Set Clock

Features
Read full description

Set Clock combines your setlist with a clock and a metronome. For every song you enter its length, tempo and time signature. At the gig, the stage view shows the time left in the song, and the metronome switches to the new tempo with every song change. • Setlist with song lengths to the second, tempo and time signature. You can also tap the tempo in • Stage view with the time left in the song and whether the set is ahead of or behind schedule • Metronome with eighths, triplets, sixteenths, quintuplets, sextuplets and swing, sample-accurate • Bars of 1 to 16 beats over 2, 4, 8 or 16, odd metres in their usual groupings (7/8 as 2+2+3). Every beat can be accented, softened or muted • Separate sounds for click and accent, each with its own pitch: stick, wood, beep, cowbell, hi-hat • Song structure as a moving bar: intro, verse, chorus, counted in bars • One tap moves on to the next song. All other controls are hidden during the gig • Pause for announcements: clocks and click stop, and the break does not count as being late • If the iPhone restarts during the gig, the set continues in the right song once you open the app • Share the setlist as text, for example in the band chat • Dark backgrounds and a brightness below the iOS minimum. The click plays alongside backing tracks from other apps Free: one set with all features. One-time purchase "All Your Sets": as many sets as you like, and duplicating sets. No account, no ads, no tracking, no subscription. Works without an internet connection.
