    A SoundSwitch alternative when you want a live patch, not a DJ-library workflow

    SoundSwitch is DJ lighting software with AutoScripting, phrase detection, Autoloops, DJ-software integration, MIDI, and Art-Net. WavePhase is a general-purpose node-based lighting and visuals runtime. This page compares workflows. It does not claim SoundSwitch is incomplete.

    How WavePhase approaches the same job

    1. 01Live audio DSP and beat signals instead of relying on a prepared per-track script as the default.
    2. 02A node graph that stays editable mid-show.
    3. 03Art-Net/sACN, MIDI, timecode, Web Control, Stage 3D, GPU visuals, and API/MCP on the relevant tiers.

    When each product may fit

    • When WavePhase may fit better

      You want one live patch that reacts to a mixer feed, accepts MIDI/API overrides, drives pixels and Stage 3D, or runs unattended with Show Lock — without building a lighting show per library track as the main workflow.

    • When SoundSwitch may fit better

      You want DJ-software-centric AutoScripting and Autoloops, phrase-based show generation for a music collection, and a product designed around that DJ performance workflow (see SoundSwitch’s current software page).
