Chataigne is a free, open-source desktop application that acts as a central hub for synchronizing software, hardware devices, and sensors in shows, interactive installations, and prototyping. It supports a wide range of protocols (OSC, MIDI, DMX, MQTT, WebSockets, etc.) and offers state machines, timeline sequencing, and module routing for artists, technicians, and developers.
Use cases
- synchronize Resolume, TouchDesigner, and Millumin during a live show
- map MIDI controller input to OSC parameters in TouchDesigner
- build an interactive installation triggered by Kinect or Wiimote sensors
- sequence DMX lighting cues alongside audio playback
- route values between multiple softwares regardless of protocol
- create a custom web dashboard to control a show remotely
- prototype real-time interactions between Unity and external hardware
When to choose
- you need a free, artist-friendly hub to connect show software, sensors, and hardware
- your project mixes protocols like OSC, MIDI, DMX, and MQTT
- you want both timeline-based show control and real-time interactive state machines
- you need pre-built integration modules for common media and lighting software
When to avoid
- you need a lightweight embeddable library rather than a standalone GUI application
- your use case is pure audio production or video editing without device/protocol bridging
- you require a commercial support contract or proprietary licensing
