Born on a festival stage

Beat Syndrome was founded by a producer and a lighting designer who had both lived the same pre-show nightmare: two laptops, a MIDI loopback patch, a DMX dongle held together by hope, and a video cue that fired on the wrong downbeat in front of eight thousand people. Live electronic performance had the most sophisticated music in the world running on the least sophisticated synchronization. We built the platform that ends the spaghetti.

What the platform does

Beat Syndrome locks every element of a live show to one clock:

• Sample-accurate sync: audio, MIDI, lighting, and video run from a single tempo source, so the strobe hits the drop because it is timed to the sample — not because someone guessed.
• Native bridges to the tools crews already use: Ableton Live, TouchDesigner, Resolume, and industry lighting consoles — no loopback hacks, no proprietary lock-in.
• One-timeline show file: the whole performance — cues, scenes, lighting states, video layers — ships as a single project that rehearses exactly as it performs.
• Redundancy built in: failover paths for the moment a laptop does what laptops do, because the show must survive the machine.

Who runs it

Touring DJs and live acts, visual designers, lighting operators, and the production companies wiring festival stages. Producers finish the show file in the studio and walk on stage knowing every cue will fire — which is the entire point.

Your music deserves a show that moves with it, sample by sample. Beat Syndrome is the sync layer that finally behaves — so the only surprise on stage is how good it looks.
