The whole application, nothing staged
Every image on this page is a capture of the running application with a real show loaded — a comedy club running order with a pad wall of stings. Click any of them to see it full size.
The screens
Mid-show
Track 3 is playing and counting down. The cursor is parked two rows below on the track that Play will start next — move it with the remote while the music keeps running.
An overlay pad over the music
Applause fires on top of the running track, which dips underneath it and comes back up when the pad finishes.
The wall, docked below
Pads dock right, left, above or below, in whatever grid shape suits the show. Here: six across, two down, under the running order.
Pads on their own screen
Pop the wall out into its own window for a second monitor or a touchscreen. Audio still comes from the main window — one engine, however many screens.
Every show, one click away
Favorites first, then what you opened recently. A missing drive is flagged, never quietly deleted.
Teach it your remote
Press a button, see its code, click Learn. Keyboard shortcuts keep working — learning adds a key, it never takes one away. The four unassigned actions are for a remote with buttons to spare: one job each, no button meaning two things.
Playback, your way
What Up/Down does, which of seven things the play key does, what happens when a track ends — including “this track only”, which cues nothing at all — and how long the fade takes. Settings is one short page per subject, chosen from the dropdown, not one long scroll.
What plays, and what does not
The formats it handles, the ones it cannot, and a plain answer on copy protection: it is never checked and never defeated, so what you load — and your right to play it — is yours to control.
Pad settings
Grid shape, bank count, label size and padding, whether the number keys fire pads at all, what a new pad does, what a second press does, and how far the playlist dips under an overlay.
Any colors you like
Background, highlight, text and font are all yours, and the text color follows the background automatically so it always stays readable.
Appearance
Including the text size, which scales the playlist rows from 12 to 160 pixels without moving a single control, and a bold setting that thickens the track names and pad labels for a screen read at arm’s length.
The printed running order
Every track with its length and pad reference, the total running time, and a table of every pad. Hand it to the sound engineer, leave it with a stand-in operator, or file the dated copy as a record of what you ran that night.
