Four taps, then look away.

Luxaudica opens here. You are not asked to pick a scene, build a look, or learn a control surface — you answer 2 questions about the room you are actually standing in, press Start, and the app runs the night. The full control room is still there, one shortcut away, on the day you want it.

The 2 questions

1. Where are you? 7 rooms. Some of the names carry slashes of their own, so they are set apart here:
   • Dance Music
   • Live Music
   • Corporate
   • Fitness/Meditation/Worship
   • Broadcast/Social Media/Creator
   • Children
   • Home
   Each tile shows what is filed behind it before you touch it.
2. How should it feel? Calm, Flowing or Peak. The tile you just picked shows what is behind it — “N scenes · M looks” — and each band tells you its own count on hover, so you can see the library behind your choice before you commit.

Under the questions sits Change every — how often a new look comes round, from every half-minute to every two minutes, or Manual so nothing changes until you press Next. It has a sensible default, so it is not a question you have to answer.

Then Start. That is the last tap you have to make.

Your rotation

Before you start, Operator shows exactly what it intends to play — “your rotation, N of M looks cycling” — and every look in it can be switched off. Nothing is hidden behind a shuffle. If you don't like one, turn it off and it will not appear tonight.

What Start actually does

The setup card disappears and everything collapses to a single bar at the foot of the screen: brightness, next, panic, record and stop — alongside the room you picked, Finish in (15 minutes, 45 minutes, 2 hours, or keep running — set it when you know the close, and the session lands itself), the time remaining, your licence tier, and the audio source it is listening to. Eight controls across the whole surface — four to set a session up, five to run one, and Start/Stop is both. It is designed to be operated by someone whose attention is on the room, not the laptop.

• Looks change on the phrase, not on a stopwatch — roughly every 128 beats when there is a beat to trust.
• With no trusted beat it falls back to wall-clock pacing, and a look never leaves the screen before it has had 20 seconds to be seen.
• It lands the session. In the last 90 seconds the picks come from the room's calmer pool, so the night winds down instead of being cut off mid-peak.
• In the final 20 seconds brightness fades to black, and every setting Operator borrowed is handed back exactly as it found it.
• Until I stop has no landing and no fade — it runs until you press stop, which is the right behaviour for an installation.
• Esc lands a running session at any time.

The Feel knobs

Four trims, available before you start and live while running, for when the room is nearly right but not quite:

Drive, Color and Air scale each look's own authored values rather than overwriting them — so a look that was designed to be restrained stays the restrained one even at the top of the range. You are nudging the whole rotation, not flattening it.

When you want the control room

⌥⌘A — or View ▸ Creator Mode — opens the full panel: Mix, Looks, Mod, Show, Brand, Connect, Output and Settings. Everything Operator was doing is still running underneath, and you can go back. The control room page covers it properly.

Library behind it: 103 scenes and 193 factory looks.
