Guides in the help
- What is a song show?A song show is a light show for exactly one song. It follows the song's structure with calm parts, build-ups and drops, and plays along in SoundSwitch automatically as soon as you load the song.Summary
- Song studio – parts, zones, notes and effect chainsThe song page works like a lighting console: tools on the left, the stage in the middle, below it the song as part cards and as a timeline with the beatgrid. On the right you adjust whatever you tapped below – the whole song, a part, a zone or a single note.Summary
- Your song is missing from the listThe song list only shows songs that SoundSwitch has already created a script file for. SoundSwitch creates this file once you open the song there, place an effect and save.Summary
- Choosing and opening a song“Songs” lists every song that SoundSwitch has set up for a show. Tap a song to open it in the Studio.Summary
- Song analysis: beatgrid, drops and breaksTo make the show fit the music, Droplit takes the beatgrid from SoundSwitch and listens to the audio file hit by hit. From that it builds the song parts Calm, Groove, Build-up, Drop and Breakdown, and the special moments: hard hits, drum passages, breaks, fills and impacts.Summary
- Adjusting song partsIn the song studio you see the song in parts – intro, verse, pre-chorus, chorus, bridge, solo, finale, end. You can listen to each part, lock it, reroll it or give it its own mood, e.g. every chorus “Wild” and the rest “Party”. The designer finds the parts without AI, straight from the music.Summary
- Basic structure from the song analysisIn Effect lanes, “Basic structure from song analysis” fills the whole song at once with building blocks from the effect library: a matching block for every drop, every groove and every calm part. Then you keep refining the clips.Summary
- Playing a song show with musicThe best way to check a song show is with the real music. In the Studio and in Effect lanes the preview then runs exactly on the song's beat, and you can jump straight to the drop or the breakdown.Summary
