Repertoire Help / Re: Audio Interfaces for Multi...
Last post by Moxamstudios - September 08, 2025, 11:15:43 AMA further update.
I acquired a new USB hub. A 4+2 port USB3 hub from Venter. It has a beefier power supply; 12V 3A.
Nonetheless, to not tax the USB hub as much, I am now connecting the lightning cable from the camera adapter kit to a separate charger, rather than to the hub.
I haven't tried using phantom power on the UMC404HD, but I have used all four inputs simultaneously. I've connected two channels of an acoustic preamp and two dynamic mic's to the four inputs, and I've not noted any problems. This was done using Loopy Pro, which, although they don't recommend using multiroute audio, has functioned smoothly.
The only thing that's important for the setup to work is to connect/power the UMC404HD last.

Announcements / iOS 26
Last post by arlo - September 08, 2025, 10:36:10 AMThe current iOS app version is mostly unaffected by iOS 26. The main issue I see is that layout sizing is slightly off because iOS 26 changes the size of the top and bottom toolbars. Also, the system menu consists of default items placed there by Apple, many of which are irrelevant to BandHelper.
Next Sunday, I plan to release a new app version with some updates to address the layout sizing issue, plus a Help > Utilities > Update Layout Height button that you can use to adjust the current layout for better compatibility across different operating systems.
The new version will also include the iOS 26 SDK, with the new Liquid Glass interface design. However, I only used that sparingly because I felt that a full implementation was too cluttered and wasted screen space. Here are the changes you will see:
- Popovers will have a "glass" transparency effect
- The song list, document toolbar and buttons placed over the document viewer will have a "glass" transparency effect
- The system menu will be customized to include BandHelper functions
Here are some remaining issues with iOS 26:
- Popup windows don't have the "glass" transparency effect
- You can no longer long-press the Back button to jump back multiple levels at once
- Bottom toolbar buttons are spaced further apart, which could push some buttons out of view on smaller screens
- Selecting a previous window size from the Window menu doesn't do anything
If you see any further issues, please submit a help ticket.

Repertoire Help / Re: Song Notes / Setlists
Last post by arlo - September 08, 2025, 09:39:46 AMThe simplest way is for users who want personal notes to turn on Settings > Account Sync > Personal Sync > Notes. Then a Personal Notes field will appear for them on the song edit page.
If you want more structure or want to share a note among multiple users, you can go to Repertoire > Custom Fields and add custom fields and assign them to any combination of users.

Repertoire Help / Song Notes / Setlists
Last post by markpeegray - September 08, 2025, 08:10:13 AMWe use bandhelper and love it!
Is there a way to have notes related to a song that are user based? Like the singer wants to have the first line, but others want other things (like Drop D, or effects pedals, etc).

Repertoire Help / Feature request for duplicate ...
Last post by leftbas65 - September 07, 2025, 08:16:44 PMHey, dev team. I have a request for better filtering of duplicate songs. Currently, it looks like the code is only searching for song titles, but I'd like to ask that it also filter on artist, as well. For instance, I have four versions of the song Fire (Pointer Sisters, Bruce Springsteen, Ohio Players and Jimi Hendrix Experience), but they're all different songs. Whenever I search for duplicates, songs like this keep showing up, which makes it a little more challenging to see actual duplicates by the same title and artist.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Other Help / Re: Turn off all tips
Last post by arlo - September 07, 2025, 08:03:02 PMAre you clicking "got it" at the end of the tip text? There are about five tips total, and they won't appear again after you click "got it."

Other Help / Re: Turn off all tips
Last post by Daddyg - September 07, 2025, 11:53:28 AMLike Troutstudio, love the app. Using an iPad 12, running SLM 18.6. Tried "running through the app functions" to prevent tips from running every time I touch the screen. Though not exactly sure what that means, I've gone though all of the "Settings" in the db with no luck. I've tried to toggle Show/Hide hint icons & reset help tips. No luck. The databases have been exported from my working iPad 3, running 6.0.7. Any other recommendations?

MIDI Help / Connect Bandhelper to Plethora...
Last post by ksherwood - September 06, 2025, 10:55:20 PMHi!
I am wanting to connect Bandhelper to my TC Electronic Plethora x5, so that I can basically change boards per song selected on Bandhelper. Ideally I can select a song on bandhelper and via MIDI my plethora will change to the board I need for that particular song.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
Cheers
