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.

Last post by arlo - July 18, 2026, 07:03:59 PMQuoteI have read that wireless control of the Wolfmix cannot be done in the same way as with my pedalboard via the Yamaha MD-Bt01.
Do you know why not?

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)

Repertoire Help / Re: Wish: Create/customize pla...
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.

Repertoire Help / Wish: Create/customize placeho...
Last post by Insider0203 - July 17, 2026, 08:14:11 AMCurrently if there is no document or lyrics attached to a song, the document viewer will just display the title of the song as a placeholder.
I think it would be nice if the user could customize this text to show more song meta data (or nothing at all). For example, the user could check off which meta data fields would be displayed (title, artist, key, etc..) and all that info would be displayed if there is no document or lyrics attached.
I understand that you can put all this information into the layout itself but I think this would be a simpler approach for a lot of users.
Additionally, the user could choose to have this information appear as a header in the lyrics field. This would show more information in the document viewer without having to fumble with spacing the fields in the layout editor. The fields in the layout editor also have less options with text formatting, where as a header could be formatted with the lyrics.
This would also address an issue I've come across where some users would just prefer to see the placeholder instead of lyrics.
For example, if I put lyrics on a song for the lead singers, the other band members get thrown off sometimes because they're used to just seeing the title of the song song in the document viewer in our Split View layout. They'd rather just see the place holder. I can use the personal lyrics or hide the lyrics for certain users but that has its trade offs.

MIDI Help / Re: Alternate MIDI interface
Last post by arlo - July 16, 2026, 03:44:29 PMI think the only thing you'd need to change in BandHelper is the Port setting on the MIDI Device record, if it's currently set to the CME Widi. If it's set to All, then it will work with any MIDI interface.

MIDI Help / Alternate MIDI interface
Last post by richro65 - July 16, 2026, 12:39:57 PMCurrently the keyboard player is using the CME WIDI master and for the most part it works but at times it loses connection for some reason.
Anyways, she was asking about something wired. Has anyone used this device with BandHelper? Just wondering if it's as easy as plug and play or if there needs to be configuration changes.
Thanks

Repertoire Help / Re: ChordPro Import Questions
Last post by arlo - July 16, 2026, 09:56:41 AMOther than the labels within environment directives, what's missing that leads to the "very minimal" conclusion?

Last post by ChrisMikolaj - July 16, 2026, 08:33:54 AMThank you very much! I will check if that is feasible, as it will then also be longer above the lyrics and might mess up some. But it's a good workaround for now.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Repertoire Help / Re: ChordPro Import Questions
Last post by thekenner - July 16, 2026, 05:14:28 AMIt looks like ChordPro support is very minimal, which is unfortunate since all my CP files were created to be 100% compliant with the format. Importing them into BandHelper means I will have to edit every one to make them usable. You can go ahead and support for the labels to your wishlist, but I will be letting my trial subscription expire.
