Created by musicians, for musicians, LiveSet solves common challenges encountered during concert preparation, rehearsals, and live performances. With its lightweight and intuitive interface, performers can quickly prepare simple scores/chords charts with textual, melodic or rhythmic elements/lyrics, import sheet music or lyrics from other apps, annotate them, let LiveSet play them so you can rehearse along with the groove, organize everything into setlists and finally use it on stage with the dedicated “showtime” mode. Key features: - Flexible and simple scores/lyrics edition – Easy to use but with a lot of features to adapt the layout and presentation, LiveSet makes it as simple as possible to quickly write and share scores/lyrics with all required structural information – while keeping it personalized for every user (personal choice of font, naming conventions for the chords, Nashville notation, usage of colors etc). - Preparation of scores/lyrics during rehearsals – With the manual/pencil annotations, YouTube or audio files synchronization for reference, instant transposition (including the precise enharmonic choices) - and applying pitch shifting to the audio files, import of sheet music or lyrics made by other apps or from public libraries, compilation of setlists that can easily be timed, shared or cloned, LiveSet makes preparing for the next gig a breeze. - Organize your songs and set lists : use tags to classify your songs so that it gets easy to create a set list. Add interludes on your set lists to include more information, pauses etc. Copy/paste your set lists as text (e.g. if you get them in a mail/message) - LiveSet will match them with the songs in your library. - Play your scores to practice in any style, with our integrated and growing grooves collection, or create your own groove easily directly adapted to your songs! Dynamically adapt the tempo or loop on specific parts. - Record samples of audio directly from the app : now you have no more excuse to have forgotten how the band finishes this song! - Quick reference tools – An integrated chord library (piano and guitar) allows musicians to quickly check chord diagrams by simply tapping on them. Additionally, users can sync a YouTube video with a score, making it incredibly convenient to listen to specific parts of a song while practicing, or scrolling the lyrics at the varying right speed depending on the place in the song. - Cloud storage, publishing and sharing – The scores and set lists can be stored in the cloud so that they can be accessed and synchronized across multiple devices. A public library is also available for sharing scores publicly - and importing them! - Support of Bluetooth page turners, allowing to go to next/previous page with free hands, using an external pedal.
