The live visuals app for musicians now plays multiple clips at once, keeps the setlist, backing tracks, and lyrics in one place, and takes its cues from a lighting console.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Providence, RI, October 27, 2026. Spaceage today released Visibox 6.0, the biggest update yet to its live visuals app for bands, DJs, worship teams, and venues. A band's show usually takes several tools: one app for backing tracks, another for lyrics, and a VJ for the screens, if the band can afford one. Visibox 6 runs all of it from one laptop. Each song holds its backing tracks, its lyrics and chord charts (Beta), and its visuals, and a setlist keeps the songs in running order. Performers fire clips from a MIDI controller, a Stream Deck, or a lighting console, and for the first time Visibox plays multiple clips at once, so a second pad layers a second clip instead of cutting off the first. It is available now for macOS and Windows.
One app for the whole show
Visibox 6.0 is built to sit in the rig with everything else the band brings. Setlists keep several running orders in one Project, so a band can reorder a set without deleting anything. Visibox plays multitrack backing tracks with each stem on its own output, and 6.0 adds multichannel ASIO audio on Windows (Beta) for interfaces with more than eight channels. Lyrics and chord charts (Beta) appear on their own display where the band can read them, pasted in from ChordPro, OnSong, chords over words, Nashville numbers, and other formats.
The picture can go anywhere too. A show can spread across multiple screens, each showing its own slice of one canvas with its own position, scale, rotation, and flip, laid out visually in the new Canvas settings. Visibox can send its output to other places, all in Beta: NDI to any receiver on the network, SDI through Blackmagic DeckLink cards, and Syphon on Mac or Spout on Windows straight into OBS, Resolume, VDMX, MadMapper, or TouchDesigner without a capture card. NDI and SDI carry audio. Visibox can also record its output, with audio, to a video file.
Play video like a sampler
The new way to play is called polyoptic playback, and it works the way a synth works: a second key adds a second voice instead of cutting off the first. Hit a pad and a clip fires. Hit another and it layers on top. Hold a pad and the clip plays only while you hold it. Hit harder and it comes in louder. Each song's Poly Mode decides how the clips share the frame: blended over each other, tiled side by side, or split into stripes and spots. A performer can mash up, remix, and build a picture in real time instead of switching between finished ones. Sound files can be clips too, so a drum hit and a visualizer drawn from its sound can live on the same pad.
Who else can play it
The performer is not the only one who can play Visibox. Lighting operators can patch it as a fixture on grandMA, Hog, Eos, ChamSys, Avolites, or QLC+ and run it from cues over sACN or Art-Net, the same protocols they already use for the rig. The console picks songs and clips, runs transport, and rides intensity, volume, and color, while the show itself stays built in Visibox. In a church, school, or small venue, one person can now run lights and video from the same desk.
The sound person can play it too. Visibox Remote, out now for iPhone, iPad, and Android, puts the controls on a phone or tablet. The engineer who already walks the room mixing from an iPad can pick songs, fire clips, step through the setlist, and set the volume from front of house, from the side of the stage, or from wherever the picture looks right. It is free and works with Visibox 6 on any Pro plan.
A song can also play itself. With Song Timelines (Beta), a song's clips, cameras, and visualizers fire on their own at the right moment, and the timeline can send MIDI so a guitar rig changes patch at the right bar. Visibox 6.0 also takes OSC from apps like TouchOSC, QLab, Resolume, and Max/MSP, and works with Bitfocus Companion and Node-RED.
Also in 6.0
ISF shader effects now run alongside Visibox's built-in effects, so the ISF effects already out there work on any clip. Audio-reactive effects can follow the Visibox mix, a microphone, a line input, or the sound coming out of another app. Overlays put a logo or a lower third over everything, for a whole Project, one song, or one clip. Every window in Visibox has been rebuilt on one consistent design, and Visibox launches and opens big Projects faster. Under the hood, 6.0 runs on a rebuilt output engine that draws the show once and sends the same picture to every screen, to NDI and SDI, to Syphon or Spout, and to the recorder, all at the same time.
"Visibox has always been a video sampler for the stage," said Jeff Robbins, founder of Spaceage. "Version 6 makes it play like one. Hit two pads and you get two clips. Hit harder and they come in louder. And you still build a show the way you always have, by dragging in your media and assigning your triggers."
