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:

  1. 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).
  1. 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.
  2. 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.

Apps from other companies/developers, such as OnSong, operate in the same way.
