Vibe has the minimum amount physical buttons
UK - PLASA London 2013 saw the launch of the new Compulite Vibe lighting console. Vibe is billed as a completely new concept in lighting control integrating conventional buttons and wheels with an innovative and dynamic touch screen based graphical user interface incorporating the latest computer and touch screen technology in an ergonomic and adjustable control surface.

Vibe has the minimum amount physical buttons with the touch screen environment giving the user the flexibility to layout his desktop exactly how he wants it with buttons, display windows and playbacks wherever he wants them. Different desktops can be configured for different parts of the show or for different users. There are no theoretical limits to the number of playbacks of desktop layouts, the user is not constrained by conventional physical hardware, and he can design his own control surface to suit the needs of the show and his creativity.

Compulite's CEO Yehuda Shukrun commented, "It's been 35 years since Compulite launched her first lighting console based on Microcontroller and few years after her first moving light console in the world. Our product innovations always served and will continue to serve the market needs technology and performances wise.

"With the Vibe we didn't want to develop just another console; we wanted to break new ground developing a completely new control surface based on what the modern user is familiar with - revolution, not evolution. The console received unanimous acclaim at the show, with users convinced that the time is right for this kind of interactive and adaptable approach to lighting control."
