Your timing source in.One coordinated show out.
CueSync turns your show’s timing into synchronized control across lighting, video, and the systems already in your rig. It automates the repeatable and leaves you in command of the rest.

CueSync's Devices screen, photographed against a connected Pioneer CDJ-3000 and cropped to the app's own cards: a Devices header reading one device online, a DJ LINK row at 2 of 3 with CROWD ARMED beside it, MOUNTED MEDIA showing USB_SLOT on player 3 with seven tracks and 7.0 GB free, and the Pioneer Decks card itself - CDJ-3000 on firmware v3.20, badged MASTER and PARTIAL, running 79.8 BPM at -33.5% on the pitch fader against an original 120.0, playing 'Still Standing (Original Mix) [Extended Clean]' with a compact waveform, a 94% energy meter and a DROP marker. Screen capture of the running app driven by a physically connected Pioneer CDJ-3000 (firmware 3.20, player 3, tempo master) over PRO DJ LINK on a link-local link, rekordbox USB mounted, 2026-08-30. Not a harness render.
Captured live from a connected Pioneer CDJ-3000 — not a mock-up or a render.

Find your setup
One engine, three workflows. The timing source and the surfaces change; what CueSync can reach does not.

Hybrid DJ/Theatre Shows
Festival sets that transition into scripted sequences. AutoPilot handles the DJ set, CueStack takes over for the choreographed finale.
Festival Production Teams
Coordinate lighting, visuals, and pyro across multiple stages with the coordination bus. One production network, one source of truth.
Systems Integrators
Build custom automation rigs for clients. Predictive preview and per-device send reporting let you validate every output before showtime.
Built for
Editions differ by timing source and workflow surfaces, not by what they can reach. Two input sources do follow the workflow: PRO DJ LINK ships in DJ and Production, and SMPTE timecode in Theatre and Production.
Thirty seconds, start to finish
Load a track, build the cues, bind them to a rig, run the show, take manual control when you need it. Five screens of the shipping macOS build, in the order the work happens — the app drawing itself, not a mockup.
01/Prepare
Load the track. The structure is already there.
The Score Canvas draws the waveform with its energy overlay, phrase-coloured section bands and hot-cue markers, and the cue list underneath already names the grandMA3 cue each one will fire. Nothing has been triggered yet — the analysis happens on import, not on the night.
- Phrase-coloured section bands over the energy overlay
- First Drop Blinder · Pre-Drop Strobe · Breakdown Wash · Final Drop
- Every cue fires on GO and names its grandMA3 target

What CueSync does for you
Three things the product is for. The feature names underneath each one are how it delivers them, not why they matter.
The show follows the performance
Your timing source drives the cues — music-led, cue-led, or both, depending on how you work. A cue fires because the show arrived somewhere, not because a fixed number of beats elapsed.
- AutoPilot
- CueStack
- Run Mode
One action reaches every system
One cue fires lighting, video, playback and real-time graphics together — coordinated, beat-aligned and deduplicated across all 15 output protocols, in every edition. No adapters, no middleware, no connectivity tiers.
- 15 output protocols
- Coordination Bus
The operator never loses control
Preview before you commit, override live, and see every failure the moment it happens. A console that drops mid-show reconnects on its own and says so on the health panel — it never just quietly stops firing.
- StableConnection
- Circuit breakers
- Diagnostics
Most tools support 1–2 protocols and a single workflow. CueSync natively connects to 15 output protocols across lighting, video, show control, and DJ hardware — in one app.
Inside the app
Six screens, and the job each one does.
Every frame below is the shipping macOS build. Four are rendered by the app itself from a demo show; two were captured on a real rig with a Pioneer CDJ-3000 connected. Nothing here was mocked up for the page.
Write the whole show once, on one timeline.
Every department gets its own lane and its own console. One timecode ruler over the master audio, six lanes routed to six different desks, and a cue list that tells you which cues are drafted, tested and ready before you ever call the first one.
- Six lanes → grandMA3, ETC Eos, Resolume, QLab, Pangolin
- Twelve cues on the Drafted / Tested / Ready ladder
- OFF · DRY · LIVE — outputs armed from the toolbar
How CueSync works
Five stages, beat-tight, never silent.
Every stage of the runtime pipeline, in the same order CueSync runs them at showtime.
- 1.0Connect
CueSync takes its clock from whatever already runs your show — a PRO DJ LINK rig, LTC or MTC timecode, Ableton Link, MIDI clock, or an audio input. No bridge box and no calibration pass.
- 2.0Cue
Author cues against beats, phrases, BPM ranges, hot-cue hits, timecode, OSC, energy, key — seventeen trigger types, dragged onto a cue stack in a desktop-native editor.
- 3.0Fire
The CueExecutor dispatches on the beat, held to a sub-5 ms budget on the cue-evaluation path — with the violation rate reported back to you, not hidden. End-to-end timing depends on your protocol chain.
- 4.0Coordinate
One cue reaches grandMA3, Resolume, QLab, disguise, TouchDesigner, Unreal and Pangolin together — coordinated, beat-aligned, deduplicated, with per-cue routing.
- 5.0Recover
Every connection runs inside StableConnection: auto-reconnect, exponential backoff, and a circuit-breaker on repeated failures. Cues are never held back and replayed late — a command that could not land is reported to you, and recovery resumes from the show’s current state.
- Nine tiles, seven different engines and consoles
- Each tile names its own target — Q12.5, L2·C7, U1 · 24 ch
- UE: Drop live for 45 seconds, and saying so
Never silently fails during a set
Every protocol send is checked. Every disconnect is auto-recovered. Every error reaches the operator — not the logs.
Phrase triggers fire within one frame of the downbeat.
Every protocol send is checked. Silent failures get surfaced to the operator.
StableConnection auto-recovers from venue Wi-Fi flaps mid-show.
