LX Studio has been superceded by the Chromatik Digital Lighting Workstation, which uses the same underlying LX libraries with a new, modern UI layer. Chromatik continues in the tradition of LX Studio as an open and extensible framework for custom development. It is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. More information can be found on the website.

LX Studio is a digital lighting workstation, bringing concepts from digital audio workstations and modular synthesis into the realm of LED lighting control. Generative patterns, interactive inputs, and flexible parameter-driven modulation — a rich environment for lighting composition and performance.

LX Studio uses the Processing framework. There are two ways of working with LX Studio.

• LXStudio-IDE — Work in a complete Java IDE (recommended!)
• LXStudio-P4 — Work in the Processing applet IDE
