What it is

PulseGrid is a free, open-source, local-first DJ workstation that runs in a browser with two decks. It analyzes local tracks for BPM, key, beatgrid, waveform, energy, drops and musical structure. Users can describe a set in natural language, then review a proposed track order, transition points and mixing automation before Auto Play; cues can be edited or mixing taken over manually. The workstation includes Sync, loops, up to eight Hot Cues per track, EQ, effects and browser master-output recording. Supported audio formats include WAV, MP3, AIFF, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG and Opus, with a 600 MB per-file local upload limit. Audio and analysis jobs stay on the user's computer rather than being uploaded to an external PulseGrid server. Some state may be saved in the current browser, and libraries do not sync automatically across devices or browser profiles. Docker installation is documented for Mac, Windows and Linux; native installation is documented for macOS. Chrome or Edge is recommended for first use.

For and against

For

  • Analyzes BPM, key, beatgrid and musical structure.
  • Plans sets from a natural-language brief.
  • Users can review transitions before Auto Play.
  • Audio and analysis jobs stay local.

Against

  • Local uploads are limited to 600 MB per file.
  • Libraries do not sync automatically across devices.
  • Structure detection can be inaccurate in some cases.
  • Docker setup requires a local API and audio tools.

The verdict

PulseGrid brings track analysis, set planning and two-deck mixing into a local browser-based workstation. Its heuristic analysis, local setup needs and browser-specific storage are worth considering before relying on it for a set.

Who it suits

PulseGrid suits DJs who want to analyze local tracks, plan sets and review or perform transitions with editable automation. It is also aimed at users who want audio and analysis to remain local.
