About

DISPO

Features
Read full description

DISPO brings together what you need to play with other musicians: find a replacement, lead your group and share your repertoire. All three are connected: each session has its line-up and setlist, and an SOS when a spot opens up. FIND A REPLACEMENT • Post an SOS with the instrument, level, date and location. • Compatible musicians see it, and each candidate has a match score based on instrument, level, availability, school, genres and repertoire. • “Why this match?” explains each criterion. View a profile, message the candidate and accept them with one tap. • Express SOS: one instrument, one evening. The first compatible musician to accept gets the spot. • Browse profiles by instrument, level, city and music school, in a list or on the map. 37 instruments, a radius of up to 1,000 km or everywhere. • DISPO alerts: save your filters and get notified when a matching musician becomes available. LEAD YOUR GROUP • One invitation link per group: your musicians join with one tap, even without a DISPO account. • Concerts, rehearsals and jams, each with attendance and a line-up. • Recurring sessions and personalized reminders. • Auto-SOS: when a member becomes unavailable, an SOS goes out for their spot. • Group messages with photos, videos and documents. • Optional synchronization with your phone calendar. SHARE YOUR REPERTOIRE • Your personal repertoire is free. Your group has its own shared repertoire. • Search the catalog for a song or artist, or add a song manually with its key and tempo. • Shared setlist: add the songs every musician in the session knows. • Export a setlist as text for WhatsApp or as a printable PDF. • Links by genre: iReal Pro and MuseScore for jazz, Songsterr and Ultimate Guitar for rock, Tomplay and IMSLP for classical, Genius for rap. • Comments with replies and reactions, a note for each solo and sheet music filed under its song. AND MORE • Rap and production: rappers, beatmakers and sound engineers have their place.
