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.

Frequently asked questions

Can I try Modulaser for free?

Yes. Download Modulaser and use it on your own setup with no sign-up and no expiry date. Patch, preview, and output to up to 2 lasers. Laser output stops after 15 minutes; restart Modulaser to keep going. Running shows takes a license, and that is what funds development. Standard and Pro remove that limit and add recording and export.

Which laser DACs and projectors are supported?

Modulaser supports Helios DAC, LaserCube, Ether Dream, IDN, Laserworld / ShowNET (macOS and Windows only), and AVB laser hardware. Connect an ILDA projector through a supported DAC, or use a projector with a built-in supported interface.

Does Modulaser run on macOS, Windows, and Linux?

Yes. Modulaser runs on macOS 11 or later on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, Windows 10 and 11 on 64-bit Intel/AMD PCs, and Linux x64 or ARM64. Linux downloads are available as AppImage, .deb, and .rpm packages.

Can I control multiple lasers?

Yes. Use output groups to route clips to different lasers. Standard supports up to 2 laser outputs; Pro supports unlimited laser outputs.
