PulsePilot Live

The most advanced metronome built for musicians who perform live. PulsePilot Live goes beyond basic click tracks. Build multi-section tracks for your songs — verse, chorus, bridge, solo, etc. — and let the app guide you through every transition with automatic or custom voice cues, announcing what's coming next. No more counting bars in your head. No more losing your place mid-song. No more sheet music on stage. NEW: Backing Tracks with Split Channel Output Import a backing track and sync it perfectly to your click track — one recording, running under your whole song from the very first beat. Send the click and the backing track out on separate left/right channels, so your click stays isolated in your in-ears while the track goes to the house — essential for playing live with a band. KEY FEATURES ● Smart Section Tracking Break any song into sections with different tempos, time signatures, or click patterns. PulsePilot Live automatically calls out the next section before it arrives. ● Voice Announcements Hear what's coming — "Chorus" or "Solo next" — in an automatic voice, or record your own custom cue or type it down. ● Backing Tracks, Perfectly Synced Attach a full backing track to any song and split it left/right against your click — the clean, professional way to run tracks live. Programmed in seconds! ● In-App Notes Attach reminders to each section: what to play, what to sing, what to remember. ● Stage Mode Lock your phone into distraction-free performance mode. One screen, one focus: your rhythm and what's next. ● Full Metronome — Free Forever Polyrhythms, subdivisions, custom accent sounds, Practice Ramp — the complete toolkit, free, permanently. No paywall on the basics. Free to use with the free plan. No sheet music required. Just your songs, structured your way. Download PulsePilot Live and never lose the thread of a song again.
