Now/Next cue view — a live, color-coded screen showing the current part's cue and description, and the exact trigger expected next, so you always know what's coming.
Three-tap show launch — pick a song book, pick a song or playlist, and you're live.
Songbook or playlist mode — play straight through an ordered set list, or jump freely between songs and let performance resume from the right place.
Seamless playlist handoff — the last part of one song also accepts the first trigger of the next set-list entry, so consecutive songs can flow without a gap.
Mistake recovery gestures — swipe to manually step a part forward or back, or use previous/next controls to jump songs, without stopping the show for a missed or misfired hit.
Live MIDI confirmation — the last message actually received is always shown on screen, so you can confirm your gear and the app are in sync in real time.
Triggers — from any MIDI source
Trigger on anything MIDI — a drum or percussion strike, a custom-mapped keyboard button, a MIDI footswitch, a cue from MIDI-controlled backing tracks, or any other MIDI-capable controller.
Song-level and part-level triggers — a song or banter can be selected automatically from anywhere (e.g. one program change per tune from a footswitch), while each part inside it advances on its own dedicated trigger.
Wildcard matching — mark any field (channel, velocity, value) as "Any" so a trigger still fires even when a hit isn't perfectly consistent.
MIDI Learn — hit the real pad, button, or switch while editing a trigger and MIDIPerformer captures and fills in the message automatically, with smart wildcards when a known hardware profile is involved.
Responses — driving lights and sound
Automatic or manual responses — fire instantly when a part activates, or hold for a second, independent MIDI hit for ad-lib moments.
Delay and ramp scheduling — delay a response before it fires, and ramp a value smoothly from a start to an end point over a set duration.
Multiple response curves — Linear and S-Curve shaping for natural-feeling lighting fades.
Multiple responses per cue — send several MIDI messages (to the same or different consoles) from a single trigger.
Any MIDI message type — Note, Control Change, Program Change, Bank+Program Change, and system messages, sent to any connected destination.
USB, Bluetooth central, and Bluetooth peripheral — connect to MIDI gear directly, scan for nearby Bluetooth MIDI devices, or advertise the app itself so a lighting/sound console can connect to it.
Multi-device setup — connect and name multiple MIDI sources and destinations at once (drum module, keyboard, footswitch, lighting console, sound console…).
Per-device reception control — enable or disable listening on each connected device independently.
Bulk remote reassignment — swap a piece of gear mid-tour and remap every trigger and response from the old device to the new one, across one or all song books, in a single pass.
Built-in hardware library — bundled profiles for popular keyboards, drum modules/pads, controllers, and mixing consoles from manufacturers including Roland, Yamaha, Korg, Arturia, Alesis, Nord, Kurzweil, Dexibell, and Behringer.
Named controls — pick a trigger or response by name (e.g. "Kick", "Fader 1") instead of raw MIDI numbers, once a profile is assigned.
Custom profiles — build your own hardware profile from scratch or by copying an existing one, for gear that isn't in the library.
Song book & set list management
Songs and banters — organize both musical pieces and spoken stage-talk segments the same way, each with its own triggers and cues.
Unlimited parts per song — break any song into as many performance sections as needed (intro, verse, chorus, outro…), each with its own trigger and responses.
Color-coded organization — assign a color theme to every song and banter for instant visual recognition on stage.
Reorderable playlists — build and rearrange ordered set lists by dragging songs and banters into place.
Multiple song books — keep separate libraries for different bands, shows, or repertoires.
Testing & monitoring
Live MIDI monitor — watch the last 20 incoming messages in real time to confirm exactly what your gear is sending.
Manual message sender — build and send test Note, CC, Program Change, or Bank+Program Change messages to any destination, with sliders, on/off, and momentary "hold" controls — ideal for confirming your console reacts as expected before the show.
Sharing & backup
Export/import song books and songs — share a set list with bandmates or move it between devices.
