Repertoire Help / Re: Trying to use BandHelper t...

Last post by honeytownevents - February 02, 2026, 07:51:14 PM

Thanks Arlo.

Does that mean I need a preset for every patch?

Hey hopefully you've got this sorted at this point but if not im happy to help! Ive got my SPD-SX Pro fully mapped and automated to follow the song selection on the bandhelper setlist

basically you need three fundamental things on bandhelper for this to work.

Midi device -  SPD-SX - Default ch.10  confirm if youre in 0-127 or 1-128 mode.

Midi Presets - Every single SPD-SX "kit"/bandhelper song will need its own midi preset and program change numbers entered.
SPD-SX midi program changes all begin with 32 in box 1, box two is 0 for the first 0-127 kits but however needs to be a 1 instead for kits 128-200. Box 3 is the kit number    personal examples: 32-0-000 equals kit 1, And 32-1-0 = kit 129

The preset then has to be assigned to a song in bandhelper so its a good idea to save the preset by song name so its easy to find in the midi/preset menu

From there you will have to make a couple changes in the settings menu on the device you're using so that the change happens upon song selection but you can test each preset for functionality by tapping the midi icon next to the preset name.

Repertoire Help / Resize "pause" texts & auto-sc...

Last post by honeytownevents - February 02, 2026, 07:29:44 PM

Is there any way to resize pauses so they display larger?   

It would also be great if there was a way that you could automate these pause starts without using the "auto-scoll song list" feature as I wish to keep that disabled for my use case.  so i guess im looking for a "auto scroll pauses" so it starts after the previous song.

Resizing the pause details text is on my wish list and I'll add a vote for you. In the meantime, you could just set up some songs to use as pauses and put the text into the Lyrics field.

found this comment in the search. We switched from Ipads on stands to lyric prompters and my Vocalists & Emcees are having a very difficult time reading the Pause text infomation. Any updates or possible estimate when we may see this as well as selecting an auto-scroll function for the pauses independently from the "auto scroll song list" would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Users with only Added Data access can enter personal notes if they turn on Settings > Account Sync > Personal Sync > Notes. They would need All Data access to enter shared notes to songs they didn't add.

Repertoire Help / Notes question

Last post by imfinlay - February 02, 2026, 11:46:48 AM

Hi, I have a bunch of songs with lyrics, and now our drummer wants to add his own notes. I had to give him the "all data" role so he could edit his own notes. Is that right?

You have income, expenses, savings and earnings. Earnings are income minus expenses and savings. So think of your bandmates as earning £100 each, then contributing £5 for expenses and £5 for savings. That's three transactions and will leave each bandmate with earnings of £90.

I can update the invoices to use a localized date format.

You cannot add a logo to invoices. That's on my wish list and I'll add a vote for you.

You cannot customize the invoice number. Currently they are randomly generated. What would you want to change it to?

You cannot add a currency symbol to the amount. Would you ever use more than one type of currency per account?

To use the Personal Notes field, users will have to turn on Settings > Account Sync > Personal Sync > Notes.

If you have only given the users Added Data editing access, they will not be able to edit shared fields but they will be able to edit their personal fields.

1. To send MIDI data in sync with a recording, you should attach the MIDI file to the recording. You do not need a SoundFont in this situation because the MIDI file is not generating sound.

2. You also submitted a help ticket about this, and we determined that BandHelper is sending Note On/Off messages but something else is converting the Note Off messages to Note On with a velocity of 0. That shouldn't matter because MIDI apps and devices should respond the same way to both, but the Light Rider app apparently doesn't.
