What is Vixen?

Vixen is Windows software running on the .net platform that will put the computer in the do-if-yourself computer lighting animation. With a PC and some DIY Electronics Hardware, anyone can have a professional looking lighting display synchronized to music.

Vixen is geared primarily towards the DIYer. For those that prefer a packaged all-in-one solution, there are commerical solutions available. For those that prefer a lower-cost DIY solution, Vixen may be the software for you. There are a broad base of software plug-ins to support different hardware designs. Additionally, you can create you own plug-ins to support your hardware.
