Professional DMX software
Runs onWindows
Freestyler is a free Professional Lighting control software and is used by many experienced DJs and lighting designers. The further development is supported by a huge network of users worldwide.
FreeStyler is MEVP (Magic 3D Easy View protocol) compatible and can be used with "Magic 3D easy view" for free.
Versions
The manufacturer lists FreeStyler 4.1.7 of 28 December 2024 as the current version. Until October 2026 the button on this page still pointed to version 3.6 from 2020. Both are free and run on Windows; the manufacturer does not offer a separate beta.
The short answer
Not directly — FreeStyler is a Windows program. The manufacturer’s wiki describes the route via a virtual Windows with VMware Fusion, Parallels or the free VirtualBox. The virtual Windows should get at least 2 GB of RAM; the Mac itself should have at least 4 GB, 8 GB recommended. The USB interface is then passed through to Windows in the virtual machine’s settings.

Every button loads the file straight from the manufacturer’s server — no sign-up, no detour via the forum. Size, date and file name were verified on 12 October 2026.

Background
FreeStyler DMX is a free lighting control program for Windows. It is written by a single developer, Raph, at freestylerdmx.be. Alongside, the user community runs freestylersupport.com with the forum holding the latest versions, a wiki serving as the online manual and a bug tracker.
According to the manufacturer, FreeStyler drives up to 512 fixtures in two DMX universes, has a built-in chaser for LED fixtures and can be operated by touchscreen and MIDI. Sunlite’s 3D preview “Magic 3D Easy View” can be used with it for free.
A Windows computer, a DMX interface and a fixture profile for every type of fixture. If a profile is missing, you build it yourself with the manufacturer’s FixtureCreator or look for it in the forum — the manufacturer explicitly does not take profile requests by email. After installation an English help file sits in FreeStyler’s program group.
The manufacturer’s interface list has its own entry for “JMS USB2DMX”. You pick it under Setup › FreeStyler Setup › Interface setup; the step-by-step guide is further down under “Questions and answers”.
Art-Net is on the same list. That is how FreeStyler reaches the AIR2DMX PRO, which receives Art-Net over Wi-Fi.
