Smode Designer License

From 60€

Deliver world-class live experiences. On-time.

SMODE Designer is the end-to-end toolchain for live professionals.

It integrates seamlessly content creation, stage simulation, and playback, achieving real-time performance at every step of the process.

Unleash your creativity and watch it unfold live on stage: don’t let rendering times get in the way of the perfect show.

SMODE designer runs with watermarked inputs and outputs by default. Once you have your SMODE designer license, you can remove those watermarks through using I/O channels unlocks.

Important: SMODE Designer is locked by a Wibu CodeMeter dongle. You might already own one, for instance if you already use Notch, Touch Designer, or a similar tool.

If we can't find your one or in case of ambiguity, we'll drop you an email to ask.
