Elevator Pitch

LumaDeck Web
Product Description
LumaDeck Web is a browser-based live visual instrument for DJs, musicians, VJs, small venues and creators. It combines 48 free audio-reactive scenes, an expandable 239-scene catalog, local video and custom GLSL in a performer-facing Master while a separate visual-only surface carries the clean audience output.
Users can begin with Auto Conductor, perform scenes and effects manually, or build their own visual language. Web Pro adds WebMIDI Learn for 67 targets — 48 scene pads and 19 live controls — plus larger local media and shader banks, live post-effects, show configuration sync and local NDI output through a bridge.
The core instrument is immediately usable in a supported browser without installing an application.
How It’s Innovative
Most live visual tools begin with installation, routing complexity or a specialist node-based workflow. LumaDeck Web makes the browser itself a playable visual instrument.Sound-reactive. It includes an auto mode, but user triggering takes precedence.
Its innovation is not a single effect but a complete performance contract: one surface for the performer, one clean surface for the audience, and MIDI Learn that converts scenes and master parameters into physical muscle memory.
Built-in scenes, local videos and custom GLSL share consistent timing and audio-reactive inputs. The workflow can move continuously from automatic operation to direct performance and visual creation without changing tools.
This makes serious audiovisual control available to musicians, independent performers and venues that may not own a media server or employ a dedicated VJ.
Most Inspiring Use Cases
An independent DJ arrives with a laptop, a small MIDI controller and a projector. Within minutes, the controller’s pads launch visual scenes, faders shape the master, and the audience sees a clean synchronized composition instead of a software interface.
The artist can concentrate on the music while Auto Conductor carries unattended sections, then take direct visual control at the drop.
The most inspiring use is turning visuals from background decoration into a second instrument that a musician can actually perform.
Expansion Plans
Expansion plans include native tablet and mobile availability, additional MIDI targets, controller templates, bidirectional feedback, improved show portability and broader creator tools and visual collections.
A future research track will evaluate MIDI-CI, Profiles, Property Exchange and MIDI 2.0 only after fully interoperable implementations are ready.
The long-term goal is a browser-first ecosystem in which a musician can begin immediately and carry their mappings, show logic and artistic identity into larger professional workflows.
Commercialization
LumaDeck Web is available now at lumadeck.app.
The free tier has no time limit and includes the live engine, 48 scenes, 24 performance pads, one local video, one custom shader and audience output.
Web Pro costs €9.99 per month or €79.99 per year and adds the full 48-pad surface, MIDI mapping, larger local video and shader banks, live effects, show configuration sync and watermark-free output. Optional scene collections extend the catalog.
This freemium model lets anyone experience the real instrument before paying and supports continued development through subscriptions and optional creative content.
