A desktop application for designing Northstar shows on a laptop, completely offline. Drag-and-drop cues, time-aligned sequences, daily schedules, version control. When you're ready, deploy to Helm with one click.
No proprietary timeline that locks you in. Compose stores shows as readable, diffable files you can put in version control and ship like code.
Drop cues on a millisecond timeline. Group them into scenes. Branch into alt paths based on triggers from Polaris.
Hit play on the laptop. Watch the show run in a virtual venue. Catch timing bugs before they cost a guest cycle.
Map cues to Polaris outputs by friendly name. Rename zones without re-wiring every cue.
Audio files, lighting palettes, image cues, video clips — all kept in your project, deployed alongside the show file.
Show files are plain text under the hood. Diff them, branch them, code-review them. Roll back when Friday's change broke Saturday.
Validate locally, then push to Helm over the venue network. Atomic swap. Undo fast if you don't like it.
Zones, cues, timelines, the node graph, your media library — Compose keeps the whole show in one place and lets you jump between them instantly.
Compose is a native desktop app on Windows and macOS. No browser, no plugin, no cloud sync. Your show stays on your laptop until you push it.
