Live settings
In the live settings you decide when Autoloops change, how looks are layered and whether family party safety is on. The settings apply to all projects in this browser.
Step by step
- Open the live settings.
- “Autoloop changes”: when a new loop starts. “instantly”, “next beat” (default) or “next bar”. On the beat or the downbeat looks cleanest.
- “Layered static looks”: “layered (2.11)” like SoundSwitch 2.11, the last look pressed wins. “only one” like older versions: a new look turns the previous one off.
- “Fade looks”: “hard”, “1 s”, “3 s” or “8 s”. Looks then fade in and out softly.
- “Family party safety”: “on” limits the strobe button to at most 3 flashes per second.
- Only in the “Control One” layout: “Control One connected to”. “Computer (SoundSwitch)” drives SoundSwitch 1:1, “Engine unit (standalone)” has the Engine Lighting limits.
- Only in the “PRIME 4” layout: “PRIME 4 model”. “PRIME 4 / 4+” controls lighting on the touchscreen only, “PRIME 4 G2” also via the lighting pad pages. You can also switch right at the top left of the view.
- Tap “Done”. Every choice applies right away.
More from “Live mode”
- Opening live modeLive mode plays all Autoloops, static looks and song shows of your project on the 3D stage, and you control them the way you do on the night: on the computer, on the PRIME 4 or on the Control One. That way you see how your shows work together before the gig.Summary
- Live Desk: control your show while you DJThe Live Desk is your own MIDI surface for SoundSwitch: on your computer, tablet and phone. It comes mapped to your show, with the names and colors of your loops and looks. There is nothing to learn or map.Summary
- Spot Director: guide your movers from your phone on the nightWith Spot Director you guide your moving heads from your phone or tablet during the event. Tap the floor and all selected heads go there together. Drag your finger and they follow the couple across the dance floor.Summary
- Choosing the controls: Perform, PRIME 4, Control One, StageAt the top of live mode you choose what the controls look like. Each layout recreates a device, so you pick your shows the same way you do on the night.Summary
- Playing Autoloops and static looks liveIn the “Perform” layout you see SoundSwitch 2.11 in Performance mode, just like on your laptop after clicking “MIDI”: the same tabs, buttons, colors and spacing. You play Autoloops and static looks there just as on the night.Summary
