BETA 01 · PLAN THE PERFORMANCE

Your music. A real performance.

Choose your music and Tesla. Make something worth watching.

A great starting point, without the control-room overload.

MUSIC & SYNC ADD AUDIO TO BEGIN

The demo is a sequence, not your song.

Add matching audio to preview the demo, or add any song and build your own show.

Clicks and grid help verify the estimate. Beat alignment affects new generation; use Shift lights below to move an existing sequence.

PERFORMANCE PLAN EXPERIMENTAL · YOU DIRECT

Give the song a story.

Estimated sections are a starting point. Choose a section, assign its role, then compare arrangements. No stems or lyrics are recognized.

Add a song to create your performance plan.

No section selected

Choose your song first. ZIP import preserves the imported show until you explicitly generate.

One song. Three directions.

Dialogue trades sides, Sweep holds a lead side longer, Rhythm changes the motif and fill variation. Compare them in the vehicle preview.

These are alternatives, not an automatic quality ranking. Select one, preview it, then use the normal USB export.

PHRASE WORKSHOP SELECT → ADJUST → REBUILD

These are estimated musical phrases, not lyric or verse/chorus recognition. Director groups similar phrases into recurring motifs; Classic uses the original energy phrases. Click a card to select it, then audition or rebuild.

Analyze audio to find phrases.

Fades are commands, not steady brightness. Motion commands require clearance and actuation-limit review.

WHAT THE PREVIEW CAN VERIFY

Front, rear and top views share the same sequence data. Ramps are approximate. Juniper center-bar mapping is owner-observed; its rear center strip remains an outline until verified. Camera images, matrix-headlight projections, suspension and undocumented channels are not authored here.

REFINE YOUR SHOW EDIT · REHEARSE · CHECK
REUSE A SECTION

Uses the start / end range above. Copies all channels, including imported closures.

Select a chorus once. Reuse it on the next one.

FIX CONSTANT TIMING OFFSET

Positive = lights later. Negative = earlier. Changes the export; clips at the ends. Closure timing stays unchanged. This does not fix drift.

EXPORT CONFIDENCE

Check dark gaps, audio length, and format before heading outside.

Read-only folder inspection. No erasing or writing.

COMMUNITY POWERED

Free tools. Shared knowledge. Good coffee.

Pulse Garage is free for everyone. Here to help people learn, create, and share what they know.

FREE FOR EVERYONE · ALWAYS OPTIONAL

More light shows.
More shared knowledge.

Pulse Garage is free. I built it to help everyone learn, create, and spread the knowledge.

If you’d like to buy me a coffee, you can—but it’s totally optional. No payment is needed, and every feature is yours either way.

Thanks for being here. Sharing what you learn helps, too.

Before you head outside

These checks catch file problems. A vehicle test still confirms playback.

Includes a LightShow folder with matching files and a setup guide. Existing USB files are never changed by this app.

From studio to driveway

Open an exported show ZIP to load its sequence and matching audio together. Or import an uncompressed V2 FSEQ, then add its matching audio. ZIP import keeps the existing choreography; it does not generate a new show. Choose your vehicle because older packages do not include vehicle settings. Preview timing, paint effects, or generate a new show from audio.

Export opens a check report, then downloads one ZIP containing the FSEQ and its matching WAV. Audio is required for the complete USB package. Put both in a case-sensitive LightShow folder on an exFAT USB. Tesla’s guide says the drive must not contain a root TeslaCam folder. This app never formats a drive.

In the car: Park → glovebox USB → Toybox → Light Show → Schedule Show → select your show.

The schematic approximates the selected vehicle’s exterior lights and screen color. Vehicle hardware differences remain approximate. Refreshed 3/Y use the documented shared profile; Juniper front center-bar mapping is based on a single-vehicle owner test (channels 11/12); independent pixels and rear center-bar control are not established here. It does not emulate physical ramping, closure motion, or custom images. Imported closure requests are listed as commands, not a motion simulation. Existing closure channels are preserved on import/export but are not visualized. RGB accents require supported hardware. Screen colors require compatible vehicle software.

Official Tesla format and channel guide ↗

Tesla officially lists Model 3, Model Y, Model S (2021+), Model X (2021+), and Cybertruck. Pre-refresh S/X and the original Roadster are shown as unsupported. All trims share a family profile; choose installed equipment to match your vehicle. The profile does not rewrite imported channel data.

Built-in Tesla camera capture is not connected to this app. No documented public camera-stream or capture endpoint was found in Tesla’s Fleet API vehicle commands. Live Camera in Tesla’s own app is a separate feature.

Studio 06 gives front lights longer melodic holds while rear and side lights answer with shorter rhythmic figures. It was informed by a same-audio sequence comparison against the creator’s Route 66 show and sampled visual review of Tom BetGeorge’s Beat It performance. This remains estimated choreography, not a reproduction or a claim to match those creators.

Studio 05 adds Director: recurring acoustic motifs, bass-weighted tempo checking, estimated builds and drops, selective accents, and fades on supported channels. Phrase labels are estimates, not lyric or instrument recognition. Use Show design → Classic to compare the previous generator. Undo restores the previous sequence; Save project keeps a local project copy. Physical vehicle playback still needs testing.

Studio 03 uses audio-clock playback, local spectral-onset and tempo estimates, audible beat-grid checking, phrase-based choreography, selection regeneration, and a guided workflow. Timing estimates can be wrong: use half/double tempo, manual BPM and beat alignment, then listen before exporting. Every feature remains free; support through Buy Me a Coffee is entirely optional.

Studio 02 adds adjustable generation styles, tap tempo and beat snapping, section copy/paste and range looping, named timeline markers, constant-offset correction, ZIP export, and read-only USB folder checks. Projects save markers and editor settings; audio remains separate.

Community inspiration: presets and channel compatibility · timing offsets · USB naming confusion. These are user reports, not guarantees of vehicle behavior.
