scene so lighing and visuals are automatically synchronized.
With Captivate 2, you'll forget there are 512 DMX channels and up to 16 universes running behind the scenes
With integrated Ableton Link technology, captivate can synchronize bpm and phase with hundreds of music apps across devices.
Intuitive MIDI mapping allows bi-directional synchronization with industry standard MIDI devices of different types, allows endless possabilities for control and syncronization.
Since all dmx channels boil down to the same parameters, captivate scenes can play on any lighting setup. Add and remove fixtures, or change venues with ease.
