Setlistory makes gigging easy! An application designed with the gigging musician in mind. It lets you create, edit, manage and export setlists for your past and upcoming gigs. Once you create your account and log in, you input all your songs with their information (title, type, length, key, authors, bpm, lyrics,...) and then you can start creating your setlists. Each setlist is defined by the venue, city, date (and optional comment). The venue field is an ever growing database of giggable venues. Songs are then added to the setlist and ordered via a simple drag and drop interface. There is a comment section for each song available; they are sound engineer comments, lighting comments and roadie comments. Features: โ€ข PDF export - the setlist can be exported to a ready-to-print format (you can optionally show BPM and key) โ€ข Excel export - export the essential data to a xlsx format โ€ข Export to forms - some countries have mandatory forms which need to be filled out (like SAZAS forms in Slovenia) - Setlistory fills them out automatically โ€ข PDF export of sound, lighting and roadie comments which you can hand out to the staff members at your gig โ€ข QR code - used in conjunction with the Setlistory Crew application โ€ข Lyrics - redirects to Setlistory Lyrics web application The mobile application is also available as a web application on: https://app.setlistory.com We would love to get your feedback!

Find the key. Tune the note. Keep the result. PulseKey brings musical key analysis and instrument tuning together on your iPhone. Listen through the microphone or import an audio file. Audio analysis happens on your device, with no account required. KEY ANALYSIS Estimate major and minor keys from music around you or imported audio. See the relative key, Camelot and Open Key notation, scale notes, diatonic chords, and compatible mixing keys. A harmonic profile shows the pitch classes contributing to the result. INSTRUMENT TUNER See note, frequency, and cents while you tune. Use automatic targeting or lock a target note. Choose an instrument preset or create a custom tuning. Adjust the A4 reference from 415 to 466 Hz, play a reference tone, and follow the pitch trace. AUDIO WORKSPACE Import audio, analyze a selected region, and inspect estimated keys across six-second windows. Loop a section while working through it. YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY Save measurements with titles and notes. Keep custom tunings ready for your next session. Saved analyses retain results, not source audio. EXPERIMENTAL DRUM TOOLS Capture sustained drum resonances after a strike, hold a reference, and compare measurements across lugs. Drum readings are experimental and may reflect an overtone rather than the fundamental. DESIGNED FOR FOCUSED LISTENING No advertising, tracking, or account setup. Microphone audio and imported files are not uploaded by PulseKey. Key and pitch readings are estimates. Results depend on the sound, microphone, room noise, and instrument. For tuning, play one clear note at a time. Complex music and inharmonic percussion can produce ambiguous results.
