Liberation is now available – fair and flexible pricing, no subscription lock-in
World class software for world class shows
Liberation is built on principles of usability, reliability, and performance - engineered in high-performance C++ and tested in demanding, real-world productions.
At Glastonbury, it ran 90 lasers from a single computer for three nights straight without missing a beat.
Whether you're a seasoned professional or a newcomer to laser design, Liberation makes it fast and intuitive to align zones, map projection surfaces, and create powerful shows with confidence.
