Very Lit

Music reactive lighting for mobile DJs

Build your rig once, adapt it to each venue in 3D and run the lights from your Mac laptop.

Example layout: 6 × 4 m. Simplified 3D preview.

THE EXAMPLE RIG

Six lights. One portable rig.

A 6 × 4 m dance floor: two compact movers beside the DJ and four washes on stands for floor or backdrop color.

44 channels in one universe. Keep the same addresses between gigs; update positions to suit the room.

Set up Very Lit

STEP 1

Save the travel rig

Add exact models and modes, set fixed addresses and group movers and washes separately. Keep the patch list in your cable case.

Adapt the room

Update the floor and fixture positions for the venue. Keep movement on the dance floor and away from dinner tables.

STEP 3

Connect DJ audio

Connect the XDJ-XZ by USB, install its Mac audio software if required and select it in Audio input. Check for unwanted cue or DVS audio.

STEP 4

Connect DMX

Plug in the ENTTEC USB Pro, enable output and map the universe. Match fixture modes and addresses, then test each light.
