Auto-Flow · Live Show Control
The free, local-first show conductor for bands, DJs & live streamers. Ableton is your clock, your phone is your remote, and master blackout is sacred.
What it is
Firebird runs your visuals, projection mapping, lasers and stream from one place — and it keeps running if the internet drops. It doesn't replace Resolume or Pangolin; it conducts your show and safely ties your tools together, synced to Ableton, with a phone remote for when your hands are full.
Features
Everything below is on one screen, always a click away — with the controls that matter most kept front and centre.
Ableton Live is the show clock over OSC and Ableton Link. No competing timeline.
A latching blackout that overrides scenes, timelines, effects and remote commands — instantly.
32 Blaize presets over TCP, plus a Kinect depth-FX layer with motion tracers and hypercolor.
Photo-from-the-projector workflow: draw surfaces, corner-pin your visuals onto real walls and set pieces.
ILDA / ShowNET / DMX output behind a hardware-interlock model. Blackout always kills the beam.
A browser-source background/overlay for OBS, plus start/stop/scene control from the console or a cue.
The room's audio drives your visuals — and an armed laser — live, with tunable sensitivity.
Open a token-protected link on any phone on the Wi-Fi. Big scenes, transport, and a blackout you can always hit.
MIDI-learn any pad or knob (Push 2 ready), plus a webcam AR filter for a bit of fun on the screen.
Firebird is built safety-first: master blackout latches and overrides everything, and laser output stays disabled until a hardware interlock and key are in place — software is never the only thing between "off" and "firing." Lasers are powerful; a Class 3B/4 laser needs a physical interlock, eye protection, and (for audience scanning in the US) an FDA/CDRH variance and a laser-safety officer. Use responsibly.
