I just submitted a ticket for the second issue.

For the first issue, it seems to have resolved itself. I saw there was a new minor update released today. Without thinking, I updated to the new version without testing the issues first. Animations now seem to be back to normal in the new version but the second issue still persists. I attached a video in the ticket to show what's happening.

Repertoire Help / Small bugs/quirks in latest ve...

Last post by Insider0203 - October 24, 2025, 10:41:30 PM

Hi Arlo,

I used the new version tonight at a gig. The new chat was great. However, I encountered a couple of bugs or odd changes.

1. The animation when changing songs is now incredibly slow when changing songs with an external pedal/button. It doesn't seem like it's lag, rather just a slower animation. This prompted me to turn off the animation all together in the advanced settings.

2. I frequently switch from Bandhelper to a monitor mixing app. When I switch back to Bandhelper, it tries to connect to the internet and sync. However, since I'm not the internet, I get a sync error. On previous versions, this would only happen one time and would go away after I dismiss it. Now I'm getting them every time I leave and go back to the app.

Yes, you can map your foot switch buttons to the Next MIDI Preset and Previous MIDI Preset app control actions:

MIDI Help / Re: App Control- Setup iRig Bl...

Last post by Fretzkey1 - October 23, 2025, 11:51:04 AM

Arlo, thank you for your response. I want to utilize the blue turn to step through midi presets within a song. I can transmit the midi presets to my keyboard when the song loads, or if I have multiple patches I can set them to change at a specified interval. My desire is to be in a song that has multiple midi presets stored within, and have the ability to begin with soft piano, then use my footswitch to move up to the 'screaming keyboard solo', then end on a bell pad patch. Is this even possible? Or is there another way to trigger different patches but not be tied to a click track or a midi file?

You're posting in the MIDI forum but the iRig BlueTurn is not a MIDI device, so you would not connect it within the app. You would connect it in the device's Settings app on the Bluetooth page.

Thanks for responding to each one! And sorry for some of the repeat requests. This was just my running log of ideas

Are you asking for a way to remove multiple songs from a set list at once?

Yes, in the app at least.

This seems counterintuitive. Why would you want to quick add a song to the start of the set list? Then you would have to scroll back to your original position to resume playing your set list.

In situations where you'd want to do a different song as an opener, which I feel is pretty common. A lot of the friction I experience with the app is what you can/can't do with and without an internet connection and when live sharing. It's a common occurrence for a band to be on stage, have the iPads connected for live sharing (without an internet connection) and then change the opening song. It just seems like an odd oversight or omission that you can't just highlight the first set banner in the song list and add a song after even though you can with any other set.

I think an additional prompt to select the song you want to add songs after wouldn't be a time saver compared to the current methods of arranging songs. It would also be annoying to get the prompt every time if you don't want to use it, or cluttering and distracting to add it as a second option alongside the normal Add Songs option. Are you aware that you can click the options button (three dots) for a song and then select a song to move it after?

I actually didn't know that! That's great. However, the way I was envisioning it wouldn't necessarily be an additional prompt, it would just be another option in the three dot menu. Tap the three dots on the song, press the option "add song after" and you choose what song from your whole repertoire. However, "move song after" works just as well. To me, it just seems a little more intuitive to go to the spot where you know you want to add a song and then choose the song as apposed to adding the song first and then moving it after. Either way, it's great that you can do this.

In what situation would that be useful? MIDI presets are designed to be able to send to multiple devices, so in many cases a MIDI Device filter wouldn't have any effect.

I guess this also depends on the individual user' workflow. For me, I use a Fractal FM9 for my guitar and I have all its core midi commands saved as presets in Bandhelper. There are individual CC's to change scenes, turn on/off individual effects etc. Rather than making individual presets for every song on my FM9 (we do A LOT songs and it would be extremely inefficient to do that), I piece together to core functions as needed in band helper using the "send additional presets" option. So I end up getting lots of nested presets within presets and it becomes a little unwieldy. This is why I also requested the batch Midi feature so I can just make nested presets on a per-song basis. I'm open to the idea that maybe I don't have the most optimal workflow so I'm open to other suggestions

You can also roll back edits in the apps, from the Settings > Account Sync > History button. The Lyrics and Chords fields have undo and redo buttons. Please provide more detail about a situation in which you wanted to have undo and redo buttons in the toolbar.

I'm thinking of situations where you change the order of a setlist or change a layout. How does the account sync history button work without an internet connection?

f we did that, we wouldn't have a way to also enter settings for sets like Exclude From Total Duration. Are you aware that you can create a set name from the Choose Set Name popup?

I am aware of that, it just becomes a lot of taps to do something which seems relatively simple.

You can click the BandHelper logo to go to the home page.

That takes you to the bandhelper main page, not the user's account homepage. I guess what I'm asking is that there be more of a user homepage, similar to the app when you open it.

I think it's common enough to pick up where you left off using the site last time that it's worth reloading the last page automatically. I haven't received other reports of confusion about what page you're looking at.

Ok fair enough.

I used to hear of confusion about the filters being remembered, but I haven't heard of that since I added the "x of x" counts to all the list pages. Have you seen that this is confusing to users? I haven't seen that.

I can only describe what I see with my bandmates, but that's what they have experienced. That's why I think a simple home button like I described above to clear any previous searches would go a long way.


Again, thanks for taking the time to address all these. I'm looking forward to all the updates you have in store!

Also, the friction I experience with the app is minimal and is overshadowed by just how amazingly flexible it is, so I'm really just nitpicking minor things. You taking the time to discuss all these relatively minor things is really encouraging. Thanks again

MIDI Help / App Control- Setup iRig BlueTu...

Last post by Fretzkey1 - October 23, 2025, 05:59:14 AM

My iPad currently works fine with my iRig BlueTurn but I can't seem to connect it within BandHelper. The App control screen shows other bluetooth devices that perform the same function.Attachment is awaiting approval..I looked at the information on the forum for some of the other iRig products but it is somewhat dated. I need this to work, is the recommendation to purchase one of the units that are currently supported?
