Lighting console software
Faderia does patch, cue lists, effects, a live stage view and pixel mapping. It runs on Windows, on Linux as a beta, and a macOS version is in progress. It outputs over USB-DMX, Art-Net and sACN and does not need internet at the venue.

The main screens of the console, as they look on a real show file.
Cue lists
A cue stores only the channels that changed. When you edit one look, the cues after it stay as they were.
Patch
Pick fixtures from the Open Fixture Library or GDTF and say how many you have. Faderia lays out the addresses, and the universe map shows which channel belongs to which fixture.
Pixel Mapper · Pro
Build a matrix from pixel fixtures and run per-pixel effects, images, GIFs and video on it. You do not need a separate media server for this.
Timeline · Pro
Place cues on a time track to fire them with the music, or follow external timecode: MTC, Art-Net Timecode, or LTC from a sound card.
Faderia does not need a dongle or a particular brand. Here are some of the interfaces it supports.
The features you would use on a typical evening, in the order you would reach them.
Find fixtures on the line, change their address and personality from the console, identify them and read their sensors.
USB-DMX (Enttec Pro and compatibles), Art-Net and sACN can run together, with settings per universe.
Rainbow, wave, chase, strobe, fire, meteor and more. Effects can spread their phase across fixtures and follow the tempo.
Useful when a volunteer runs the service or the school play. Only the run screen stays visible, and leaving this mode needs your code.
A web remote on the same network gives you GO, blackout, cues and master on a phone. You connect by scanning a QR code.
A second computer mirrors the output and the cue position. If the main computer fails, the backup takes over the output.
The subscription pays for new versions. If you stop paying, the console still starts.
The version current at the start of a paid year becomes yours permanently. On a yearly plan that happens at purchase. On a monthly plan it happens at the renewal that crosses the anniversary.
If version 1.4 is yours, so is 1.4.9. We maintain a version while it is current and for 12 months after the next one ships.
The licence is checked on your computer, so the console does not need to reach our server during a show. If our company closes, the version you own keeps working.
Three plans. They differ in how many universes you can output and which tools are included. Prices are shown in your currency.

Without a licence Faderia runs in free mode with 48 channels. It has the Starter features, enough to patch and program a small rig.
Card payment via Paddle. If you cancel, the plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for.
Windows 10 and 11, and Linux as a beta: a .deb package for Ubuntu and Debian, and an AppImage for other distributions. A macOS version is in progress. To light real fixtures you need a USB-DMX interface or an Art-Net/sACN network node.
Count your universes. Up to two universes with patch, cues, effects and the stage view: Starter. LED walls, timecode shows or control from a MIDI or OSC desk: Pro. Several operators, a backup console or sound-to-light: Advanced.
If you pay yearly, the version current at purchase is yours from the first day. If you pay monthly, it becomes yours after 12 payments in a row, and a gap of more than a week starts the count again. If you cancel before that, Faderia goes back to free mode with 48 channels when the paid period ends.
Your plan stays active until the end of the period you paid for. After that you keep any version you earned with a year of subscription. New versions come back if you subscribe again.
Yes. Buy a yearly plan and cancel it right away. The year is paid upfront, so the current version becomes yours permanently. You will not get the versions after it.
Yes. Write to [email protected] from your organisation address with a link to your website or parish page, and we will send you a discount code.
No. You need a connection once, to activate the licence. After that the console works offline.
