Who is SDC for?

Simple DMX Controller is built for everyone who needs great-looking light without a complicated setup – mobile DJs who set up and tear down every night, bands running their own light show from the stage, small venues and bars with a fixed rig, and hobbyists building something at home. If you can use a computer, you can use SDC.

That focus is the difference – where dedicated consoles bury you in programming syntax, SDC keeps scenes, colors, effects and movement one click away – while still scaling to hundreds of fixtures when you need it.

How it works

1. Install SDC on any modern Windows PC – no special hardware requirements.

2. Add your fixtures – load a GDTF file and SDC labels every channel and creates palettes automatically.

3. Connect your output – any USB-to-DMX interface or Art-Net node – SDC isn’t locked to any brand.

4. Run your show – scene faders, effects, timeline playback, and hands-on control with an Akai APC Mini or from your phone via the built-in remote.

Try everything free in 2-hour sessions – no feature limits.

Why Simple DMX Controller?

No GDTF fixture file for your fixture? You can create a GDTF file in SDC, automatically from the PDF manual or manually.

A simple interface designed for easy understanding and use.

No hardware lock-in – use any Art-Net device or USB-to-DMX adapter.

Control SDC from any phone, tablet, or laptop on your network – browser remote or dedicated app, no install needed.

Minimal setup – pick your device, add fixtures, start creating.

Light on resources, so an inexpensive dedicated PC can run your show full-time.

SDC provides a clear overview of your whole rig – instead of clicking through fixtures one by one, see every color, DMX value, output level and fixture status, and much more, at a glance.
