Free native macOS app
A Mac app for controlling and managing lighting networks over Art-Net, sACN / E1.31 and RDM — with deep integration for the expanseElectronics node fleet. Think DMX-Workshop, built for the Mac.
// What it does
Finds every Art-Net node on the network (any brand) with IP, name, firmware, ports and universes. Add nodes by IP for ones that don't announce.
Live 512-channel view, per-source tally, refresh rate, conflict detection, per-channel min/max/flicker and a value-over-time graph.
512 faders, test patterns, and a chase/cue sequencer with fades.
Record live DMX to a file and replay it.
Route a universe between Art-Net and sACN and merge multiple sources (HTP/LTP).
Discover fixtures, read device info, set DMX address, identify, switch personalities, and read sensors & supported parameters.
Monitor and transmit, multicast, universe discovery and priority. Appears as an Art-Net node so other controllers can see it.
Multi-select nodes to identify, reboot or patch consecutive universes, with a universe map that flags clashes.
Network/port config, scenes, display mirror, telemetry and locate/reboot for expanseElectronics nodes. Plus a packet inspector, traffic stats and network diagnostics.
// Support development
expanseWorkshop is completely free and fully functional. If it earns its place in your kit, a donation funds the next features — and as a thank-you we'll email you a licence key (it shows “Licensed to your name” in the app and quietens the support nudge). Your keys live in your account, too.
