### 5/5 — Vibrio

*2026-07-08, version 2.6*

I first found Vibrio recommended on some YouTube channels,
And have been using since then,
I has its limitations, but if you plan the show out before setting inside the venue you can save yourself some time, 
Create profiles for the new fixtures,
Load all the lights that will be used on the show,
That will give you a list of the DMX addresses ,
Load all the appropriate addresses into all the fixtures!
I am lucky I can bring the lights home for a ruff test, 
The only thing missing is the position files,
I often create everything , then at the gig I only have positions to enter ! Create Sequences & effects to add complexity to the shows, I am doing sound at the same time , so I need it to take the stress out of situation,
I have been doing lights for over 40 years ,
But I need control of the design stage, as I have been dumped in festival gigs where I hate the concepts of coverage & had to deal with it ! I can say it was at all enjoyable !
I just say no ! Better to have control in the design stage,
Rock & roll lighting sucks !

### 2/5 — Klasse Software die stabil läuft, aber …

*2026-03-05, version 2.5*

Vibrio war schon immer meine erste Wahl wenn es um eine umfangreiche und leicht zu bedienende DMX Software geht. Leider muss man mittlerweile den vollen Preis für ein Update von 256 Kanälen auf 512 Kanäle bezahlen. Das ist ein absolutes NOGO!

### 4/5 — Ottimo

*2025-07-20, version 2.5*

Ottimo software che fa tutto quello che serve….una volta programmato è molto semplice da utilizzare. Peccato che non ci sia la funzione di cambio scena a ritmo di musica automaticamente.

### 1/5 — Gruselig!

*2025-06-16, version 2.5*

Seit ewigen Zeiten kein Support mehr. Midi funktioniert immer noch nicht.
Rausgeschmissenes Geld für die Zusatzkanäle. Ich hebe jetzt zu Daslight gewechselt. 100x besser und professioneller

### 4/5 — Nicely written for many different skill sets

*2025-04-14*

This program has been in use for more than two years and it has proven to be quite effective. Most often it controls two 4-light trees  and a wall washer that is operating independently of the trees. It replaced an ‘obey 40.’ It is also used in a two universe arrangement with a separate iPad for each universe. Both scenarios utilize Chauvet AN2 bridges. It has performed admirably. 

 The only item that would make a significant impact to ease of use would be an audio trigger for the BPM light sequence timing. A bluetooth remote microphone option to the internal microphones would be a level above. 

Working the audio mixer takes precedence in the mentioned situations so sometimes the lights are on timing from the previous song. A remote BPM audio trigger would handily resolve the issue. 

The interface is uncluttered and well organized. It is obvious that this software is quite capable of handling a much larger more involved system than the above mentioned.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2025-04-11, version 2.4.1*

Yep, absolutely phenomenal. Better than Luminair and no subscription needed. Try out the 16CH free version - it’ll be worth it. Easy but powerful effects generator. Intuitive scene playback workflow.

Ideas for future versions? Custom layout of tiles (i.e. place tiles anywhere on the grid). Better display of tile names (text wrapping?) and option to use background image for tiles.

### 1/5 — User interface lacking

*2024-12-02*

user interface is far from intuitive. Would like to be able to address more than one universe

### 5/5 — Needs to be able to run in background

*2024-10-26*

I like this app and have been using it for live shows for a couple years now.  But there is one glaring issue that will drive me to look elsewhere and that is the inability to run sequences when app is running in the background.  I use a single iPad to both mix and run lights.  I pop back and forth to change scenes as needed but I really need the sequences to continue to run while I’m mixing.  Developers, please add this capability!!  With background capability I would rate it a 5.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2024-05-29*

Great interface and it allows editing of scenes while shows are running unlike competitors. Needs more support for moving heads, and needs more updates. Updates are VERY infrequent. I’ve emailed the team about some bugs I’ve found, with no responses. Keep up the good work guys but please provide some updates. Please provide better release notes so we know what OS version is safe to use with Vibrio.

### 1/5 — Worked ok until I bought it

*2024-03-16*

Now my fixtures don’t show up in scenes under edit
