Tool to display chords with Program Change and Audio playing

Post by Eriknie »

I am not certain if it is permissible to discuss this topic here, but I have created an application that I have been using for several years in various environments to display chords on a tablet for the songs we perform. Initially, I developed the app in Android, MacOS, Python, and Pythonista. Recently, I created a native iPhone and iPad app. Though it took some time for me to become familiar with Xcode, I discovered that an app will only work for a week unless it is released in the store. Consequently, I decided to enhance its stability and universality and release it as my first app.

When performing with my band, we typically have a setlist, but sometimes we deviate from it. Therefore, chord-display software invariably necessitates scrolling. This is not desirable in a live setting and consumes too much time. To address this issue, I developed an app that displays all songs on one screen. Upon selecting a song, the app displays it in full screen. By clicking the screen again, the user returns to the overview screen.

Furthermore, the app has the added features of sending program changes and playing audio files (for backing tracks or other purposes). It works well and quickly in my band environment. Since it is based on iCloud data, I can modify everything from my desktop. I use it to create backing tracks with left-click and right audio. Additionally, I control my Nord Stage 3 and Nord Wave 2. The program changes are generic, but I have created an easy program change mode for those devices. This mode enables the user to utilize Nord program names (like "B32" or "C55") without the need to calculate the correct PC and bank select.
it also uses the Nord colors...

Not sure if this the best location to share this tool, but I want to thank the people who downloaded the app.
I would very much like to receive feedback and ideas for new features for the qsheets application.
