I play in a band as Singer and Lead Guitarist. I also play blues harp.

My setup:

Bandhelper on an Android based tablet (Samsung Tablet S6)
Headrush Core guitar/vocal processor
Quicco Mi.1 II wireless bluetooth midi adapter for processor
Chocolate Bluetooth MIDI 4 button foot controller (page turner)

My Headrush rig is mounted on 2 boards. 1 has the HR processor, the other board has 2 expression pedals, Banshee Talkbox, and Bluetooth page turner prewired with a quick connect to the processor.

I have MIDI presets created in Bandhelper to control the headrush which includes Patch recall (Program Change) and turning on/off the 14 effect blocks (Control Change). The BH app sends MIDI via Bluetooth to a small wireless midi adapter that is permanently installed on the HR Core processor.

When I select a song in BH, midi is sent to the guitar/vocal processor that recalls a patch and enables specific vocal, guitar and/or harp settings. During a show, as I page through the setlist with the Bluetooth pedal, each song change sets up the processor. I also have a button on the page turner pedal setup to trigger an mp3 file to play audio as the song intro.

I only use a custom designed layout that has song lyrics, setlist popup, and midi buttons to manually control my vocal/guitar/harp sounds when jamming. It's my control console.

Everything fits in a rolling heavy hard sided canvas case. My mic stand is prewired with tablet holder, vocal mic, harp mic holder, and voice box tube. It collapses down and stores in a large heavy canvas bag designed for a camping chair. Setup takes 5 minutes.

Bandhelper is my control console for all things musical.

Cool! My favorite part about this is "Setup takes 5 minutes."  ;D
