Thanks Arlo! Thats a good idea to implement in the future as time allows for sure! Kind of a "one man band" running these bands so stretched a little thin right now but ill take your advice for sure once time allows. side note, I really like that we can view our users activity and the search functionality. It gives peace of mind seeing the people we staff these bands with logging in and showing their activity on the repertoire ahead of events rather than needing to check in and play baby sitter unless theyre inactive.  8)

Thats interesting to know! So if i select the 1-128 from the 0-127 as it is now It will change the numbers in the actual preset? As mentioned I started with the "midi device" setting already on 0-127 and to line up on the hardware i had to -1 every single midi preset and with all 200 working now im a little nervous to change things just for the sake of midi house keeping to make it proper.   

current bandhelper in 0-127 mode>  32-0-000 = kit 1 And 32-1-0 = kit 129 on the spd-sx

There would be a lot of downsides to making the audio streaming only rather than downloading it.

I suggest making a low-quality version of each recording and assigning those to most users, and only assign the high-quality versions to the users you trust. You can attach both versions to your songs and each user will only get the version assigned to them.

If you change the Numbering setting in BandHelper, all your program and control change entries will adjust automatically.

I would like to be able to protect our custom tracks from being downloaded by subs & musicians without clear permission.

We upload many of our FOH tracks along side the reference tracks so musicians can practice with the cues and actual elements in the live track and I would like to limit it to playback only and not be easily downloaded in the case that were working with an opportunist that may intend to download and use for free what's taken us six years and a lot of time & money to put together.

Would that be a possible additional option for us?

I made a mistake early on when programing for my SPD-SX Pro and had the wrong mode selected on the SPD-SX so I made all 200 kits on the SPD-SX 1 digit ahead which during the learning experience lead me to subtract one number on every program change when saving on the bandhelper app. Now I have 200 program changes saved and working just fine but its a pretty unnessasary hack since it could have been as simple as just selecting the correct mode so the numbers are the same on both devices. It would be useful for a +1/-1 shift to "select all" midi presets and change the value by 1 in either direction or something to that effect so the user could then select the correct mode in the midi device section and be on track quickly rather than going in and changing all 200.

Last post by arlo - January 12, 2026, 11:04:56 AM
Adding the song rating button to the set list and smart list view pages on the website wouldn't be too difficult. I'll add that to my wish list.

For the app, you would either need to go to the Repertoire > Songs list, or use the Edit button from the set list view, as you're doing now.

Another option would be to set all the prospective songs to the same color, then someone could go to the Repertoire > Songs list and filter it to just that color, and work their way down that list. While easier to do, that would be harder to explain, so it might not be worth it.

Repertoire Help / Rating Shortcut on setlist/sma...
Last post by WilburrUK - January 12, 2026, 09:34:49 AM
Is there a way - either on web, or better yet in-app - to see the "sheild" icon (which acts as a shortcut to give a song a rating) that appears in the "Songs" list but in a smartlist/setlist view?

We tend to go through phases of people suggesting songs, and they end up in a "current suggestions" smartlist it would be really useful if band-members could view that list and easily "vote" on which suggestions they like most. (they can do it by editing the song, but that's not as simple as clicking the shield and selecting a rating).

One suggestion would be

Other Help / Page turner help!
Last post by ScaryGeorge - January 10, 2026, 01:32:52 AM
I am pretty new to the app, and bought a page turner to toggle between songs and scroll mid song. I only use the app for lyrics.

I can add the device to my iPad, but none of my apps will actually respond to the page turner when I click.

I feel very old right now, so if I could get a tiny bit of help, that would be awesome.

The pedal is "gear4music"'s own device.
I have gone thru the set up as proposed on the help page. But no success

Thanks / Micke
