The click track your worship team actually wants to use. Click Set builds professional click tracks with spoken vocal cues. No DAW, no premade track library, no audio degree. Chart the song visually, hit play, and a clear voice calls "Verse 2... 3, 4" right in your ears. Your drummer locks in, your keys player hears the bridge coming, everyone lands together. NEW IN 3.0: DYNAMIC START AND DYNAMIC HOLD Speaking moments are part of worship, and now they're part of your click. Dynamic Start opens a song with a click vamp that runs while your pastor prays or your leader talks, then cues the band in on the next bar when you're ready. Dynamic Hold does the same thing mid song: finish the current section, vamp while the moment breathes, continue when it's time. Trigger either from the screen or a MIDI pedal, or drop a Hold container right into the arrangement so it happens every week without anyone remembering to press anything. The Guide's voice confirms each one in your ears. NEW: THE WEB PLAYER Publish a setlist and your whole team rehearses from a link. Any phone, any computer, nothing to install. Lock the phone and it keeps playing, with full controls and 15 second skips from the lock screen. WHY WORSHIP TEAMS USE CLICK SET • Planning Center sync (Pro): import your service plan and the songs and arrangements flow in. • 18 section types: Verse, Chorus, Bridge, Instrumental, Vamp, Build, Drop, Tag, Dynamic Hold, and more. Color coded, drag to reorder. • Spoken guide cues for every transition, with numbered variants for every section. "Instrumental 3... 3, 4." • Reference Track: load the real recording and rehearse your click and cues against it. Playback is free. • Vocal Remover (Pro): strip the vocals on device for a clean instrumental. No internet, no extra subscription. • Lock Arrangement (Pro): trim, add, or repeat a section and the recording re-cuts to match, even while you listen. • Recording Versions: when a song has two different Chorus 1 moments, colored dots tell them apart and each arrangement picks which one plays. • Multiple keys per song (Pro): keep the Sunday key and the acoustic key on the same chart and switch between them. • Half time and double time: convert a song's tempo feel from the tempo screen and the bars, arrangements, and library all follow. • Play with Click (Pro): run the click and guide locked in time over the real track. Rehearsal sounds exactly like Sunday. • Click EQ: three band tone control to shape the click for your in ears. Too boomy? Pull the lows. • MIDI control (free): Looptimus, Envive Chocolate, or any foot controller. Play, stop, mute, song select, live insert, repeat section, and dedicated pedals for Dynamic Start and Hold, including one press per song that opens it straight into a vamp. • Infinite Click: the metronome keeps going after the last section. No awkward silence. • Multi song sets: your full setlist with per song tempo, time signature, and color coded tabs. • Export to your DAW: WAV free, plus MP3, AAC, or separate click and guide tracks for Ableton, Logic, or Pro Tools. • 5 themes (Pro), including Void, a true OLED black for dark stages. • Built for iPad and Mac. The music stand and the sound booth. FREE 3 songs, 1 set, guide voice, click playback, Dynamic Start and Hold, click EQ, WAV export, full MIDI control, and reference track playback. PRO Unlimited songs and sets, all themes, Planning Center sync, custom MIDI profiles, MP3, AAC, and separate track export, the web player, and the full reference toolkit: vocal remover, lock arrangement, play with click, beat detection, and multiple keys. Built by a worship musician who got tired of running a DAW just for a click track.
