KQ Tixie vs Setlist MIDI

KQ Tixie is a 4-operator FM synthesizer for iPhone and iPad that faithfully recreates the sound and behavior of classic FM instruments from the 1980s. Experience the iconic character of vintage FM synthesis with a modern touch interface, MPE support, and AUv3 compatibility. FM synthesis generates sound mathematically rather than playing back recorded samples. 4-operator FM is not simply a smaller version of 6-operator FM. With fewer operators, sound design becomes more immediate and intuitive, making it easier to reach the sound you want without unnecessary complexity. Despite its streamlined architecture, 4-operator FM is capable of producing powerful basses, sparkling bells, rich electric pianos, cutting leads, and many of the iconic sounds that defined an era. KQ Tixie faithfully recreates the character and workflow that make 4-operator FM unique. It's not about having fewer operators—it's about a more refined design. 4-operator FM is another evolution of FM synthesis.

Setlist MIDI is the professional tool for live musicians who need reliable tempo control on stage — from MIDI pedalboards and switchers to synths, drum machines, loopers, and effects. Now you can control any MIDI device via PC or CC messages using only your phone, making your setup simpler, more portable, and more powerful. Organize your full setlist before the show and let the app handle the rest. When you tap a song during performance, MIDI Clock starts instantly at the correct BPM — keeping pedals, time-based effects, sequencers, backing tracks, and your entire MIDI rig perfectly in sync. SETLIST & SONG MANAGEMENT Create setlists with artist, venue, and date. Add songs with individual BPM, time signature, tracks, cues, and key settings. Reorder your set easily with drag and drop — ready for performance. MIDI CLOCK & GEAR INTEGRATION Send MIDI Clock (Start, Stop, Clock) to any MIDI destination — USB, Bluetooth MIDI, DIN (via interface), or virtual ports. Control pedals, effects, switchers, synths, samplers, and any MIDI-compatible device. The app automatically detects available MIDI destinations and reconnects when devices are unplugged and plugged back in. When switching songs with the clock running, BPM updates smoothly without stopping playback. TRACKS, CUES & PERFORMANCE CONTROL Play backing tracks directly from your setlist with sample-accurate sync. Use cues to guide your performance with clear visual or audio markers — perfect for transitions, entries, and structure. Everything stays locked to MIDI Clock. BUILT-IN METRONOME A precise click keeps your timing solid. Accented downbeat, soft subdivisions, and a visual pulse in sync with the audio. Independent volume control. Works with any time signature. KEY TRANSPOSITION (BETA) Instantly transpose songs to match your vocalist or instrument. Adjust keys on the fly without changing your workflow. STAGE-READY DESIGN High-contrast dark interface for low-light environments. Large controls for fast interaction. Monospaced BPM display for easy reading at a distance. AUDIO ROUTING Designed for live performance. Works with Bluetooth audio, wired headphones, and USB audio interfaces. Background audio keeps tracks, clock, and metronome running even when the screen is locked. WHO IS IT FOR Guitarists, bassists, keyboard players, drummers, and music directors who need a central place to control tempo, tracks, and MIDI — whether syncing pedals, loopers, backing tracks, or a full live rig. Fast, stable MIDI Clock control — right in your hand. — Developed by YejBand
