features

In Sorcerer, controls aren't words in a command line. They're shapes.

• 3D Bitmapping
• 3D Gradients (Experimental)
• 3D Magic Sheets
• Driver Support
• Follow Paths/Curves
• Animatics (Choreography pre-viz)

In other tools, spatial audio is just a dot on a graph.
In Sorcerer, it’s a bird flying through a forest.

• Move listener through stationary soundscape
• Represent audio objects/scenes with detailed meshes
• LSA animation (graph editor, NLA editor, dope sheet, etc.)
• Full, 3-dimensional range of freedom for objects
• Considers Blender's constraints system (follow curves)
• Supports asymmetrically scaled audio objects
• Synchronize LSA with lighting control in-software
• Connects with Qlab for realtime playback
• Mixdown speaker-specific audio files for final show
• Connects directly with sequencer

In Sorcerer, your cue list isn’t a spreadsheet. It’s a multimedia concert of inspiration.

• Cue Strips
• Macro Strips
• Flash Strips
• Trigger Strips
• Offset Strips (Experimental)
• AI Song Analyzer (External Dependency Required)
• Blender's built-in text, sound, video, color strips, and virtual camera strips

Instead of abstracting away the detail, you live in it — frictionlessly.

• Group Controller Nodes
• Mixer Nodes (Gradients)
• Node Groups
• Node Links
• Store and recall dozens of cue/sequence variations

Programming defines rules. Animation defines life.

• Animate ~50% of Sorcerer properties
• Graph Controllers (2025)

Orb speaks fluent console. You speak fluent theatre.

• Creates qmeos, which store animation data onto Eos
• Creates macros needed for sequenced events
• Syncs sequencer events to event lists
• Completes many other repetitive tasks throughout Sorcerer
• Ensures all data can be stored directly on FOH hardware
• Uses TCP network protocol for reliability (Experimental)

• Level of Detail (LOD) style system to decrease bandwidth
• Democracy mode and HTP mode
• Uses UDP network protocol for speed
