Powerful Effects Modules

Colour FX: Mix up to 16 colours into a Rainbow, Sparkle or Light Fever effect. Wolfmix will apply the effects to the light’s colour channels including: RGB, Amber, White, UV, or CMY. For light’s without colour mixing, the effects can be applied to a fixed colour wheel.

Move FX: Create moving patterns on Scanners and Moving Heads. The Move FX module includes Pan, Tilt, Circle, and a sweeping Magic Carpet. Fan the light beams and move the centre point of a pattern to play up to the sky or down below on the stage.

Beam FX: Chases, waves and heartbeat dimming effects can be created with the Beam FX module. Effects are applied to colour channels, or for lights without colour mixing- the dimmer or shutter channels. Create custom patterns with the Step Sequencer.

Inside The Beast

Dedicated CPU: Robust beam engine, coded low-level straight onto the silicon, unlocking the raw power of the WOLFs 220 million heartbeats per second.
Flash Memory: 16MB of lighting fast readable NOR flash memory ensures the Wolfmix never misses a beat, with changes written on-the-fly.
Strong Construction: Powder-coated steel base with VESA mount, and reinforced steel back-plate armour the WOLF for tough conditions.
High End Finishing: A laser printed matt oil finish for durable, yet soft-to-touch silicon pads, backlit with colour changing LEDs.
Touch Screen: 4.3” capacitive touch display with tinted glass. Fine-tune your project with the colour picker, pan/tilt grid and on-screen keyboard for naming pre-sets.
Push Encoders: 4 incremental push encoders with acceleration, for fine-tuning parameters whilst flying from 0-100% with a single twist.

The Wolfmix Toolbox

Wolfmix operates as a standalone controller without any computer required. Wolfmix can also be connected to a computer’s USB3 socket for some additional functionality with the WTOOLS app.

Cloud Project Backup: Backup your projects onto a computer. Backups are automatically synchronized via the cloud and can be downloaded onto any Wolfmix, anywhere.
Beat Sync With DJ Software: Take the BPM calculated by your music production and DJ software using Ableton Link or OS2L. WTOOLS will read the beat and pass it to the Wolfmix.
15000+ Fixture Profiles: Never be stuck without a profile. Backup fixture profiles created on the Wolfmix, or load any profile from the Nicolaudie SSL2 fixture library.
P3D Visualiser: Create a 3D representation of your stage, and render your project in real-time with Easy View 2 without any DMX input interface required (add-on purchase required).

WLINK

Connect 2 Wolfmix controllers together with the 5pin-5pin WLINK cable (available separately) and both will follow each other. This allows for up to 8 groups to be controlled side-by side, or for dual control by extending with a standard 5pin DMX cable. Sync a Wolfmix behind the bar with another in the DJ booth, or a Wolfmix on stage with another Front Of House.

Alternatively, the WLINK socket can be used to connect a DMX controller such as a traditional DMX fader-board- allowing for DMX input channels to be mapped to group dimmers or directly to output channels. WLINK requires an add-on purchase available through the WTOOLS app.
