Your iPhone knows what you're doing on stage. And it can trigger everything. Orchestr iPhone is both a complete stage monitor and an autonomous mini-booth. Free for the essentials. Formidable in Pro. FREE — THE PERFORMER'S DEVICE Connect your iPhone to Orchestr Mac or iPad on the same network. Instantly, with no setup: · Real-time display of current cue and next cue · Timer and countdown visible on stage · Play / Pause the show from iPhone · Remote cue advancement Your iPhone becomes the booth's extension — in the wings, in your pocket, in your line of sight. PRO — THE SOLO PERFORMER'S BOOTH An interface built for iPhone. Not a timeline — steps. Each step contains cues. Steps form routines. Build your show the way you work on stage: sequence by sequence, gesture by gesture. PRO CUES Marc Antoine Magic Props — Bulb E, Pro Light Connected, Neuro Light, standalone modules and all upcoming products in the range. One place to control all your connected props, without juggling multiple apps. Virtuoz — Trigger your Virtuoz effects directly from a routine. Synchronized with the rest of your show. NFC — Approach an NFC card: a routine fires. Or music plays. Or both. Program each card's action directly in the app. The card becomes an invisible trigger — a prop, an object, a sleeve — that fires your show without anyone understanding how. Video — Launch videos from your library. Full screen, discreet, integrated in your routine. Connected Bulbs — Control your connected bulbs: color, intensity, transitions. In the routine, at the right moment. Bridge to Orchestr — From an iPhone routine, trigger a cue on Orchestr Mac or iPad running at the booth. iPhone becomes the bridge between your gesture on stage and all the technical infrastructure behind it. A BLE remote in your pocket, a Mac at the booth, iPhone making the link — the audience sees nothing. OSC — Send OSC messages to any compatible software. QLab, MadMapper, TouchDesigner — trigger anything from a routine. THE LIGHT THAT TRAVELS With Marc Antoine Magic's Pro Light Connected — catch light at your fingertips. Send it into a Bulb E. Into connected bulbs across the room. The light seems to move through space, from one source to another, under the control of your hands. Also control your iPhone's torch — pulses, choreographed flickers, visual effects. An extra prop you already have in your pocket. SHARE YOUR ROUTINES Save your routines. Share them via AirDrop or email. Another performer imports in one tap — the routine is in their app, ready to run. Build a community of setups. Exchange configurations. Adapt others' work to your act. BUILT FOR Magicians — native Marc Antoine Magic props, invisible NFC, Virtuoz, Blackout mode. Solo performers — autonomous booth without Mac, without technician, without compromise. Connected artists — the bridge between physical props and software infrastructure. BLACKOUT MODE Turn off the screen. The show keeps running. Routines play, BLE triggers work, props respond. No stray light. The audience sees nothing. One-time purchase. 12 months of updates included. Bug fixes free for life. The basic mode is free and works without purchase.
