Version 2 released!!! Now with Wi-FI Audio Stems and CueStems! CueTracks Player is a purpose-built performance player for musicians, music directors, and live production teams. Load any music file and let us do the rest. Any music file can be imported and automatically processed by our cloud or on your own device. See synced chords, lyrics, song sections, waveforms, bar numbers, and drum patterns. Broadcast to Pro-Presenter, Resolume, OSC, MIDI (including future notes and custom and AI generated CC's) β€” all decoded from data embedded directly in the video and all editable after the AI generation. Control it with MIDI Learn and your fav controller. PLAY WITH FULL MUSICAL CONTEXT See everything you need at a glance: chord charts, lyrics, section markers, waveform energy, and drum patterns β€” all perfectly synced to your video playback. Toggle layers on or off to suit your role. Jump back 16 beats for an extra chorus and everyone stays in sync! BROADCAST TO YOUR TEAM Turn your device into a broadcast hub. Band members and production crew connect via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and see the same synced musical data on their own devices using the CueTracks Follower app β€” no internet required. MIDI OUTPUT FOR YOUR RIG Send precomputed MIDI notes and CCs to external gear, DAWs, or lighting controllers. Enable MIDI clock output (24 PPQN) for rock-solid sync. MIDI Control IN. Use MIDI Learn for hands-free control during a live show. Use your foot pedal to launch tracks, control the volume of stems, or to jump 16 beats ahead and more! SECOND SCREEN & EXTERNAL DISPLAY Output to a second screen via AirPlay, HDMI, or a separate desktop window. Use Lyrics Pro mode as a full-screen teleprompter for vocalists or presenters. PRO INTEGRATIONS Connect to ProPresenter for lyrics projection, Resolume for visual control, or send OSC messages to any compatible system in your production workflow. PRO SOUNDING Click/Cues channel without user volume control. Tasteful delay FX transitions and "Beat Jump" to make your "on the fly" decisions sound polished and planned. Beat jump keeps all subsequent devices in-time (lyrics and chords etc, if you decide to do an extra chorus) and is fully midi-mappable for hands-on show control. OFFLINE & SECURE Register once, then play anywhere β€” no internet needed during performance. Your content is protected with ChaCha20 encryption, decoded on-device from CueCode data embedded in each video frame.
