Devices & System Requirements

Honest specs, no fine print. Anything from ~2019 handles it; low-GPU mode covers older kit.

CAN A PHONE OR IPAD HOST THE VISUALS?

Straight answer: no, not for gigs. iPads and phones can technically load the web app, but four things make them a bad host - Web MIDI is blocked on iOS, background tabs get suspended mid-set, USB DMX and laser output don't exist in any mobile browser, and heavy Worlds shaders thermal-throttle within minutes.

Their winning role is the wireless controller above - keep the visuals on a laptop or desktop, run the show from your phone.
