Monitor for every department
Big countdown, next section, current DJ – on phone, tablet or monitor, roles for lighting, video, pyro, stage and DJ.
Lighting control from DJ data · macOS
Light that knows the drop.
LUMACUE listens to PRO DJ LINK on the club network, knows which deck is on air, counts down to the next drop and feeds the lighting desk timecode, BPM and commands – right on cue.
Free without an account. No cloud, no telemetry – runs entirely on the club LAN.

CDJ
LUMACUE just sits on the CDJ-3000/DJM network switch and passively reads PRO DJ LINK: track, position, BPM, which deck is on air. Nothing is sent to the players.

Countdown
The analysis detects intro, build-up, drop and kick rolls and counts down in seconds, bars and beats – with confidence. A big monitor view for lighting, video, pyro and stage on any phone or tablet on the LAN.

Desk
Timecode (LTC, MTC, Art-Net), BPM/speedmaster and grandMA2/3 commands reach the desk at the right moment. All outputs are off by default, grandMA runs dry, commands only via whitelist – the desk stays in charge.
Automation with node editor
Draw trigger → condition → action: grandMA go on the drop, strobe preset on a kick roll, intro program on DJ change.
Analysis of your own tracks
Local analysis of music files (sections, drops, kick rolls, beat grid) – nothing leaves the computer. Simulation mode with virtual CDJs to prepare without hardware.
Built for lighting techs and clubs
