Control your lighting without a laptop
The W1 MK3 is built for fully standalone operation, so you can create, edit, and run light shows directly from the unit. This removes the need for external software and keeps your setup simple, especially in live environments where reliability matters. Everything is accessible from the onboard interface, including fixture selection, effect control, and show playback. Whether you’re setting up in a club, bar, or mobile rig, you can get up and running quickly without extra gear. It’s a practical option if you want fewer points of failure and a more focused workflow.
Flexible control across larger setups
With support for up to four DMX universes, the MK3 gives you room to expand your lighting rig. You can assign universes across multiple outputs, helping you manage different fixture groups with ease. This is useful for more complex shows where you need separate control over moving heads, washes, and effects. It also supports linking with other controllers and systems, making it easier to scale your setup when needed. Even as your rig grows, the layout stays manageable and clear, so you’re not overwhelmed mid-performance.
Shape your show with built-in effects
The integrated FX modules let you quickly build engaging lighting looks without deep programming. Colour FX allows layered colour combinations, while Move FX helps position and animate beams across your stage. Beam FX adds chases and patterns that bring energy to bars, dancefloors, and live shows. You can sync everything to music using the onboard microphone or line input, keeping your lighting tight to the rhythm. It’s a hands-on approach that helps you react in real time rather than relying on pre-programmed sequences.
Updated design for modern setups
This MK3 version introduces a more compact and lighter build, making it easier to carry between gigs and fit into tighter setups. The addition of USB-C improves connection reliability and keeps it in line with current hardware standards. Alongside this, the unit retains its durable construction and responsive interface, including the touchscreen and physical controls. The result is a controller that feels familiar but is easier to handle day to day, whether you’re setting up at home, in a venue, or on the road.
