QLC+ is a free and cross-platform software to control DMX or analog lighting systems like moving heads, dimmers, scanners etc.

Comments and Reviews
It's an incredible project and the new version covers features, which you just find in high price software. perfect for each kind of fixtures (dimmers, led lights, moving heads), with a lot of assistants and also a fixture editor, if your device isn't in the fixture list yet. I really like the led matrix feature and how the software deals with moving heads (FX feature).
