M-Live Lakyx L5 DMX Software, Interface

512-Channel DMX Interface for Synchronized Music and Lighting

The M-Live LAKYX L5 is a hardware DMX interface that pairs with the M-Live B.Beat backing-track player to deliver fully synchronized music and lighting from a single device. This L5 version manages a complete 512-channel DMX universe, giving performers enough headroom for larger stage productions without an external console. An onboard algorithm analyses each audio track in real time and generates a light show that follows the music's style and dynamics, while leaving every cue editable. Performers who want their lighting aligned with their backing tracks will find this interface removes the complexity of traditional DMX programming.

Intelligent Show Generation with Full Editing Control

What sets this unit apart is its combination of automatic show generation and complete user customisation. The algorithm reads the audio track and produces a coherent light show, but every cue can be edited, saved, and re-used in future backing tracks. A continuously updated fixture library lets shows be re-mapped for different venues or lighting rigs without rebuilding from scratch. Hardware features include a dedicated LINK button for wireless pairing with other LAKYX modules and a built-in DMX bypass from IN to OUT.

DMX Control and Connectivity — 512 Channels with Dual Protocol Support

Built around a full 512-channel DMX universe, the maximum capacity of a single DMX line, the device provides enough headroom for most mid-to-large stage rigs. Both DMX and ArtNet protocols are supported, so it integrates with conventional XLR-based lighting desks and network-based lighting systems.

• DMX Channels: 512 — full single-universe capacity for larger productions
• Output Protocols: DMX and ArtNet — flexible integration with conventional and network lighting rigs
• Computer Interface: USB-C — single cable handles both data transfer and direct power from the B.Beat module
• DMX Connectors: 1 × XLR 3-pin input, 1 × XLR 3-pin output — standard DMX wiring with hardware bypass from IN to OUT

Hardware and Signal Integrity — Compact Build with Integrated Termination

Signal integrity matters in DMX installations, and the L5 includes integrated 120 Ohm line termination on both XLR connectors to prevent signal reflections on longer cable runs. The ultra-compact enclosure fits easily alongside a B.Beat player on stage or in a rack bag.

• DMX Termination: 120 Ohm integrated on both XLR connectors — prevents signal reflections without external terminators
• Wireless Pairing: Dedicated LINK button — pairs the unit with other LAKYX modules wirelessly
• Dimensions (W × D × H): 84 × 80 × 61 mm — ultra-compact footprint for stage or rack-bag use
• Weight: 170 g — lightweight and portable for touring setups

Software and System Requirements — Full LAKYX Suite with B.Beat Integration

Included with the unit is the full LAKYX software suite, providing tools to create, edit, and manage lighting shows alongside the M-Live B.Beat player. The fixture library receives continuous updates, so newly released fixtures can be added without waiting for a new software release.

• Included Software: Full LAKYX software suite — create, edit, and manage lighting shows
• Compatible Player: M-Live B.Beat — dedicated plug-in synchronises lighting with backing tracks
• Fixture Library: Continuously updated — supports new fixtures without software upgrades
• Minimum System Requirements: 8 GB RAM (16 GB recommended), 6 GB free disk space — standard hardware for show programming
• Installation Note: Use a DMX splitter/repeater for rigs exceeding 32 devices — preserves signal integrity on larger setups
