Music Import
See the waveform, place events precisely
Import your audio file (WAV, or MP3 which gets converted to WAV automatically) and LSS4 displays the waveform directly in the timeline background. This visual reference changes everything about how you create shows — instead of working by time code numbers, you can literally see where the beat hits, where the breakdown is, where the chorus builds.
Place scene events where the waveform peaks. Set transparent fade-ins on the quiet intro. Time your big color change to the drop. When the visual timeline matches the audio, the creative process feels natural instead of mechanical.
- Import .wav files directly; .mp3 files auto-converted
- Waveform displayed in timeline background for visual reference
- Scroll and zoom the timeline for fine-grained event placement
- Bookmarks for quick navigation to key moments
- Timeline playback with real-time LED preview
Precise Timing
Set every event to the exact millisecond
Each event in the timeline has a precise start time and duration. You can drag events to position them visually or enter exact time values — down to the millisecond. This level of precision matters for music-synced shows where a 50ms offset between the beat and the light change is perceptible to the audience.
Snapping keeps events aligned to other events or to musical grid lines. The zoom controls let you work at any scale — zoomed out to see the full show structure, or zoomed in to the frame level for tight timing adjustments.
- Millisecond-precise event start time and duration
- Drag events visually in the timeline
- Snapping to other events and grid lines
- Zoom in/out for any level of timeline detail
- Multiple tracks for complex multi-scene shows
Sync Options
Three synchronization modes
LSS4 doesn't just play shows internally — it can synchronize to external sources. The three sync modes cover everything from simple standalone playback to tight integration with external show control systems.
- Clock — internal computer clock for standalone operation
- Music — plays with imported WAV audio, waveform visible in timeline
- MIDI MTC — external timecode from video players, laser systems, or other stage gear. Set start time, choose action on lost signal (pause or stop)
MIDI MTC is the standard protocol for multi-device show synchronization in professional AV installations — allowing your LED installation to stay perfectly locked to video, audio, or automation systems.
