Hopefully someone else can suggest a specific lighting controller to use. I can say that all the connections options you mentioned -- virtual MIDI (meaning another app on the same device), Bluetooth or a MIDI cable should work.

Is he using a phone or a tablet (screen shot looks like a phone)? iOS or Android? Is he drawing with a stylus or his finger?

Repertoire Help / BandHelper and DMX (Luminaire ...
Last post by cfautley - April 19, 2024, 06:40:32 AM
I use BandHelper to connect to a widijack via Bluetooth, to send midi to a gt1000core to set guitar patches - this works great. Pressing a song on BandHelper sets my pedalboard switches/patches for that song.
What I'd also like to do is set the colour on our band lights for each song. I'm very flexible on how to do this and I'm interested on how others have done this.
Ideally another ipad app that receives the midi signals sent from BandHelper and sends DMX via WiFi? - can BandHelper connect to a Bluetooth device and another midi device at the same time maybe?
Or maybe a physical midi to DMX device ?
So, in summary,  I'm looking for one press on a BandHelper song to set my pedalboard patch (this bit works already) AND sets the DMX lights on the same press.
Any help or experience appreciated

So I finally got the drummer in my band to agree to that Bandhelper is a really good tool. He has only one thing he don't like with it and that is when he do markings in pdf it gets really bad quality. The picture show the top markings done in bandhelper, and the lower "A" done outside bandhelper.

Is there something he´s doing wrong? (drummers aren't the smartest people on earth, keyboardist is).

Thanks, Arlo.  So the automation track can only be created/edited in the context of a set list view, but its data/metadata is persisted with the song and will be instantaneously available to that song in any setlist.  Thank you.

The automation track is part of the song and will be available in every set list where you use that song.

One thing that I'm not quite clear on is where automation tracks are stored.  If automation tracks are created in the context of a set list editor (as opposed to the song editor), then it seems that I would need to re-create an automation track for a song every time I add that song to a new setlist.  That seems very inefficient, so I assume I'm missing something.  Can an automation track be bound to a song so that it always comes along with the song when added to any setlist?

Sorry if this topic has been discussed, but I couldn't find the answer using the search feature.

I use 4 Tags for song suitability, e.g. @B.El - where @ keeps this flavour all together, B contains Backing, El Electric or Ac Acoustic guitar.
Similarly, I've used a Tag to indicate state of readiness.  And/or whether a song is in a "Homework" setlist.

I don't think replacing one layout element with another on pauses and breaks is a good idea. If you don't have Multiple MIDI Buttons in your layout, you can still send your pinned presets from the single MIDI Button, or an app control action like Song Selection or a foot switch message.

Thanks Arlo, sorry ... I didn't get an alert about your answer. I'll try that setting. Thanks!
