🪄ORCHESTRATOR

Orchestrator is a Nanoleaf Premium feature in the Nanoleaf Desktop App that transforms your lights into a real-time music visualizer.

Using direct audio capture (from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and more), Orchestrator analyzes each song and generates reactive light shows, with motion and colors Taylor Swift'd to your music. Not a Swiftie? No problem, we can tailor it to any genre of music!

Available with a Nanoleaf Premium subscription 🔒 
Start your free trial in the Desktop App to unlock Scenescapes and Orchestrator.
