Lumographe Early
Read full descriptionHide full description
Lumographe Early is a DMX512 lighting console for iPad and iPhone. It is built for lighting designers, board operators, technicians and venue crews who prepare, rehearse and run a show. EVERYTHING IS UNLOCKED No feature is gated. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no ads shown. PATCH Patch from a library of fixtures and DMX modes, or describe your own profiles. Every fixture exposes its real parameters: intensity, RGB and RGBW colour, variable white, green/magenta tint, strobe, pan and tilt, gobos, prism, zoom. CELLS AND FADERS A cell table to select, group, filter and edit live. Faders that show exactly what the engine sends, channel by channel, with no drift between the screen and the output. SCENES, EFFECTS, TIMELINES Store scenes and recall them with a fade. Build effects (chases, sine, fire, random, rainbow) and drop them onto a selection. Record timelines live, chain sequences, edit them step by step. LIGHTING PLOT Place your fixtures on a plot, annotate it, export it, and control the rig straight from the plot. DJ MODE A dedicated trigger surface: scene pads, assignable faders, tempo-locked effects. REAL DMX OUTPUT Art-Net and sACN to a node on the local network, wireless Bluetooth DMX nodes, DMX input, up to 256 universes. Output status stays visible at all times: what is being sent, on which universe, to which target. CONTROL AND SYNC OSC, MIDI with learn on faders and scenes, LTC timecode through the audio input, HomeKit lights alongside DMX, and the Tournesol bridge (ESP32-S3) to follow the sun. SHARED SET Several iPads and iPhones on the same show, over local Wi-Fi or the Internet. Every participant has a colour, and you can see who just touched what. BUILT-IN SIMULATOR A 512-channel DMX simulator lets you patch, program and rehearse without a single fixture plugged in. It is also the fastest way to discover the app. PRIVACY Your projects stay on your device. An account is optional: it covers cloud backup, the shared set and your settings following you across devices. Crash reporting and usage statistics can be switched off in the settings. With your consent in Settings and the iOS tracking permission for Google, the app measures which ads lead to its install; your projects are never shared. Published by NOLO (SAS), Paris.
