⭕️ Halo is a real-time lighting console built for the console. It's lighting engine supports beat synchronized effects using Ableton Link and SMPTE Timecode.
Warning
This project is still in heavy development and not suitable for production use (even though I use it for my own shows).
- Control multiple groups of fixtures.
- Synchronize with an Ableton Link session.
- Network interface for Art-Net output
- Ableton Link compatible device/software (optional)
