Your lasers deserve center stage.
Create and perform laser visuals on any ILDA projector. Modulaser 2 is a ground-up rewrite with a new engine, quick effects, multi-DAC output, and a workflow built for professional laser shows.

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.

Multi-DAC Output
Output to multiple laser DACs simultaneously from a single patch. Route different visuals to different projectors through output groups, all in sync.
Node Graph Editor
A completely new visual patching architecture. Connect sources, effects, and outputs on a modular canvas. If you can imagine it, you can patch it.
Timeline & Cues
Frame-accurate timeline with SMPTE timecode sync, keyframe automation, and fades. Or step through cues live with beat-synced durations. Program a full show, or trigger it on the fly.
NDI Input
Pipe any NDI or Syphon video source into your laser patch. Real-time vectorization turns video into crisp laser output from any app that supports NDI or Syphon.
Performance
Rewritten from the ground up. Half the CPU usage, quarter the install size, and scan-aware point distribution that keeps corners clean without sacrificing speed.
3D Beam View
Preview your laser rig in a simulated 3D room. Position lasers, dial in scan angles and divergence, and verify your mapping before you are at the venue.
New Input Sources
Import SVG sequences, 3D .obj files, and raster images with automatic vectorization. Plus a new Shape mode for projecting basic shapes (circles, triangles, waves) and modulating them live.
Linux Support
Run Modulaser natively on Linux. Ideal for permanent installations and headless rack machines. Runs cleanly on a Raspberry Pi, too.
From sketch to show
Audio, MIDI, text, recording, projection mapping, and safety controls. Laser show software for the full workflow.
Audio Reactive
Feed music in, get synchronized laser visuals out. Audio-driven modulation and waveform projection, built right in.
MIDI, OSC & Ableton Link
MIDI Learn maps any knob, pad, or fader to almost any parameter, with feedback to motorized faders and pad LEDs. OSC works the same way over the network, with TouchOSC and Open Stage Control templates. Sync tempo over MIDI clock or Ableton Link.
Clip Library
Save and organize clips into reusable packs. Audition with live hover preview, then click to apply to your deck.
Stackable Effects
Stack Strobe, Colorize, Chase, Scale Pulse, Flash, and Rotation on any output group. Build custom effects in the node graph when the built-ins aren't enough.
Projection Mapping & Safety
Four-corner mapping fits each laser to its surface. Blind zones with adjustable power reduction keep beams off audiences, cameras, and gear.
Recording & Export
Record video (H.264, AV1, ProRes), ILDA, AIFF, or image sequences at any resolution. Perfect Loop trims your clip to a clean cycle automatically.
Works with your hardware
Modulaser supports the most popular ILDA laser DACs out of the box.
The DAC drivers behind Modulaser are open source. View laser-dac-rs on GitHub →
