Repertoire Help / Feature Request: Checkbox in S...
Last post by drthunderbutt - July 21, 2026, 08:54:44 PMHaving a way to flag a song with some variant of "Is Ready" or "Needs Work" would be super helpful. We could then more easily identify songs that are Active but still need more work before they're ready to play out.
The main utility case, for me, would be that I could easily create a Smart List of songs before rehearsal so we could use rehearsal time more effectively. We wouldn't have to sit there in the rehearsal space and mentally re-interrogate our entire (100+) song list to try to remember whether any of us had flagged a song as needing some work. By centralizing, we could really focus every rehearsal itinerary before we met up. This would also optimize our at-home practice efforts by not relying on memory or ad hoc to-do notes of everybody's homework.
It would also be a helpful peacekeeper by saving us a lot of energy/time renegotiating whether we feel a song is ready every time we look at our list. When we all feel it's ready, we mark it, and that's that. Next!
Worst-case scenario is, we have a song that is Active, we forget that it needs work, we put it on a set list anyway, and then when we play it out and crash and burn.

MIDI Help / Re: Wireless controll of the W...
Last post by arlo - July 21, 2026, 07:34:53 PMMaybe someone else will respond who has experience with these particular products, but this isn't really a question about Set List Maker. I would ask Wolfmix about USB compatibility, and look for a forum that discusses MIDI more generally, and read some product reviews, to learn about the reliability of those wireless interfaces.

MIDI Help / Re: Wireless controll of the W...
Last post by Lange - July 21, 2026, 12:15:10 PMThanks, Arlo, for your input and answers.
It's a shame there are no responses from SLM users with practical experience using it in combination with the Wolfmix.
Especially when you perform live regularly, you want to be able to rely on the gear you bring along. Naturally, that also applies to the wireless MIDI control of the Wolfmix via Set List Maker. I had hoped for concrete feedback from users regarding the specific tools they use and how reliable the setup is on stage—particularly concerning issues like interference. But it is what it is. You did your best, Arlo. Thanks again for your effort!
Greetings.

MIDI Help / Re: Wireless controll of the W...
Last post by arlo - July 21, 2026, 08:13:40 AMOkay, so your question is how to send MIDI wirelessly to a device that only has a USB port? Here are some options:
https://www.cme-pro.com/product/widi-bud-pro/
https://www.roland.com/us/products/wm-1d/
https://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical_instruments/pianos/accessories/ud-bt01/index.html
You could check with Wolfmix to confirm compatibility before buying.

MIDI Help / Re: Wireless controll of the W...
Last post by Lange - July 20, 2026, 10:01:29 AMI lack sufficient (technical) knowledge to determine how to control the Wolfmix via MIDI from Set List Maker. Therefore, I searched online and also asked AI. Here is the information:
'No, you cannot control the Wolfmix W1 Mk3 wirelessly directly via the Yamaha MD-BT01.The Yamaha MD-BT01 relies entirely on traditional 5-pin DIN MIDI ports. However, the Wolfmix W1 Mk3 does not feature these ports. It only supports MIDI over USB.To get wireless MIDI control working on your Wolfmix, you will need alternative hardware. Wireless Alternatives for Wolfmix W1 Mk3CME WIDI Uhost: This is currently the most popular and reliable option for USB-only hardware. You plug the WIDI Uhost directly into the Wolfmix USB-A host port via a USB cable. It adds instant Bluetooth MIDI connectivity to the controller.Yamaha UD-BT01: If you want to stick with Yamaha, you need the UD-BT01 model instead of the MD version. The UD version is specifically designed for USB connections and can plug into the Wolfmix USB host port. External USB MIDI Host: If you absolutely must use the Yamaha MD-BT01, you would have to plug it into a standalone USB MIDI Host box (like those made by Kenton or CME). You would then run a USB cable from that box into the Wolfmix. However, this adds extra bulk and cables to your setup.'
I have read through the information several times, but it doesn't give me enough clarity. Due to my health, I struggle to interpret this kind of information. It isn't concrete enough for me—hence my original request for specific brand etc. I'm sorry.

MIDI Help / Re: Wireless controll of the W...
Last post by arlo - July 20, 2026, 09:03:30 AMIt sounds like you're using a Yamaha MD-BT01 for a different device; is there a reason you wouldn't get another Yamaha MD-BT01 for this device?

MIDI Help / Re: Wireless controll of the W...
Last post by Lange - July 19, 2026, 02:36:34 AMThank you Arlo for your reply.
The Wolfmix has no built-in Bluetooth, so a direct wireless connection to an iPad via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is not possible.
Here's some info I found about this subject:
"It can become a bit "complex" to remote control Wolfmix wireless. Wolfmix itself has no communication protocols imbedded (beside MIDI), that is why we use WTOOLS as the "communication link" between a network (Cloud) and the device. WTOOLS also has no "remote control" APIs for Wolfmix you could possibly use. And "mobile" DMX apps (phone/tablet) need to have a DMX Interface where you send your data to, but then it is not programmable to mimic the Wolfmix user interface. So WTOOLS and mobile control is out of reach for that use.
As Wolfmix is a Live DMX controller, all activity is triggered from the Wolfmix itself. But in 2 instances it can receive DMX data and control certain functions: by MIDI for Dimmer control & Preset selection and also as DMX IN (WLINK) for coarse (individual) channel value manipulation - not really selecting pattern in ColorFX though. But I can think of "wireless-MIDI" as well as "wireless-DMX" solutions to be put in between a MIDI or DMX controller and the Wolfmix, to get the options mentioned above - but not full Wolfmix control.
I also like to emphasize the fact, that all wireless solutions are based on crowded and overpopulated 2.4Ghz networks, so frequent disconnects will be part of the remote experience."
I would like to use Set List Maker for controling Wolfmix the same way it does with my pedalboard. So when I switch to another song, Set List Maker automatically sends a MIDI-signal to Wolfmix and my pedalboard for a pre-programmed preset. I've asked AI for a possible solution and it gave some options. However, because I have insufficient knowledge of this subject matter, I cannot judge whether the information is correct and which brand/type of device(s) I would actually need to purchase to get it working on stage.

MIDI Help / Wireless controll of the Wolfm...
Last post by Lange - July 18, 2026, 11:48:59 AMHello Set List Maker enthousiasts.
I am a guitarist/singer in a hobby cover band.
On my iPad, I use Set List Maker for lyrics and for wireless Bluetooth control (via the Yamaha MD-BT01) of my pedalboard via MIDI. I'm very satisfied with it!
I just purchased a Wolfmix W1 Mk3 and would also like to control it wirelessly via MIDI. I have read that wireless control of the Wolfmix cannot be done in the same way as with my pedalboard via the Yamaha MD-Bt01.
Is there anyone who has experience with wireless control of the Wolfmix via Set List Maker on a iPad and can give me tips on how best to do this? In particular I'd like to hear which system/brand/model of the wireless system you use, and is it reliable at live gigs with the other wireless stuff on stage)?
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Roel (The Netherlands, Europe)

Last post by arlo - July 18, 2026, 05:51:04 AMSimply checking off the fields you want to show wouldn't give you the ability to size or format the text display.
I think it's best to use the existing layout functionality. The standard Big Fields layout and the newly revamped Full-Screen Lyrics layout show several song fields next to the songs list. Or if someone only wants to see the title, they remove all the fields except the title field. The document viewer only appears if you show it, so if you don't want to see the document viewer for songs that have lyrics, you don't have to do anything with that.
