Either get music reactive lights (not so fancy, but much less work) or I think you can use Ableton Link to integrate it with some specialist lighting software.
I use vibrio on a second iPad and dmxking device connected to an old Apple airport in a separate network. Works ok, but itās a bit hard to get stuff synced to music so this is my way of saying āfollowingā

Hey @Cooljackdj @Algy_Taylor @Alpackan ,
Thank you for bringing this up for discussion here in the Community
Writing to share that djay works with SoundSwitch via Ableton Link, so the current playback tempo can be transferred to SoundSwitch in order to sync the lighting.
In the meantime, stay assured that weāll be posting updates regarding this as soon as they are available.
Cheers!

- add Unique Lighting Mode ā automatically creates a custom light show to pair with the rhythm of your track.
Iāve been testing Traktor with Ableton link + Rane One in DVS mode to see how it would fair with SoundSwitch.
It only sends bpm information is what I found so. What I also did was map the buttons in standalone mode to SoundSwitch.
So what this does is if I hit a cue point, etc. The colors will change but keep in sync via ableton link.
I havenāt tried this in DJAY just yet because Iām playing with the iOS version currently.

I will have to test this with my Rane One and Control One + Ableton Link.
I will need to get a dual port lighting to usb adapter.

These are not the droids youāre looking forā¦
My dual usb to lightning adapter shows up today. Now based on my use of SoundSwitch, here is the problem.
If youāre using SoundSwitch on a Mac, you can link SS and DJAY together via Ableton Link.
On iOS Iām going to test it with my Control One since the adapter can be powered as well.
A mobile version of SoundSwitch will be needed. Then you could do the same via Ableton Link on iOS between DJAY and SoundSwitch.
All the testing for DJAY Pro AI is going to be on my iPhone 13.
Sent in a couple technical questions to SoundSwitch.
- Can the Control One have a Standalone Mode with Ableton Link support via firmware upgrade?
- If not, would a SoundSwitch Mobile (iOS) version be considered?

Please! Seems like a no brainer for this market segment. Maybe even a marketing campaign partnership.
The new real-time āAIā audio isolation is cool, but lighting makes a show.

Bump to say that, even though the new DJay 5.0 is fantastic, the ONE thing keeping me from making DJay my main software is the lack of full SoundSwitch implementation. And not just the Ableton Link thing, I mean full support.
Especially with the amazing beatgrid improvements, it would work so nicely with SS. Please Algoriddim, the people need it 
I will be a full time subscriber with just this one feature.

How many people does it take to ACTUALLY make this happen? No, seriouslyā¦how many? DJAY developers, give us a goal. What will it take to get you to do this? Soundswitch has already said they would love to do it. What will it take on your end for us to make this happen? I am already a full time subscriber but I donāt use it full time simply because of this reason. Soundswitch is a true game changer for mobile DJ lighting. DJay 5.0 being released with itās AWESOME beatgrid development, the new VERY clean stems separation, and cool crossfader changes is truly amazing. Donāt you think you could put the nail in the coffin with Soundswitch integration? If you want it to be a PRO solution, give us the PRO feature we are BEGGING for.

+Vote. There is a lot of activity in this thread, but the votes do not reflect it. Everyone please vote this up, if you would like to see SS support. Next we will need to get SS running on iPads for us mobile users.

There are several users who want to bring djay together with their lighting show, and @Slak_Jaw has cracked the door to that open somewhat with their iphone/ipad control of djay desktop app using OSC.
Iām of the position that deeper OSC integration is where algoriddim needs to take djay, because what weāre REALLY talking about is Show Control:
dig a little deeper into that and you might come to agree with me.
while soundswitch integration might be popular, whatās required is DMX sequencing to beatgrids etc, and remote iDevice control of it all is what people expect these days.
Perhaps weāll have it sorted for djay v6

ORā¦Algoriddim isnāt going to listen until we start cancelling subscriptions. One common theme i have seen is that people are ALREADY subscribers but donāt want to use the software full time until we get SS integration. Thatās like saying āI bought this car but Iām not going to drive it until the manufacturer gets me these wheels I want.ā Do you think they ACTUALLY care how often you use the software? As long as you pay for it, they get what they want and have no incentive to add the features you want. The only way to get through to them is to start hitting them in the pocket. This thread is over 2 years old and there hasnāt been one single shred of evidence that they have any intentions of trying to make this happen. Even after SS openly said they would love to work with Algoriddim on integrating the two softwares. I know Algoriddim is a small company with limited employees, but they are going to stay that way unless they start giving the people that are subscribing the features they want.

well, perhaps theyāre waiting for a clear indication from the userbase (subscribers) on which way to proceed?
That said, it seems to me that many users clearly donāt care, since the LED lights they use probably have sound-sensing capabilities and are happy with lights flashing in time to the music.
Iād say itās the more professional folk here, the ones who make a significant portion of their income from using djay, who are most interested in a DMX lighting control/sequence integrationā¦and theyāre the ones who have chimed in here already.
Do the algoriddim folk attend/exhibit at any trade shows we might go to? NAMM etc? those of us who go to those should definitely stop in and put faces to handles and make our needs/desires known to them in personā¦
