What are BandHelper and Set List Maker
BandHelper and Set List Maker (both by Arlomedia) are popular tablet/smartphone apps for musicians.
MIDI is supported to set and receive tempo, switch presets and so on.
Configuring MIDI: app to hardware
To make the app transmit MIDI Program Changes to a Fractal Audio device or MIDI controller with songs:
- Create a MIDI Preset for each song in the app. In the Channel field of the MIDI preset:
- Enter 0 in Bank MSB
- Enter the bank number in Bank LSB (single digit)
- Enter the Program Number in the 3rd field (without preceding zero).
- Make sure to enter the data in the correct channel (connected devices must use the same MIDI channel. There's no need to set up a specific MIDI device in the app.
- Attach the MIDI preset to the song.
You need to do this for each song!
Edit the Layouts > Details > Actions to make the app send the MIDI preset automatically when selecting a song.
Configuring MIDI: hardware to app
To make the app listen to incoming MIDI Program Changes from a Fractal Audio device or MIDI controller, edit the details of each song in the app like this:
- Enter the MSB Bank number (one digit)
- Enter 0 for LSB Bank number
- Enter the Program Number (without preceding zero).
Make sure the connected devices use the same MIDI channel.
