Setlist Genius is the perfect way to easily combine great sounding pads and click track into one app. Equipped with pads in every key from our #1 App: Worship Pads Pro; you will have a brilliant sounding pad panned to the right and an accent-free click track panned to your left. Key Features: -Pads in every key from Worship Pads Pro (panned right) -Accent-free Click Track up to 300bpm (panned left) -Pads automatically crossfade in and out -When the next song is in the same key, the pad will continue and only the Click will change -6 Song Sections to input keys, bpms, and time signatures for the whole setlist How to use Setlist Genius: Put your setlist into Setlist Genius by entering the name of the song, the bpm, the key, and the time signature for each song. *Note- the bpm, key, and time signature are required to start the song. Then simply push the play button next to the song you want to start. It will fade in the pad and start the click track for that song. If you would like to pause the click track during the song without affecting the pad, you can simply click the "Click" button. This will allow you to toggle the click track on and off. When you are done with that song, you can hit the next play button to fade out the current pad and cue the next scene. When you are done with the whole set, you can hit the pause button at the bottom, which will fade out the existing pad and stop click. In performance edits are possible by editing a scene you are not currently playing in a last minute situation. I hope you enjoy Setlist Genius!
