Lightshow.lol

Lightshow.lol is an online Mode Editor and general purpose Vortex Engine simulator.

Connect with any Vortex Device to edit modes and preview them in real-time.

The preview will never look exactly like real LEDs. Although this is a direct simulation, RGB programmable LEDs produce light and colors differently from computer monitors and screens.

The Basics

Think of lightshow.lol as a second Vortex Device.

If you have an Orbit, then lightshow.lol acts like another Orbit you can copy modes to, edit, and sync back.

1. Connect device to lightshow.lol
2. Import modes from device
3. Edit modes with live previews on the device
4. Backup or share modes with the community
5. Sync updated modes back to the device
