xLights is program for sequencing LED pixels and other lights to music. It provides a complete program for modeling the target display (normally the users house or yard) in either 2D using a picture as a background or in full 3D with a stand OBJ model.
The user can add models such as trees, arches, candy canes, etc... to their display. Each model has a set of user settable properties for configuring the types of LED pixels, the number of pixels, etc...
When the display setup is complete, the user can create a sequence by loading a music file and then mapping various effects onto each model based on the timing and other cues in the music.
Finally, the user can test their creations by outputting the data directly to the controllers that are controlling the lights. xLights supports a wide range of controllers from standard e1.31 based controllers, ArtNet, DDP, DMX, PixelNet, etc...
mehr Before I discovered xLights, I spent years looking and dreaming for a solution to create great light effects. This magic software offers more functionality than I could have ever imagined. It blows my mind that this software doesn't even demand a penny from you and works with a variety of controllers starting at like $5!

* Add node animation playback to SubModels dialog.
* Media-compatibility "Convert Now" now special-cases animated GIFs that were used as Video effects and turns them into normal Pictures effects that properly handle animated GIFs
* Timing tracks: new "Audio Chords" option in the "Add Timing Track" dialog. Builds a chromagram, matches against 24 major/minor templates, estimates key via Krumhansl–Schmuckler, and drops a variable timing track whose back-to-back marks are labelled with the detected chord names.
* Timing tracks: new "Audio Tempo" option in the "Add Timing Track" dialog runs autocorrelation on the audio's onset envelope, confirms the detected BPM, and drops a fixed timing track with back-to-back marks at each beat.
* Waveform (macOS 12+): four new "Stem — Drums / Bass / Other / Vocals (ML)" right-click filters run Apple CoreML inference against HTDemucs to split the audio into its constituent parts.
* Waveform: "Classify Audio…" right-click entry runs Apple's SNClassifySoundRequest offline and lets you pick a detected class (drums, vocals, guitar, …); the waveform then scales to show amplitude only where that class is present.
* Waveform: Several new options to display the waveform as spectrograph, filtering, loudness, etc....
* Shape effect: Effect panel now organises its 27 properties into Shape / Size / Motion / Triggers tabs instead of a flat scroll, matching the grouped layout other large effects use.

* Package Sequence: rewritten to walk SequenceMedia + every model/view-object's file references + Matrix face images so shaders, custom images, videos, meshes, and face/state assets are actually included.
* Packaging preferences: "Exclude Presets" renamed to "Exclude Videos" — the old option stripped a rgbeffects element that no longer carries presets, so it was a no-op;
2026.07 vor 4 Tagen
* Media-compatibility warning on sequence load now offers "Convert Videos Now" — transcodes flagged files to .mov next to the originals (rawvideo/rgb24 if the source is uncompressed, hevc_videotoolbox otherwise) and rewrites the matching video-effect filenames in the sequence.

* Add "Don't show again for this version" checkbox to the AVFoundation media compatibility warning shown on sequence load
* Format GitHub release notes as markdown (sectioned headings, bullet list per author) instead of dumping the raw README text
* Wave effect "Number of Waves" slider is now a proper float cycles slider (0.5 .. 10.0) instead of a confusing integer degrees slider (180 .. 3600). Existing sequences are migrated automatically on first load.
* Fix HinksPix Pro V1/V2 sometimes reporting start channel 1 after auto-size, causing model overlaps. SetChannelSize now preserves the controller's base start channel across its internal output rebuild.

* Help → Key Bindings now opens a resizable, scrollable dialog instead of a wxMessageBox so the bottom of the list is reachable on short displays

* Fix Guitar BaseWaveFactor/StringWaveFactor losing user values after JSON panel migration. Old E_SLIDER_*WaveFactor int values are migrated forward to E_TEXTCTRL_*WaveFactor floats.
* Fix Circles effect Collide checkbox removal causing silent behavior change in old sequences. Sequences with Collide=1 are now migrated to Bounce=1 to preserve their non-wrapping render.
* Fix Shockwave effect rendering as invisible on macOS for new effects (Metal backend was using stale defaults of 0 for Start/End Radius/Width).
* Fix Pinwheel Rotation default mismatch between renderer and panel
* Pinwheel effect defaults to the New Render Method; existing sequences are migrated to preserve the Old Render Method so their look is unchanged.

* Fix five Metal layer blending bugs: off-by-one bounds check in all kernels, applyChroma not propagating alpha premultiplication back to caller, FirstLayerFade losing original alpha after HSV fade, AdjustBrightnessLevel incorrectly dividing single-channel pixels, and AsBrightnessFunction using wrong order of operations (early integer truncation)

* Major internal refactor: models are now stored as native objects instead of raw XML nodes. New serialization visitor pattern replaces direct XML manipulation for rgbeffects.xml. This improves maintainability and enables future features like proper undo/redo for model changes.
* Switch XML parsing from wxXml to pugixml for better performance and reduced wxWidgets dependency
* Switch logging framework from log4cpp to spdlog
* Update to new wxWidgets tag, fixes emoji rendering on Windows

* Restore default metronome timing track options
* Fix Import from zip not bringing in images
* Fix right-click on empty row headings area not showing a popup to open Display Elements

2024.18 14.11.2024
* Add node animation playback to SubModels dialog.
* Media-compatibility "Convert Now" now special-cases animated GIFs that were used as Video effects and turns them into normal Pictures effects that properly handle animated GIFs
* Timing tracks: new "Audio Chords" option in the "Add Timing Track" dialog. Builds a chromagram, matches against 24 major/minor templates, estimates key via Krumhansl–Schmuckler, and drops a variable timing track whose back-to-back marks are labelled with the detected chord names.
* Timing tracks: new "Audio Tempo" option in the "Add Timing Track" dialog runs autocorrelation on the audio's onset envelope, confirms the detected BPM, and drops a fixed timing track with back-to-back marks at each beat.
* Waveform (macOS 12+): four new "Stem — Drums / Bass / Other / Vocals (ML)" right-click filters run Apple CoreML inference against HTDemucs to split the audio into its constituent parts.
* Waveform: "Classify Audio…" right-click entry runs Apple's SNClassifySoundRequest offline and lets you pick a detected class (drums, vocals, guitar, …); the waveform then scales to show amplitude only where that class is present.
* Waveform: Several new options to display the waveform as spectrograph, filtering, loudness, etc....
* Shape effect: Effect panel now organises its 27 properties into Shape / Size / Motion / Triggers tabs instead of a flat scroll, matching the grouped layout other large effects use.

* Fix visualizer clearing all models
* Twinkly was blocking the render when devices were offline

* Fix Use State as Outline for Face Effect default
* New polyline with default drop pattern did not render

* Package Sequence: rewritten to walk SequenceMedia + every model/view-object's file references + Matrix face images so shaders, custom images, videos, meshes, and face/state assets are actually included.
* Packaging preferences: "Exclude Presets" renamed to "Exclude Videos" — the old option stripped a rgbeffects element that no longer carries presets, so it was a no-op;
