Go to your downloads page to try the new builds. The full changelog is below but the headlines are :
- Gradients!
- Zone spread oscillator! Want a different colour/ scale/ position in every zone? Use this!
- New countdown in the Text Creator - put a Time/Date in and get a countdown in HH:MM:SS - New Year’s Eve! (Also new spacing controls for text).
- Capture.se pre-vis support, draft for testing (note that you can only visualise armed lasers, so your license matters)
- New MIDI controllers! APC Mini (Mk2 only)! Midi Fighter Twister!
These builds are very untested so let me know how they work for you!
To those that celebrate it - Happy Christmas! And to everyone else, enjoy the break!

Version : 1.0.3 Build 1
Build date : 23 Dec 2025
New features :
- Text Creator
- Countdown system now uses absolute time and optionally shows hours / minutes / seconds
- Can countdown to a specific date and time (New year’s eve, anyone?)
- Added character spacing and monospace options
- New colour gradients! On the Colour Change by Position and Colour Change modifiers, can now design gradients and how they interpolate between colours.
- New Zone Spread oscillator - can now adjust a value dependent on it’s zone number within active zones.
- Added APC Mini Mark 2 support! (draft, for feedback)
- Added MIDI Fighter Twister support! (draft, for feedback)
- APC 40 Mark 2 mapping
- Toggle ALT zones (ALT + RECORD)
- CHASE/DELAY
- Enabled / disable (USER)
- Chase / delay mode toggle (SHIFT + USER)
- Retrigger (ALT + SHIFT + USER)
- Support for Capture pre vis software. (draft, for feedback)
- Added “Stop groups” and “mute groups” to group settings to allow for “Flash solo” and more flexibility over group overrides - groups can now stop other groups
- Point rate now totally independent of scanner speed. (Increasing point rate will only increase the temporal resolution, not the scan speed, and is usually not necessary)
Minor improvements :
- Added “prefill” option to trails effect (for when you want the trails to already be present when starting a clip)
- Added angle to Noise Effector
- Added smoothing between “ticks” for improved high frame rate motion when synching to LTC Timecode
- Improvement to AVB sound interface selection and sample rate.
- Fixed Z order fighting for elements that are at the same Z position (in 3D)
- Clips are now layered in Z-order based on their X/Y grid position (for elements with the same z position)
- Zero opacity elements in SVG now hidden (useful for animations that use this)
- Added sample rate selection to all sound input selectors
- Improved MIDI controller support
- Added descriptive multiplier for Oscillator timings, triplet, three-quarter, dotted etc
- Updated licensing text to make out of dates certificates clearer
- Updated Ableton Link to use the new Asio library
Issues fixed :
- Fixed intermitted timeline bug where tempo was getting reset / lost on load / save.
- Ether dream reconnection improved on Windows
- Intensity value now set on Ether Dream points (almost all lasers don’t use this so I never realised it wasn’t set!)
- Fixed “sticking” CMD/CTL key in the interface
- Close down hangs identified and fixed
- Fixed line element position issue (“anchor” position was getting lost during processing)
- Fixed incorrect zone delay on outside to inside pattern
- Fixed MIDI send / receive bug - Note Off messages were a bit random
