Download OtoMotion
The trial and the full version are the same app. How long you can use it is set by the license file (license.json) we send you by email.
Includes the app, the XPression sample scenes and the English and Japanese manuals. All folder and file names are in English. (A version with Japanese folder names is on the Japanese page.)
No license yet? Request a free 14-day trial. The Mac version (Apple silicon, macOS 14 or later) is sent individually with your trial or purchase.
Getting started
Step-by-step instructions are in Quick_Start.html and the manual inside the zip
Unzip
First right-click the zip → Properties, tick "Unblock" and press OK (this stops the Windows warnings). Then unzip it anywhere, for example on the Desktop. Nothing is installed.
Start
Double-click OtoMotion.exe in the OtoMotion folder. Without "Unblock", Windows asks first: "Windows protected your PC" → [More info] → [Run anyway]; "The publisher could not be verified" → [Run].
License
Save the license.json from our email to the Desktop and press [Load] on the license screen.
Audio and XPression
Choose your audio input in Settings › Device and groups, and add an XML/JSON TCP source (port 7327) in DataLinq Server.
From the trial to the full version
No reinstall. Just load your purchased license.json; your settings and venue presets stay as they are.
- Save the license.json we email you to the Desktop
- In OtoMotion, open Settings › License and press [Load] next to it
- When the remaining days and plan update, you're done. No restart needed
Opening license.json in a text editor and saving it again breaks its signature. Save the attachment as it is.
Updating to a new version
Any 1.x version works with your current license. Your license, settings and venue presets are stored in %APPDATA%\OtoMotion, so they stay when you replace the app folder.
- Quit OtoMotion (the [Quit] button on screen)
- Download the latest zip from this page and unzip it
- Replace the old OtoMotion folder with the new one
- Start OtoMotion.exe. No need to load the license again
System requirements
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 / 11 (64-bit). The Mac version runs on Apple silicon with macOS 14 or later (sent individually) |
| XPression | XML/JSON TCP source of DataLinq Server (tested with XPression 12.5), on the same PC or another PC on the LAN |

Release notes
- The manual, the license screen and the included read-me now describe starting from the downloaded zip and the license file we email you (nothing changes in how the app works, and your license keeps working)
- The read-me and the manual now tell you to tick "Unblock" in the zip's Properties before extracting, which stops the Windows warnings (the app is the same)
- The exe now carries company, product and version information, further reducing antivirus false alarms (nothing changes in use, and your license keeps working)
- Fewer false alarms from antivirus software (the launcher part is rebuilt; nothing changes in use, and your license keeps working)
- The app's code is now shipped compiled to machine code, and license checking is stronger (nothing changes in use; your 1.1.0 license keeps working)
- Quit now closes the monitor window (windows used to pile up on each start)
- The layout adapts to the window width (no more overflow in narrow windows)
- Mac: MIDI devices connected while OtoMotion is running can be used without restarting
- MIDI control. Assign knobs, faders and buttons with MIDI Learn and adjust sensitivity and bands during the show (manual chapter 18)
- OSC output. Send the same measurements you send to XPression to Ross Video Vertex, Resolume, TouchDesigner, lighting consoles and more, including beat triggers that fire clips on the downbeat (chapter 19)
- OSC input. Control OtoMotion from TouchOSC, Bitfocus Companion or Ross Video Vertex: TAP, start/stop, band and gain changes, venue presets (chapter 19)
- Usage examples in the manual for Ross Video Vertex, Resolume, TouchDesigner and Companion
- First release. Loudness metering, band-limited groups, BPM sync, output to XPression DataLinq, sample scenes including CROWD POWER
