Repertoire Help / Re: Order of ticked off songs ...
Last post by ChrisMikolaj - September 27, 2025, 04:27:21 PMNo, it's not the number of songs. But if we're preparing a certain set of songs for the gig and creating the setlist on the fly, it would be cooler to not have the FULL set of ALL songs we have in the project, but only the ones we prepared on a certain setlist or smartlist.
Especially the randomizer function is great to catch a song from that list rather from ALL songs.
I hope that makes more sense.

Repertoire Help / Re: BandHelper/BeatBuddy midi ...
Last post by pingber - September 26, 2025, 03:22:28 PMFound the issue... somehow, the updates may have "upset" the network settings on the iPads. Doing a reset on both iPads cleared up all of the issues.
By the way, my iPad Air2 with the slow response is from 2014 and runs 15.8.5. Can't update anymore.
I do appreciate your help on this. I stumbled into the solution while fixing an AppleWatch issue for the wife.

Repertoire Help / Re: BandHelper/BeatBuddy midi ...
Last post by arlo - September 26, 2025, 01:59:12 PMCan you quantify "slow"? I'm looking at the current app version on a 2017 iPad Pro with iOS 17 and a 2024 iPad Air 5 with iOS 26 and I'm not noticing any difference from previous app versions.
I haven't heard of any MIDI issues, but looking at the activity log to check what BandHelper is sending is a good idea.
I imagine the loose cable issue described by davelson would cause the BeatBuddy to not respond to messages, but I can only imagine that affecting BandHelper if it somehow created a loop that redirected a lot of MIDI data back into BandHelper.

Last post by davelson - September 26, 2025, 07:10:19 AMI have had similar problems with beatbuddy becoming unresponsive or not selecting the right song despite correct midi being sent...
I found that the midi adapter cable supplied with the bb was coming loose when attached to the midi input socket on the bb.... This was happening more frequently - to the point where I ended up melting hot glue around the connection to keep it in place... this completely resolved my problem. This may be your issue...
Next step for me is to install some 1/8" stereo sockets wired to the midi inside the bb... Never understood why Singularity Sound used such a flimsy connection....

Repertoire Help / BandHelper/BeatBuddy midi issu...
Last post by pingber - September 25, 2025, 04:46:28 PMI'm running two different iPads, a Pro running iOS 26 and an old air2 running 15.8.5, both updated three days ago. Previously, BandHelper integration to BeatBuddy was great, in fact rock solid for years (I was an early BeatBuddy adopter). But now, after these updates, selecting a song on BandHelper gives unpredictable results. First, even the song selection process on BandHelper has become slow. Highlighting of selection is slow as is button highlighting when pressed. The BeatBuddy sometimes will respond correctly for the first 2-3 songs, then either a totally different song will come up or the pedal stops responding altogether. I've reinstalled the BandHelper on both iPads with same result. I've tried a different midi controller (I use a Yamaha md01). Same result. I've ordered a different midi cable for the BeatBuddy but I don't really think it's that. I'm thinking that the next logical thing to do is to make sure that BandHelper is sending midi data (using activity log through the midi button?
I've heard that the latest iOS updates are causing some midi havoc and seem to remember something similar with iOS 14?
Any help, suggestions etc are greatly appreciated. i don't think this needs a help ticket yet.

Last post by arlo - September 25, 2025, 12:49:13 PMThe same app control settings for scrolling PDFs should also work with the built-in Lyrics field.

Repertoire Help / Foot pedal - scrolling lyrics ...
Last post by Erawal - September 25, 2025, 12:26:52 PMHello! I am brand new to using a foot pedal, and have not been able to get my bluetooth Joyo JSP-01 foot pedal to trigger a scroll of my lyrics within the Bandhelper app.
I am able to get the pedal to trigger a page turn/scroll of a PDF document that is attached to the song file within BandHelper, and to switch between songs. But most of my lyrics are not separate documents -- I use the in-app lyrics most of the time, and would like to be able to scroll them by using a foot pedal. I did try assigning the scroll action within bandhelper, but it did not seem to have any effect.
Would appreciate advice/instructions! Thank you!

Last post by arlo - September 23, 2025, 12:40:26 PMOn Sept. 13, neither iOS 26 or the latest BandHelper versions were released yet.
I don't know how iOS remembers or forgets wi-fi passwords.
Your idea about a problem with the 2.4 ghz radio sounds reasonable. I would try turning off the 2.4 ghz option on your router and see how it works to use the 5G for everything. I don't think you'll need to worry about using the live sharing and the mixer on the same system.

Last post by Insider0203 - September 23, 2025, 05:34:45 AMHi Arlo,
I did some testing at home with my own devices and I was able to reproduce the issue but inconsistently.
Any insight you can offer would be helpful. My band relies very heavily on this feature. Let me know if you need to me submit a help ticket.
