SYNC ENGINE / MEASURED

Sample-accurate sync, verified under stage load.

The engine anchors audio, lights, and video to one tempo source — not a chain of MIDI loopback patches. Every figure below comes from a third-party bench test or a 2023–24 user survey of 1,180+ acts.

0.8ms

Drift over a 4-hour set

Measured between the audio click and the lighting console output across a four-hour headline set, with no manual re-sync.

SHOW MODE · DAY-OF

A 90-minute cue stack, collapsed to three buttons.

Producers ship the show as one file. On stage, Show Mode surfaces a three-button busking console — build-up, drop, breakdown — while every lighting cue, video loop, and MIDI trigger stays locked in the background, ready to fire on the next press.

  • 01
    Map your stack.

    Import a finished Ableton set, TouchDesigner patch, or Resolume composition. Beat Syndrome indexes every cue and stage marker on one timeline.

  • 02
    Tag the busking buttons.

    Assign A, B, and C to the moments you actually improvise around — drops, breakdowns, breathers. Everything else keeps its scheduled cue.

  • 03
    Walk on stage.

    Press A, B, or C. Every light, every VJ loop, every MIDI note lands on the right beat — sample-accurate, across the full headline set.

Rig setup for a headline tour used to take 6.2 hours — pulling DMX dongles, patching Ableton, mirroring to Resolume. With Beat Syndrome, the same crew is at soundcheck in 41 minutes, and the cue stack is identical from show to show.
