Setlist app for live bands
Build the set once; the show runs itself.
A last-minute setlist change, a cue nobody sees, a gap between songs while someone loads the next track: that is how a live show loses momentum. PadVox keeps the whole set in one place: order the songs, set how each one transitions, and run the night from a simplified Show Mode built for the stage.
Build the set, in order
Create a playlist in your project and drag songs into the order you will play them. Group them into sections (Set 1, Set 2, Encore) and PadVox calculates the total duration as you go, so you know if the set fits the slot.
Every song carries its own details: key, duration, cover art, a PDF score, video, stems, lyrics, and its own metronome and transition settings. The setlist is not just an order; it is the whole show, ready to run.
- Drag-and-drop reordering
- Sections: Set 1, Set 2, Encore
- Auto-calculated total duration
- Per-song key, tempo and cover art
Run the night from Show Mode
Show Mode is a simplified, big-control interface built for the stage. It auto-advances to the next song and shows the time remaining in the show, so you always know where you are.
Each song transitions the way you set it: immediately, after a configurable delay, or stop-and-load for a clean break. On any paid plan you can drive the whole set hands-free with a MIDI footswitch.
- Simplified stage interface, large controls
- Auto-advance and show time remaining
- Transitions: immediate, delayed or stop-and-load
- MIDI footswitch control (Solo and up)
Lyrics and cues that reach the whole team
Lyrics are synced second by second and can carry chords, shown full-screen with the current line highlighted: on the device or on an external screen over HDMI or AirPlay.
Staff cues send technical prompts to the right person at the right moment: sorted into categories like Lighting, Sound, Stage, Video or Pyro, each with a priority from Low to Critical, a configurable pre-alert, and assignment to a specific team member.
- Second-synced lyrics with optional chords
- Full-screen lyrics via HDMI or AirPlay
- Staff cues: 7 categories, 4 priority levels
- Pre-alerts assigned to specific team members
