Free
DMX software
MyStrow installs and runs for free for 15 days, with nothing to fill in. Here is exactly what you can do without paying — and the one thing you won't be able to do.
Download for free ↓What the free version lets you do
Full AI Light
The mode that analyses the sound live and generates colours and intensities on its own works without restriction. You can test it on your own tracks before deciding to buy.
Timeline programming
Build your light sequences block by block, aligned to the waveform of your tracks. The shows you create stay saved on your computer.
Interactive stage plot
Patch your fixtures, split them into groups and check the result on screen. This is where you see the AI and your sequences at work.
Audio & video player
The full playlist, with media transitions and light sync, works in the free version.
Built-in AKAI simulator
No need for a physical controller: the pad grid and faders work with the mouse. Hardware stays optional.
No credit card
Nothing to fill in when downloading, so no charge is possible after the 15 days. The trial just stops, that's all.
What the free version doesn't do
DMX output requires a paid plan
It's the only limit, but it matters, so you might as well know it right away: in the free version, MyStrow sends nothing to your fixtures. Sending DMX commands — whether over Art-Net to a network node or through a USB/DMX interface — is reserved for the Pro and Lifetime plans.
In practice: you can build everything and see everything on screen, but the physical fixtures that are plugged in won't move.
Why this limit
The free version exists so that you can judge the software on its merits: how easy it is to use, how good AI Light is on your music, how the timeline behaves on a real show. All of that can be checked on screen, without plugging anything in.
The preparation work isn't lost: patch, groups, sequences and shows are saved on your computer. The day you activate a plan, your show is already ready — all that's left is to plug in the interface.
