There is no trial version of Set List Maker. Its big brother is BandHelper and that has a 30-day free trial:

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was asking if there is a demo version of Set List Maker that I could try so I could add some presets and see if it is going to suit our needs. That single preset that sends program changes to two devices is exactly what we need.

Is the Clean Boost preset on your midi tutorial an example of a parent MIDI preset as described here?

No, that shows a single MIDI preset that can send program changes to two devices.

Is there a demo I can test with?

There's no demo data available; you would have to enter some MIDI presets yourself to test with.

Any idea if this will work?

I don't see in the product description that it says what messages it sends. This page has a list of foot switches that are confirmed to work:

Thank you for the reply.  Here is a bit more info on our setup atm.  Keyboard 1(K1)  midi channel 1, Keyboard 2(K2) midi channel 2
P for patch

So on song1 it starts with  K1 P22, K2 P88
halfway through song1 we need to hit the footswitch to go to the next pair,  K1 P66, K2 P3
in the outro we hit another pair   K1 P34, K2 P99

These songs to start won't have any lyric or chord info.    Is the Clean Boost preset on your midi tutorial an example of a parent MIDI preset as described here ?   (To send program changes, control changes or other MIDI data)  http://www.setlistmaker.com/tutorials/sending_MIDI.html
This shows Guitar Processor and Lighting System midi preset data.

Is there a demo I can test with ?  I have a midi interface and a USB mini-b adapter cable to connect it to the tablet with.  If I can get it working with the tablet, then we can get the footswitch and buy the app.

Any idea if this will work ?   https://www.amazon.com/Music-Page-Tuner-Book-Flipper/dp/B085QHX6DX#customerReviews

Thanks again !

Ah - thanks.  That wasn’t quite it but it made me realize I had to program both the push and the release in the Midi Baby software.  Working OK now.
Cheers

Yes, that's a pretty common way to use Set List Maker. Here's the tutorial on sending MIDI:

http://www.setlistmaker.com/tutorials/sending_MIDI.html

And here's the tutorial for changing songs and triggering the MIDI sends from a foot switch:

http://www.setlistmaker.com/tutorials/remote_control.html

Note that you can create MIDI presets that send program changes to both keyboards; or if you do a lot of mixing and matching, you can create MIDI presets that send one program change to one keyboard, then create parent MIDI presets and attach two program change presets to them in various combinations. But if all you're sending is simple program changes, the second option is probably more complicated than you'd need.

It sounds like you actually have a latching switch, and you need to change Settings > Remote Control > MIDI Button Style to Latch.

Repertoire Help / Tempo start/stop remote control

« Last post by treceveu on October 20, 2021, 10:26:39 PM »

I’m trying to use a Midi Baby, a programmable MIDI momentary switch made by Disaster Area Designs, to remote start/stop the tempo in BandHelper.  I have the Midi Baby action selected as ‘toggle clock’. It sort of works, but it takes two pushes of the switch to cause an action.  For example:
1st push - no action
2nd push - tempo icon in BH starts to flash
3rd push - no action.  Tempo icon continues to flash
4th push - tempo icon stops flashing.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong?  Thanks.

This one is for my piano player friend. He has two keyboards and uses different patches at the same time. Like patch 1 on keyboard one and patch 26 on keyboard two.

Then he wants to change this PAIR to patch 7 on keyboard one and patch 26 on keyboard two.

It would be nice if there was an Android app that he could run in his tablet where he could have all of these patch PAIRS displayed for a song.  Maybe a song would use three or four of these pairs per song.

Then he could have a tablet on stage with him that shows all of the songs and then he could drag them into the order of tonight's setlist. And then step through them with a foot switch.

Do any of you fine people know that this is possible with set list maker and if so how would it work and could a tie to a foot switch?
