What's new

Broadcast only the universes you need, and get a faster, steadier response from Wi-Fi Art-Net nodes.

• tune Per-universe Art-Net output — Turn U1–U4 on or off individually in Settings → Art-Net. Every universe your license allows stays available for patching and live control, whether or not it is broadcast.
• speed Steadier Wi-Fi nodes — A universe is sent only when its values change, with a once-per-second refresh, so moving content keeps its full rate while unused universes stop flooding the network. Changes to the selection apply instantly, no restart needed.

• check New installs broadcast Universe 1 only; existing installs keep their current universes.

A new guided setup takes you from your first patched fixture to a scene recalled live, step by step on the real application screens.

• school Guided setup — Patch a fixture, make the light respond, save a Scene, add a Scene button to your mixer and recall it live. “Take me there” opens the right screen and highlights the control to use; each step completes only when the work is really done.
• shield Practice without hardware — Learn with no lights connected: practice mode disables every physical output (DMX, Art-Net, sACN, Tuya) until you choose to switch to hardware. Everything you create while learning stays in your project.

• check Restart the guided setup any time from Settings → Guided setup; plans without the Mixer Designer recall the Scene from the Scenes screen instead.

Relackout is now available for Linux, with AppImage and .deb packages for x64 and ARM64 systems.

• desktop_windows Linux support — Choose the x64 or ARM64 download for your Linux system. AppImage and .deb packages are available for both architectures.

Sound Reactive now analyzes music in much finer detail, with an optional automatic level control that adapts to your room and a single master sensitivity knob you can adjust from Settings or right on the mixer widget — plus a fix for microphone input going silent on Mac, and text fields on Windows that finally accept typing everywhere.

• graphic_eq Sound Reactive gets much more detail — Music is now analyzed across 8 frequency bands instead of 3, so lights track bass, mids, and highs with far more nuance — and hits feel snappier now that the response isn't double-smoothed.
• tune Automatic — or manual — sensitivity — Turn on auto-gain to let Relackout adapt to your room and sound source on its own, or leave it off and dial in sensitivity yourself with the new master gain control — available from the Sound to Light page and right on the mixer widget.
• mic Microphone input fixed on Mac — Sound Reactive lighting driven by a microphone stayed silent on macOS — that's fixed, so mic input now works as expected.

• check Windows: Art-Net/DMX output is smoother and stays steady even when the app is minimized.

Pick and reorder which Sound-to-Light presets show on the Sound Reactive widget, give any widget a custom color, get warned about duplicate Sound Reactive widgets, and enjoy a fixed player that no longer jumps tracks or forgets where it stopped.

• graphic_eq Sound Reactive preset picker — Choose which Sound-to-Light presets appear on the widget and reorder them with arrows — leave it unset and every preset still shows in save order, just like before.
• palette Custom color, everywhere — Fader, knob, color picker, music player, masters, notes, Sound Reactive, and Show Transport widgets all gained the custom frame/fill color that other widgets already had.
• warning Duplicate widget warning — Adding a second Sound Reactive widget now asks for confirmation, and every duplicate shows a persistent badge on the mixer layout.

Connect Relackout to Kalfa, sync your fixture inventory to the cloud, and import AI-generated lighting designs as ready-to-use scenes and cues — plus step-by-step cue playback, Sound-to-Light presets, and device naming.

• hub Kalfa Packages inbox — Lighting designs generated in Kalfa (kalfa.art) arrive in the app. Preview any cue live on your rig, import selectively or all at once — every design becomes a separate Scene + Cue you can assign on the mixer.
• cloud_sync Cloud fixture inventory — Your patched fixtures, modes, and groups sync to your account, so Kalfa designs against the lights that actually exist on your stage.
• stacks Step-by-step cue playback — New manual play mode: advance cues only with GO, jump to any step by clicking, and always see the active step highlighted.
• graphic_eq Sound-to-Light presets — Save mapping sets as named presets and switch them from the page or the touch-ready selector on the Sound Reactive widget.

• check Pagination on long lists (scenes, cues, notes, Kalfa packages)
• check Name this device from Settings — the label appears in the customer panel and Kalfa device pickers
• check Cue page header now hosts the play-mode selector and visualizer button

Built-in support center, a shared fixture library, undo everywhere, multi-device USB DMX and sACN output — plus a big round of editor and remote upgrades.

• support_agent Built-in Support Center — Create support tickets right from Settings (or the customer panel), follow threaded replies, and get notified by email and in-app badges when we answer.
• lightbulb Community Fixture Library — Official and community fixtures in one searchable library. Download with one click, or share your own fixture from inside the app.
• undo Undo everywhere — Cmd/Ctrl+Z across Scene Designer values, patch and fixture deletions, and cue steps — mistakes on stage are no longer permanent.
• tune Fixture controls inside editors — The semantic fixture panel (joystick, RGB picker, beam sections) is now embedded in Cue step editing and Scene Designer — no more raw channel guessing.
• library_music Music import wizard — Bulk import from files or folders (or drag & drop), cleaned track names, duplicate skipping, optional auto-playlist — and playlist reordering.
• usb Multi-device USB DMX — Assign each USB dongle to its own universe (or mirror one universe to several) from Settings, with hot-plug awareness.
• settings_input_antenna sACN (E1.31) output — Multicast sACN alongside Art-Net: per-universe senders, configurable priority, and unchanged-frame suppression with keep-alive.
• settings_remote Remote grows up — Design mixer layouts from the web remote, drive cues with a touch-first transport page, and lock your zoom/position so faders never slip mid-show.

• check Cue Stack completed: add steps from the live stage state or empty, once/loop toggle, inline rename, full TR/EN localization.
• check Optional crash reporting (off by default) — anonymous version/platform/stack only, so we can fix issues faster.
• check Performance acceptance harness: the 25 ms engine is now continuously verified (tick jitter p99 < 5 ms under load).

The largest update so far — multi-layer Effect Wizard, Tempo & BPM with live BPM follow, MIDI and OSC control, stage visualizer, and a redesigned mobile remote.

• auto_awesome Effect Wizard v2 — Multi-layer effects — 29 movement, 19 intensity, 15 color patterns — with live preview, symmetry, phase, convergence (look-at), 8 palettes, and saveable recipes.
• speed Tempo & BPM — Central tempo clock with beat-locked effects, tap-tempo, MIDI Clock sync, quantize, live BPM follow, and preset tempos.
• piano MIDI Control — Native MIDI input with bindings and a learn UI to map faders, buttons, and scenes to physical controllers.
• settings_input_antenna OSC Control — OSC over UDP with an IP allowlist, running alongside MIDI on a shared control surface.
• view_in_ar Stage Visualizer & Calibration — Konva stage layout, a visualizer window, fixture pan/tilt degrees, calibration, fixture groups, and box-select.
• settings_remote Mobile Remote, Redesigned — Fixture Control rebuilt for touch: type tabs + Common, touch-first joysticks, drawer, and device search.
• dashboard_customize Mixer & Multi-Cue — Joystick widget with group binding, plus cueButton/cueFader and simultaneous multi-cue playback.
• backup Backup & Restore — Full ZIP export/import, factory reset, and a backup/restore UI.

• check Live Control: smoother response with instant value hold and channel flash.
• check Mobile remote: faster layout switching via a lightweight summary channel.
• check Improved OFL import and playback-state management.
