DMX512 PC Control
Universal program allowing for PC control directly through the DMX512 protocol. A simulation of keyboard is being used, whereby a keyboard sequence and program can be assigned to any channel for which it is designed.

Designed for Creativity.
Take Your Light Show to a New Level.
Designed for the needs of creative lighting designers, Lightkey breaks free from the old thinking about DMX values and channels. Thru advanced fixture profiles it understands all your fixtures’ properties—like Color, Gobo, Shutter, Prism, Zoom—, and provides specially-designed, easy-to-use controls for each of them. The current state of your fixtures is always visible in the live preview. Simply concentrate on the perfect light show and let Lightkey translate it to the proper DMX values.
Virtual Light Beams
Virtual light beams show your lights’ real-world positions and also reflect intensity, color, focus, zoom, iris, frost, and shutter/strobe states.
Built-In Stage Editor
The built-in graphical editor lets you recreate the stage or dance floor on the screen. Apart from your fixtures you can add shapes, trusses, and custom images.
Copy & Paste
Easily copy and paste properties and effects between fixtures – even fixtures of different types. Of course, you can undo as well.
At a Glance
Little “bubbles” in the Preview show you at a glance which fixture properties are overridden or defined by a preset, sequence, or cue.
On-the-Fly Changes
Quickly change any fixture property on the fly—perfect for nightclubs and parties where you don’t have a song run sheet in advance.
Intelligent Design View
The Design view automatically adapts itself according to your fixtures and their properties so you only see the controls you really need.
Real-World Pan/Tilt Locations
Lightkey knows your moving light’s pan/tilt range, home position, and rotation direction. With this information it calculates the exact beam position on the stage or dance floor, so the preview always shows the fixture’s real-world position, letting you point your lights wherever you like with just a single mouse click. Even if you select multiple devices from different manufacturers, Lightkey will calculate the individual DMX values for each of them so they all point in the same direction.Effects.
Infinite Possibilities.

Built-In Fixture Editor
To make fixture profile creation as easy as possible, Lightkey’s fixture editor has the same layout as a typical DMX chart. (Click the image for a side-by-side comparison.) And it’s built right into the application so changes take effect instantly.
High Technology.
Made for Your Mac.
Lightkey was engineered from the ground up as a native Mac app, so it’s finally goodbye to the Windows emulation. It perfectly matches your Mac’s look and feel and comes with all the familiar features like Dark Mode, full screen view, autosaving, copy and paste, unlimited undo, or automatic updates. Under the hood, Lightkey takes full advantage of your Mac’s capabilities including 64-bit processing on M1 and Intel chips, multicore computing thru Grand Central Dispatch, support for Retina displays, and pristine graphics using Apple’s Core Animation and Metal 2 technologies.
