In this conversation with Sonicstate, Jean-Paul Grobben demonstrates Beam for Live, a lighting controller that turns Ableton Live’s MIDI clips and automation into DMX control for fixtures like PARs and moving heads. He shows how to patch lights, trigger them like an instrument, and pair Beam with Videosync for a fully synced audio, video, and lighting show, all from one Live session.
