Modul8
Real-time video mixing software for VJs and live visuals, layer-based with strong live manipulation, often paired with MadMapper for projection mapping output.
Protocols it speaks
| Protocol | Direction | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| midi | bidirectional | MIDI control from surfaces. |
| osc | bidirectional | OSC control. |
| art-net | in | DMX/Art-Net control on supported versions. |
| ndi | bidirectional | NDI in and out. |
| ltc | in | Timecode sync via third-party bridges. |
What to watch for
Built for live improvisation rather than repeatable cue playback. A show that must run identically every night is better served by a cue-based player.
The Modul8 to MadMapper pairing is a Syphon handoff on macOS, which means both applications and the OS version have to agree.
Typical use
- Live VJ performance
- Club and festival visuals
- Feeding MadMapper for mapped output
