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
- 01Live audio DSP and beat signals instead of relying on a prepared per-track script as the default.
- 02A node graph that stays editable mid-show.
- 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).
