Announcements / Set List Maker feature freeze

Last post by arlo - Today at 08:44:39 PM

Set List Maker has always been hampered by some fundamental limitations, which my newer product, BandHelper, was designed to overcome. I've continued developing Set List Maker in parallel to BandHelper for more than 10 years, but have finally decided to stop adding new features to Set List Maker and devote that time to making BandHelper even better. You can continue using Set List Maker as it is now, but I encourage you to migrate to BandHelper for the latest features and most reliable functionality. To make that easier, the latest version 2024-05-23 includes a new Export To BandHelper function that uploads your databases, documents and recordings directly into a BandHelper account.

Please see this page for more of the reasoning behind this change:

You will probably need a USB MIDI interface, not just a cable with USB at one end and MIDI on the other. Examples of that are listed here:

I haven't updated that list since USB-C replaced mini-USB on Android and Lightning on iOS, but if current products don't have a USB-C connector, you could get the required adapter to connect to your iPad.

Repertoire Help / MIDI cable -> Mooer Prime P2

Last post by kilsen - May 25, 2024, 04:32:05 PM

I've been using BandHelper for a while but have not used the MIDI features yet. I recently purchased a Mooer Prime P2 multi-effects device, and it has the ability to accept MIDI commands to change preset banks. I'd like to configure my setlist to send MIDI to the P2 as I scroll through the songs. However, I'm unsure how to connect. The P2 comes with a MIDI cable with a male DIN on the end, but I can't seem to find a cable with a female DIN on one end and a USB-C on the other end (to connect to my iPad).

Has anyone tried using BandHelper with the Mooer Prime P2? Or is anyone aware of a female DIN - to - USB-C cable that might work?

For the record, the controller numbers for MIDI General Purpose Button 1-4 messages are 80-84:

Did you enlarge the text size on your iPad? That could cause the labels to not fit in the picker popup.

I've never heard of this. I recommend submitting a help ticket and then submitting a screen shot and troubleshooting info to the help ticket so I can look at your layout settings.

That seems potentially confusing ("Why can't I see such-and-such a song?" "Because it's already in your set list") and making it an optional setting would add another layer of confusion. I think the current setup of seeing the songs faded and just scrolling past them is not enough of a problem to justify changing that.

Last post by davelson - May 24, 2024, 04:49:15 PM

Not sure if anyone else has found this issue, but occasionally when I touch a song on set list view it closes the set list view but does not open the selected song, instead the previously selected song appears... This does not happen often, maybe once in 20 song selections, but enough to be annoying.... Using latest version of BH with an up to date iPad.

Any thoughts...?

Could there be an option to hide them? Fading isn't bad with a small amount of songs, but once you have a lot, I'd much prefer to just have a checkbox that allows me to hide them and ONLY see songs not in the current list.
