## What is Downbeat4?

DownBeat is the all-in-one band management app built for working musicians. Whether you're running rehearsals, building setlists for Saturday night, or controlling your gear on stage — DownBeat keeps everything organized and in sync.

Songs & Setlists
Build your repertoire with key, BPM, and time signature for every song. Organize songs into setlists with multiple sets, drag-to-reorder, and automatic set duration tracking.

Shows & Practices
Schedule shows and practices with venue details, setlist assignments, and downbeat times. Never show up unprepared.

Chord Charts
Upload and view chord charts and lead sheets right from the setlist. Full-screen performance mode with pinch-to-zoom and page annotations.

MIDI Control
Define MIDI devices, program changes, and control messages. Assign presets to songs so your gear switches automatically during performance.

AI Song Assistant
Look up any song's key, BPM, and time signature instantly. Powered by AI, the built-in chat helps you find song details and add them to your repertoire in seconds.

Band Collaboration
Invite band members, assign roles, and keep everyone on the same page. Changes sync in real time across all devices.

Works Offline
DownBeat works without an internet connection on mobile. Your songs, setlists, and charts are always available — even backstage with no signal.

Subscription Plans
DownBeat offers auto-renewable subscriptions: Band, Band+, Pro, and Business — available monthly or annually. See the app for current pricing. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
