Description
L.E.D. Lab is the quickest, easiest, most powerful way to drive your LED display! Custom programming is no longer required to get up-and-running. It is ideal for artists, professional display designers, architects, VJs, lighting designers, hobbyists, and anyone wanting to add a little animated color to their sculpture, art car, home, business or wardrobe.
L.E.D. Lab allows you to create a list of Scenes, which can be played back in order or shuffled. There are currently two kinds of Scenes:
● Pictures Scene - A montage of still images, videos, and live camera feeds is designed. The position, velocity, rotation, size, and coloring of each picture can be animated. You can use your own photos and videos, and the iPad camera. Rendering to odd-shaped displays is made possible with photographically-generated map files.
● Strips Scene - Particles of color are sent down each strip. The velocity, hue, saturation, and brightness of each particle can be animated.
Other features include:
● Music - Create lists of Tracks. Each track plays a song from your music library, along with any number of Scenes. You can elaborately choreograph a song, or let the Scenes play in random order.
● Audio Reactivity - Any animatable parameter may be controlled by the amplitude of audio in a specified frequency range.
● External Control - Any animatable parameter may be controlled by MIDI, DMX, ArtNet, or OSC.
● Color Keying - An image, video file, or live video feed can be made selectively transparent, making it easy to mix in with other images.
● Tiling - Any image, video file, or live video feed can be tiled in any or all directions, with adjustable spacing and fade-out.
● Display Modes - Editing can be performed with or without the LEDs connected. The editing UI can also be hidden, allowing operation in a "kiosk" mode.
So what kind of LED display can you make with L.E.D. Lab? Some Examples:
http://ledlabs.co
Any iOS device can be used to play Scene Lists. An iPad is best for full editing.
L.E.D. Lab works with the following LED controllers:
● PixelPusher (our favorite)
● Art-Net
● sACN
● DDP/Minleon/TekLights
● RGB-123
● FadeCandy/FCServer
● OpenPixel
It can also display to an external monitor or projector, serving as a VJ app.
Extensive help information is provided for the rich user-interface:
● Help Explorer - Displays help text for any knob, slider, button, popup, list, or view inside a magnifying glass you drag around the screen. (See this in the last screen shot.)
● Help Topics - Little chapters to read about some of the more detailed functionalities.
● Help Tutorials

• When new images and videos are added to LED Lab's documents folder, they now automatically appear in the UI.
• The default size of the bitmap used to render embedded Scenes is now half of what it was, leading to much faster rendering.
• The Embedding Options Screen is a lot clearer.
• The Embedding Options Screen for Strips Scenes allows the number of strips to be fixed. This is great for embedding Strips Scenes that need small numbers of strips for the desired effect.
• When a Scene has OSC Out data, tapping the "OSC" in its list cell now opens the OSC Out screen for the Scene.
• After "New Embedding Scene" and making a change, the Revert button would remove the original embedded Scene. This has been fixed.
• Revert and Redo no longer display their result with a transition. It appears immediately.
• When an image or video is missing from the documents folder, a warning message is now only displayed when the scene that refers it becomes current.
• Fixed a bug that sometimes caused the start time of a Video Picture to be ignored when the rewind button was tapped.
• Tweaked some colors in the UI to look better in Dark Mode.

• When the current track is tapped, it is no longer re-started.
• When the Track "Auto-Show Scenes" setting is turned on, the current Track's scenes are shown and all others hidden.
• When a Track's scenes are manually shown or hidden, "Auto-Show Scenes" is turned off.
• Flicking to scroll the Track Editing scene list sometimes would result in a scene being dragged. This has been fixed.
• Some audio hardware causes a large delay when starting up. This would sometimes cause the audio of a Track to lag behind its scenes. Now, the audio system is kept running so that these delays are not an issue.
• When the Track "Gap" was non-zero, the next Track's audio would be started twice. This would result in an audio glitch and cause the audio of a Track to lag behind its scenes. This has been fixed.

• Mapping has been thoroughly re-worked - faster, higher quality, more options
• You can now make a Compound Map, a map which is made from any number of Map Files, each positioned, sized, flipped, and rotated individually. This is very useful for
A) displaying the same image on both sides of a vehicle
B) stitching together a number of optically-created maps made for different sections of an LED display that's too large to map in a single Map File
C) combining maps made from all sides of a 3D display
• The Edit Map screen now allows you to add and delete new strips and LEDs freely. You can link a sequence of LEDs so that they always stay in a straight line as you move the ends around. Basically, you can now create a Map by hand!
• Cleaned up the Strips/Picture paradigm in the Mapping Setup Screen. There is now only Virtual Strips and the Map. You can now use Virtual Strips with Rectangular Panels maps.
• There are more options when specifying simple horizontal or vertical mapping.
• You've always been able to use a Strips Scene in a Picture in a Pictures Scene. Now you can embed Pictures Scenes as well, to any level of nesting. This is dramatically powerful, particularly when used with Tiling.
• When driving ArtNet or sACN controllers, you can now use UDP broadcasting to send all data to all controllers, in the style of traditional DMX setups.
• Fixed two bugs introduced in version 2.0

Duke Swirl,
So much Creative Power
I have used this app and pixel pusher hardware for years and it just keeps getting better. Every time I think to myself... “I wish I could do______ with my light installation” I find a new menu or an update that expands the already impressive capability of this app. So much thought and attention to detail keeps me inspired and pushing my creativity. Chris has also promptly responded to countless emails to help me in the darkest times to get me back on track. Steep yet intuitive learning curve but the more time you spend with the app the more you realize just how powerful it is.
Bibulb,
Not for the faint of heart
This is NOT a simple program - it will take no small amount of trial and error to get things set up the way you want them - but once you've got it set up, it's an AMAZINGLY rich and flexible resource. I've used it with a Fadecandy-based Neopixel matrix as well as with RasPi-based HU75 matrices (both emulating PixelPushers), and it's been great with both.
(And in addition to that, the author was very helpful via email in working out specific settings tweaks to get me up and running.)

Ron/e,
Great software and great ongoing support
I have been using the software with my PixelPusher since 2015. I left my unit hardware sit for a couple years and when I tried to get it working again with L.E.D. Lab I ran into problems. Christopher gave me great support in helping me get the hardware up and running. Now the software works like a charm. Love it when you deal with real pro's.
Brooksdog,
I use it for the pixel pusher.
App works great. I wish there was a way to program color better than just a wheel. I also wish the iPhone version had more controls. But over all solid app.
Team peacock,
Great software and great support
We purchased led labs for a large scale lighting project and have been very happy with this piece of software. It's fast, incredibly customizable and the developer is very responsive when we have run into any issues and assisted us with troubleshooting. The price to get all of the features is high, but I think it's well worth it given the quality of the app and the support you get.
Thanks. I look forward to using led labs again for future light projects.

A number of questions about music and Tracks
Hello. I just bought the Music add on and am unclear on a few things:
1) I can see how I can export Scenes as a way to back them up/transfer between devices. Is there a way to do the same with Track listings and the Scenes synced to them?
2) I can set up Tracks and Scenes, but when I play, I never get audio. How do you enable audio to play?
I’m using an iPad Pro 11” on iOS 12.3.1
Is there a better way to get product support? I couldn’t find one on the website.
Thanks!

Pixel junkies rejoice!
Just in time for Burning Man - this kit will be powering projects large and small all over the playa this year. The software is powerful but the learning curve is lessened with some great help features like the explorer. I'm already powering 90 strips with this and looking forward to Rus responding so I can map on deformed surfaces! Great work!
Psyght,
Not working with last update!!! Please fix
After your last update both my pixel pushers stopped working. The app just crashes and I have tried resetting everything. Not sure what changed but please fix so this works again!
Amazing app when it works.

Chris updated this bug along time ago and was incredibly responsive during the time the app without function. Led labs is a top notch app!

Too much
The software is good for what it does but the pricing structure is just a cash grab. Will cost you almost $200 (!!) for the full package. That is ridiculous and the author should be ashamed.
