When using Serato Pro with Engine OS (in “Computer Mode”) on a standalone controller (like the Prime 4 or SC Live 4), is it possible to switch to Lighting and control DMX lights using Soundswitch?

Yes but only with the soundswitch desktop app.

I have never tried that.
I don’t think you can actually switch to the Engine Lighting mode from controller mode.
On the surface I dont think it’s possible but I will check when I’m at the laptop.

This. ⬆
EngineLighting is based on EngineDJ, which is getting fully bypassed while in controller mode (hence the required reset). Imagine it like that ‚Bootcamp‘ dual OS choice on Intel Macs. It‘s either or.
No biggie though, since with SeratoDJ you have your laptop standing somewhere next to you anyway, so just let SoundSwitch run there. The Control One will also work when connected with the laptop via USB.
