What’s New

Version 2024-04-13

* Added the ability to pin documents, recordings or MIDI presets to breaks or pauses using the Pinned to All Breaks and Pinned to All Pauses settings on the respective edit pages. To see buttons for the pinned items on the break or pause pages, you can turn on Settings > Advanced > Show Song Buttons on Breaks and Pauses. You can also call the pinned items from app control actions. When you pin documents to a break or pause, the break or pause name and details will appear initially, but you can use the document button or the next/previous document hot spots to view the documents. You can also display the break or pause name and details on the main screen and the pinned document on an external screen using Settings > General > External Display > Content > Doc +1. The Pinned filter on the Documents, Recordings and MIDI Presets lists will show items pinned to songs, breaks or pauses.

* Added a count off function to automatically start a recording or trigger other functions after some tempo clicks or flashes. This functionality was previously only available by creating an automation track for each song. To use this new approach, you can set Settings > App Control > Actions > Count Off to a trigger like Layout Actions > Song Selection, then set the actions you want to trigger to Layout Actions > Count Off Completion. Then set Settings > Tempo & Pitch > Tempo Options > Count Off Bars to the desired length, and make sure you have entered tempos for your songs. If you are starting recordings from a count off and a recording doesn't start on the downbeat, you can edit the recording and set the Pickup Length so the recording starts at the correct time before the downbeat.

• Fixed a problem where sliders on the Settings pages didn't save unless something else on the page was changed.

• Removed an extra row of labels from the first page of a shared set list.

• Fixed a problem where the Copy To Clipboard button on the Share Set List page became inactive after changing the output settings.

Best App for solo muso ever.

I’ve been a full time pro soloist for 20 years and this app has revolutionised the efficiency in which I can perform. From auto scrolling lyrics, to choosing songs on the fly with an index, to instantly selecting one of 500 presets instantly on my chosen ‘Do it all’ VL3X. Of course there have been glitches but Arlo is constantly improving and for me, this works seamlessly and has not crashed in a year of performing approx 4 times per week on iPad and iPhone. Incredibly customisable. Absolutely brilliant. Can not imagine gigging without this now.

The Best Musician/Band App

I had been using the standalone version of this app “SetList Maker” for many years; and prior to that tested a number of apps, finally settling on what I found to be the best.
I migrated to the BandHelper app to take advantage of the wider features and multi-device synchronisation. This app has streamlined the whole repertoire management for me. I am a session musician, playing for a number of artists and bands and I manage all details in this one easy to use application.

Set List Maker on steroids!!

I’d been using Arlo’s “Set List Maker” for years. I thought it was the greatest and most useful music tool ever till he put me onto “Bandhelper”. I’m no longer nervous about losing everything! Will always be there online and totally up-to-date. It’s the start of a new era for me and so far, I’m only using a fraction of what the App can do. I’m telling every muso I know. Thanks Arlo!
