About


 

A plug-and-play LED Kit designed for stage design, visual art, and live performance. User-friendly and adaptable for structure assembling using aluminum profile. Simple and ergonomic.

 

LED by garageCube can be plugged together in any order and are auto addressable. A single cable carries both power and data, reducing connections to a minimum. Our LEDs are a perfect complement to madMapper, but are also compatible with third party applications and lighting desk consoles.

 

With madMapper, the most advanced video and LED mapping tool, you can easily set up from simple to large scale installations. You can use all kinds of content, such as video files, live feed, and generative images, to control your LED by garageCube.

 

Use your favorite MIDI controller for perfect live control. You can use all kinds of content including video files, live camera feeds, and generative images to control your LED by garageCube.

 

LED by garageCube will be available in RGB or pure white, and in two different sizes: 50 cm and 1 meter. Light diffusers and transparent covers are included in the Kit.

 

The 50 cm bar fits in your hand luggage. No need to check them in when flying. Sixteen 50 cm bars are lighter than 4 kg!

 

Thanks to their aluminum design, LED by garageCube is lightweight and solid. Attach them to your brackets with simple M4 fixing screws.

 

The bracket system was designed for the LEDs to allow assembly in multiple positions and orientations. Two mounting brackets per LED strut are included in each kit.

 

 

Our system is also compatible with standard fastening elements available on the market either directly on the profile adapted for hex head screws or on our bracket mounting system.

 

The system has also been developed to realize complex structures combining 3D printing or other tailored fabrication techniques, making any of your DIY creations possible.

 

For manufacturing, we benefit from the experience of our Chinese partner, with whom we have been working for many years on the production of custom-made LEDs. Electronic parts are tested through several quality controls to ensure optimal quality.

DMX Interfaces (ChamSys)

MagicDMX is a low cost, single universe USB DMX interface created by ChamSys which contains an on board processor to process the DMX packets. MagicDMX connects to MagicQ running under Windows, Mac or Linux.

It doesn’t use any special drivers for the device, so you can just plug and play.  MagicDMX defaults to outputing on Universe 1 from the MagicQ software but can be used on any universe.

MagicDMX has electrical protection for normal usage.  Users requiring full isolation should consider the MagicQ Twin DMX Interface, the SnakeSys B4 or any of the MagicQ Wing products.

The MagicDMX interfaces do not unlock the restricted features of MagicQ software such as remote control via iOS/Android, audio input and full screen execute window or the « demo mode banner ». Users requring these features will need a ChamSys interface such as Twin DMX Interface, Mini Wing, PC Wing Compact or SnakeSys interface.

 

MagicDMX

Basic

The MagicDMX Basic interface is aimed at users wishing to evaluate and learn MagicQ, technicians wishing to test fixtures, as well as students wishing to learn lighting in schools and colleges. MagicDMX Basic supports output of a full DMX universe via a 3 pin female XLR connector.

MagicDMX Basic is time limited to 5 hours continuous usage. After this time it is necessary to replug the device and to restart the MagicQ software.

Boris has been active in the audio visual field for over 10 years. With his Swiss company garageCube, he created the software modul8 dedicated to live video mixing. Then, in collaboration with 1024 architecture, they created madMapper a software solution dedicated to video and LEDs mapping. After designing some installations and making custom-made LEDs specific to his projects, he met Alexandre and the need arose to create a more versatile product, more adapted and accessible to the community of artists and audiovisual designers in which they evolve. After more than a year of research and testing on small and large scale installations, they decided to launch a Kickstarter campaign to make the product achievable and accessible to all.

APC 40 MK2

The APC40 Legacy
In 2009, Akai Professional collaborated with the creators of Ableton Live, a powerful music performance and production software environment, and introduced the original Ableton Performance Controller—APC40. The instrument raised the standards of controller design, revolutionized hardware and software integration, and proved to be an essential performance tool for Ableton Live users everywhere. Building upon this original partnership, Akai Professional now introduces an all-new, reimagined Ableton Live controller—APC40 mkII.
You Asked, We Listened
The new APC40 mkII incorporates five years of user feedback into its design. Almost every aspect of the original APC40 has been deliberated, reworked, and improved to provide extended controller functionality, countless musical capabilities, and a smarter workflow. In addition to its sleek look, veteran APC40 users will immediately notice the enhancements that include an RGB clip-launching grid, reinforced fader design, revised knob lay out, and much more.
Get On The Grid
APC40 mkII features a 5×8 RGB clip-launching grid that’s built for dexterous exploration: launch clips and create or perform your song from the ground up using 40 responsive triggers. RGB lighting provides visual feedback and displays three clip statuses—loaded, playing, and recording—so you can intelligently perform without looking at your computer. You can also color code your clips with the RGB lighting for advanced visual organization, and use the Shift button and directional arrows to manipulate the scope of the 5×8 grid.
Total Control
APC40 mkII comes equipped with an array of assignable faders and knobs: nine reinforced faders and eight channel control knobs are arranged in-line with each channel for an intuitive layout and smarter workflow. Eight Device Control knobs make it easy to tweak device parameters and light up to provide visual feedback of each parameter. In addition, the Sends button enable users to cycle through all eight send buses right from their APC40 mkII. The A/B crossfader has also been reworked and can be assigned and re-assigned without ever having to touch the mouse.
Seamless Integration
APC40 mkII comes pre-mapped to Live for an instant performance and production setup. When APC40 mkII is plugged into your computer, its hardware controls correspond 1 to 1 with Ableton Live’s interface—no additional configuring is required. In addition, all of APC40 mkII’s controls can be re-assigned on the fly for customized setups that change with your performance or production style. APC40 mkII is also powered over USB and supports plug-and-play connectivity, allowing you to take this controller from the studio to the stage or wherever you go. Whether you are an electronic music artist and Live is your canvas, a DJ using Live for performance and real-time mixing, or a more traditional musician using Live on stage or in the studio, you will find the APC40 mkII to be the intuitive, powerful instrument that directly links your inspiration with Ableton Live.
Powerful Production Suite
APC40 mkII comes packed with a music production suite that includes a version of Ableton Live, two high-definition virtual synthesizers, and 5GB of professional samples and loops for immediate out-of-the-box music creation. Ableton Live Lite enables musicians and producers to spontaneously compose, record, remix, improvise, and edit musical ideas in a fluid audio/MIDI environment. Also included is the Puremagnetik Effect Racks, a collection of over 200 sophisticated audio effects engineered for instant sound sculpting. This collection comes packed with an endless variety of channel strips, DJ and live sound effects, glitch racks, amp racks, modulators, filters, beat processors, and noise boxes. Hybrid 3, by AIR Music Tech, is a virtual synthesizer for electronic musicians, DJs, sound designers, and music producers who love to get their hands dirty. Create anything from fat, retro synth sounds to edgy, modern leads and everything in between. SONiVOX Twist is a spectral morphing synthesis virtual instrument. Comprised of a dynamic interface, an advanced pattern generator, and onboard effects, Twist lets you create serious sounds using simple controls. Finally, five Toolroom artist launch packs and five Prime Loops sample packs feature an eclectic mix of sounds from today’s electronic music scene. Jumpstart your inspiration with these premium instrumental loops, drum kits, one-shots, and more.
