Superb / great tool on stage / excellent service
I am using the Set List Maker app with an iPad hooked up to an Alesis IO Docking Station. Since its initial release it has become my central tool on stage to manage my various set lists, to control the audio and click tracks, to send MIDI data, display the lyrics and all other information required "behind the scene".
What is really superb is the possibility to combine MIDI presets with MIDI raw data. By this, my keyboards are being set up exactly the way I need them before starting with the next title (i. e. initializing the right voices, setting the modulation wheels level to the desired value while simultaneously lowering the expression pedal, so the strings wont overlay the epiano during the intro).
And I love to run the apps audio output through the monitor speakers, so our drummer can pick up the exact beat by listening to the first strokes of the click track.
And theres even another feature (not valid for iPad 1): By using the IO Docks video out cinch socket our vocalists can watch the apps PDF lyrics on a 42" teleprompter being placed right between the front wedges.
And in case you are in trouble, just sent a mail to Arlo, the app developer. He will reply within 24 hours giving you the right advice. Hes a true professional and a real IT genious.
Great piece of work, great app.
