One run of show for the whole band.

Setlists, sheet music and click in one app: the leader sets the tempo, and every synced tablet sees live where we are. Even without a network.

Every song is a sequence of sections with rehearsal marks, bars and tempo. Click, sheet music, lyrics and live position all read from this one structure.

Everyone sees what they need.

One tablet leads, all others follow – song, section and bar. Drums see the run of show, vocals the lyrics, horns their part, and everyone their own notes. If a device fails, another takes over with a tap.

Fits into your backline.

bandAgent plugs into the rig that is already on stage: click and voice cues into the in-ears, MIDI in and out. Set up by simple learning – hit a pad, done.

Click straight into the in-ear mix

Scheduled sample-accurately in native audio code, with no drift. Wired straight into the in-ear mix. Tempo changes, ritardando as a ramp, repeat a section – all on the bar line, without restarting.

Voice cues that follow the song

Spoken cues follow the song: sections, count-ins, “last time”. Plus your own cue buttons with free text. All optional – click left, cues right, two separate channels at the desk.

MIDI in: hands free

Connect a pad, foot switch or keyboard and teach it once: pick a function, hit the pad. Start, stop, next, repeat, cues and tap tempo are then under your stick or foot – even with the display locked.

MIDI out: pad and playback in line

Every song carries a program. When the song comes up, bandAgent sends the program change: the sampling pad switches kits, the playback rig loads the matching program – samples and backing tracks are ready before the count-in.

What you know from Ableton Live. Only simpler.

The tools of a live session, without the session: bandAgent builds them from the structure of your songs.

  • Click trackNothing to pre-produce. Enter bars and tempo, the click is there.
  • CuesVoice cues are spoken from the song structure, not recorded.
  • Locators & loopsRepeat or leave a section – on the bar line, by pedal.
  • MIDI mappingPick a function, hit the pad, done.
  • Tempo automationTempo changes and ritardando as a ramp across bars.
  • Program changesStored per song, sent automatically.

Built for the rehearsal room and the stage.

No more sending PDFs around, no more five different setlists. bandAgent keeps everything in one place and works when it matters.

Offline for the gig

Songs, setlists and sheet music live on the device. Each setlist shows whether everything is downloaded. After a crash you pick up at the last position – and on the local network, following works without internet.

Sheet music with marks

Upload once, and every part reaches the right player automatically. Rehearsal marks as the shared anchor, markers, jump points and annotations. For MobileSheets there is a ready-made package.

Events and RSVPs

Rehearsals and gigs, reply with a swipe, see the line-up by section and get reminders. The setlist is attached right to the event.

GEMA list in one tap

Composer, lyricist, arranger and publisher are stored with each song. After the gig, export the music report as PDF and as an Excel file for the GEMA portal (German performing rights society).

AI assistant via the MCP connector

Connect Claude or ChatGPT with your own account and say, for example, “Build me a 90-minute set from the fast tunes” or “Import this spreadsheet”. The assistant works with your permissions, shows imports as a preview first, and every change can be undone. It cannot delete anything.

  2. Build songs and a setlist

    Lay out songs as sections with tempos, upload sheet music, put the setlist together – or import existing lists with AI.

  3. Play
