Same instrument. New foundation.

Modulaser started as a creative instrument for laser visuals. Modulaser 2 keeps that direct, hands-on feel, but rebuilds the editor, file system, rendering path, and output workflow for rigs that need more than one projector.

Room to experiment

Start with quick shapes, effects, and modulation, then go deeper with the node editor when the idea asks for it. Laser show software should stay playful, curious, and easy to keep pushing.

Scan-aware rendering

The output engine builds laser-ready frames for each projector. Per-laser profiles, scan-aware point distribution, and blanking calibration help keep ILDA output cleaner and more stable.

A workflow that scales

Use Output Groups to route clips across one or many lasers. Add group effects for live control, or arrange cues and timeline clips when the laser show needs to be programmed.

Modular by design

A visual canvas where you connect sources, stack effects, and route clips to output groups. If you can picture the signal flow, you can patch it.

Rebuilt where it counts

Modulaser 2 is a complete rewrite: a new node engine, faster rendering, multi-laser routing, and cleaner output from patch to projector.
