Description
Lighting software plugin for Ableton Live. The plain-text JSON format seems to be quite simple, but undocumented.
- Link to the software / desk console website:
https://beam.showsync.com/ - Where can fixtures of this format be downloaded?
https://forum.showsync.com/c/beam/13 - What file type is the fixture format?
JSON (with.sbffile extension) - Does a schema / description / documentation of the format exist?
Not really, the best ones I found are https://support.showsync.com/beam/#/basics/fixture-editor and https://support.showsync.com/beam/#/advanced/signal-flow - Are there many fixtures of good quality in this format?
No - Is there any existing work done to parse this format?
No

Research direction
Start by reading the linked Showsync Beam fixture editor and signal-flow documentation, then inspect the example fixtures in the linked forum category. Determine the undocumented JSON structure and how it maps to this library's fixture definitions; done means Beam fixtures can be parsed and used by the library.
