What are BandHelper and Set List Maker

BandHelper and Set List Maker (both by Arlomedia) are popular tablet en smartphone apps for musicians.

MIDI is supported so they let you set and receive tempo, switch presets and so on.

Making the app respond to incoming MIDI

To make the app respond 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.

Transmitting MIDI from the app

To make the app send a MIDI Program Changes with a song to a Fractal Audio device or MIDI controller, first create a MIDI Preset for each song in the app. In the Channel field of the MIDI preset:

  • Enter 0 for MSB Bank number
  • Enter the LSB Bank number (one digit)
  • Enter the Program Number (without preceding zero).

There's no need to setup a specific MIDI device in the app. But make sure the connected devices use the same MIDI channel.

Now attach the MIDI preset to the song.

Edit the Layout details to make the app send the MIDI preset automatically when selecting a song.
