Snowblind

Overview

Snowblind is a laser show software written in Kotlin, using JavaFX and LWJGL. It's designed to integrate with digital audio workstations (DAWs), providing tools for creating laser shows.

Features

DAW Integration

  • Acts as a clip launcher, timeline, and MIDI input using a DAW.
  • Connects to the DAW using a CLAP or VST3 plugin: check out snowblind_ingress.
  • Supports up to 32 macro inputs from the DAW to the node-based editor.
  • Utilizes existing DAW tools such as automation, piano roll, MIDI clips, loops, and live creation tools for synchronizing live production with lasers.

Visual Capabilities

  • Offers both 2D and 3D visualization.

Node-Based Editor

  • Node-based editor for creating and editing clips and effects.

Multi-Zone Output

  • Allows output to multiple lasers across multiple zones.

Customization and Extensibility

  • Aimed at static live show creators but can be extended based on the DAW used.

Cross-Platform Compatibility

  • Runs on any platform that supports JVM.
  • Works with multiple DAWs through CLAP and VST3.

Trivia

Name Origin

The software is named after the track "Snowblind" by Au5.

Inspiration

Developed out of a need for better macro and timeline features not found in other software like Pangolin Quickshow, LaserShowGen, and Liberation. The node-based editing concept is inspired by Liberation, which was a standout feature.
