Topic: I found a really nice SoundSwitch alternative: DMX Desktop
Thought I would share this with the community as I never really clicked with SoundSwitch (too strobey and random + not stable enough on my computers for wedding use). I then tried out Freestyler and QLC+, but they do take a good amount of time and learning to get up and running and are not the fastest to adapt to different room/light layouts (which a mobile DJ like me must have).

Enter DMX Desktop (which happened to come up in my Facebook feed one day). At this point of testing over the last week, it's seems to be a better version of SoundSwitch with full MIDI, OS2L and other nice features. It's VERY quick to get a good looking show up and running and really easy to adapt to different rooms and layouts.

The free version allows 128 channels over 1 universe. I had great interactions with Mike (head programmer of the software) who was kind enough to help me get up and running over the last week. He also showed me an AWESOME OS2L + VDJ feature that is incoming late spring.

It actually does have a free version that's 128 channels in 1 universe.

I think it makes you unlock it via the Upgrade tab if I remember right.

 
Yes there is a free version - and they make it quite clear on their site that they reserve the right to stop offering it free at any point, so it's uncertain how long the free version will stay free.
