The Composer app for the Luxli Light Orchestra system is not just a re-brand of the original Conductor app, it is a total overhaul. To put it politely the original Conductor app was seriously lacking. Yes you could control various aspects of the different lighting units (Viola, Cello, Timpani), but using any of the more powerful gel and FX features were resigned to controlling them directly from the lights themselves. The Conductor app seemed like an unnecessary add on, an after thought for a lighting system that has been ahead of the curve every step of the way.
The Composer app changes all of that. Re-engineered from the ground up, using input from real filmmakers, the Composer truly unleashes the creative potential of the Orchestra system. Some of the advancements are as simple as the new UI which makes searching for what tasks you need to do intuitive instead of daunting. It’s a clean and elegant design. Also now all of the units can connect to the app at once, allowing you to control them independently or as a cohesive team, with the ability to program custom actions for each light that work in concert with one another. It’s like having a DMX control board right on your mobile device.
Every advanced FX and Gel feature for your particular light can be controlled directly from the app, which cuts down on the time it would take to find, access, and tweak these options on the light itself. Anything you can program physically on the light, can be done faster and simpler using Composer.
My only serious issue with the Composer app is that the iPhone version of the app is the same as the iPad version, just smaller. That means if you have bigger fingers like me, you may hit the wrong button on occasion. This is far from a deal breaker for me, and more of a personal issue. I do suggest using an iPad to control it if possible though, that way you can get even finer adjustments using the apple pencil.
All and all the Composer app has turned what was at first a throwaway app, to a necessity if you are going to maximize this amazing lighting systems potential.
