## What is Light DJ?

Your Philips Hue, LIFX, and Nanoleaf Light Panels will shine with the Light DJ Visualizer, our powerful and easy-to-use app that allows you to create stunning visual effects and light shows that are synchronized to your music or any audio input. Whether you're hosting a party or just want to elevate your music listening experience, this app offers a wide range of customizable options to help you create mesmerizing visuals that will enhance your lighting system.

*** THIS IS THE STANDALONE VISUALIZER VERSION. To try it first, or the full Light DJ experience, search for LIGHT DJ ENTERTAINMENT EFFECTS in the App Store! ***

With the Visualizer you can create the ultimate music listening experience with just a few taps. The app listens to your music and changes the effects based on the mood of the song, making your lights more active during intense parts of a song and flowy with softer melodies. The lights magically change colors at just the right moment, adding a new level of ambiance to your music.

COLORS PALETTES: Create palettes of up to 8 colors and store them in the app. The Visualizer will pick colors from your selected palette at random to display on your bulbs and panels.

QUICK-COLOR CHANGES: Tap the shuffle button to quickly select a new palette at random or use the drag feature to apply standard colors. You can also double-tap on a color to apply it everywhere immediately.

AUTO-COLOR SELECTION: When this option is enabled the Visualizer will analyze to your music and change the color palette when it detects a significant change in your music automatically. You'll be blown away each time the chorus hits or the DJ drops the beat.

MELLOW EFFECTS: Choose from one of 4 mellow effect modes that activate during softer music (Swirl, Wave, Solid, None)

ACTIVE EFFECTS: Choose from one of 5 active effects that activate during louder music (Fireworks, Splotches, Pulses, Flashes,  Special Mix)

NANOLEAF EFFECTS: Additional fill modes are included for Nanoleaf panels (Linear, Centroid, Bisect, Solid, Match Bulbs). Smoothness and angle can also be adjusted.

HUE ENTERTAINMENT: Using a Hue Entertainment area you'll enjoy higher quality effects; the Visualizer will respond faster and with better sync.

MULTI-BRIDGE SUPPORT: Combine lights from two or more bridges using the legacy effects or control multiple simultaneous entertainment areas.
