Benefits

Chart headaches keyboard players know

Binder clips, bad lighting and outdated transposed charts break focus when you are covering pads, splits and leads.

Paper charts fall off the music stand

Load PDF charts per song. Annotate fingerings and marks with stylus. Scroll in Play Mode without losing your place mid-ballad.

Vocalist asks for a new key mid-tour

Update the chord sheet or swap the default PDF once. Cloud sync pushes the transposed chart to your iPad before the next city.

Setlists change after soundcheck

Open the shared setlist on your tablet. Running order updates automatically when the MD reorders songs from their phone.

Venue Wi-Fi never reaches the stage

Mobile offline cache downloads the full project before doors. Play Mode runs without a connection behind your keys.

FAQ

Common questions from keyboard players

Does SetSmith work with Bluetooth page-turn pedals?

Yes. Play Mode supports Bluetooth pedal navigation alongside touch and keyboard shortcuts for hands-free page turns.

Can I annotate PDF charts with a stylus?

Yes. Draw, add text and musical symbols. Annotations save on the song and display in Play Mode.

What if I need both a score and a chord chart?

Attach multiple PDFs or lyric sheets per song. Set which one opens by default for quick access.

Will charts work offline behind my rig?

On mobile, cache the project before the gig. Play Mode works without Wi-Fi during the show.

Can I slow reference tracks to learn a part?

Yes. Variable playback speed from 0.5x to 1.25x and stem separation help you rehearse pads and solos.

Import your charts, connect your pedal and walk on stage with every song one foot-press away.
