EMU is free to download and use forever
EMU is free to download and use forever. There is no trial period, no expiry, no time limit. The free version is a permanent free version of the product.
What the free version gives you
- 1 universe of DMX output (512 channels)
- Generic fixture library
- Sound Tracker, LED Mapping, VST3 plugin mode, MIDI control, all core features
- Works with EMU Hardware Interface, DMX USB Pro, ODE MK3, and the legacy DMXIS breakout box
When you need Premium (optional paid subscription)
Premium adds:
- Up to 8 universes of DMX output (4,096 channels) via Art-Net
- The full Enttec fixture library
- Extended features beyond the free tier
Premium is offered monthly or yearly. You only need it if you want more than 1 universe or the full fixture library — otherwise the free version is enough.
For DMXIS users migrating to EMU
Your DMXIS hardware (1-universe USB box) works directly with EMU's free version. You are not being asked to start paying for replacement software. Just download EMU, plug in your DMXIS, and you're set — same 1-universe configuration, no cost.
Premium is only relevant if you want to expand beyond what DMXIS already gave you.
