What PadVox is
More than a backing track player
The difference starts at the second gig.
A track player does one thing: it plays what you load. PadVox does that too, with more control than you usually need on day one. The difference starts at the second gig, when what needs solving is no longer the audio.
01
What it does the same
- Load your tracks, build the setlist, walk on stage with your phone.
- Click to your in-ears, mix to the PA. With a two-output adapter, from the free plan.
- Key and tempo in view, next song in one tap.
- Moves to the next song on its own, with the pause you set, or waits for you.
- Count-in of up to eight bars, tap tempo and five click sounds.
- Works with no signal: the whole app runs offline and syncs when it is back.
02
What it does differently
- Every track on its own.
- Up to eight stems per song, each to the output you choose, with its own gain, mute and solo. Up to four output channels. The sequence to the PA, the click to the drummer, the choir to the singer.
- Over USB, not the headphone jack.
- Plug in a USB audio interface and the audio stops being a split stereo pair: each stem goes to the channel you assign, up to four. Any interface works, from the smallest two-output box to the largest: the app recognizes it when you plug it in and you work with what you have.
- Every musician their own mix.
- With Monitor Mix and Live Sync, each person adjusts what they hear from their own phone, without touching what the others hear.
- What you read, not just what you hear.
- Synced lyrics and chords, cues for the crew, a teleprompter, and all of it on an external screen over HDMI or AirPlay when you need it.
- Video with the audio, not beside it.
- A song can carry its own video, synced to the tracks with drift correction, on the external screen over HDMI or AirPlay.
- The score travels with the song.
- A PDF score per song, next to the lyrics, chords and cues: what each person needs to read, in the same place.
- MIDI out and MIDI in.
- Program Change and Control Change to your rig on every song, MIDI Clock at the metronome tempo, and a MIDI footswitch for play, stop, next and previous without letting go of your instrument.
- The band, not just whoever holds the phone.
- A setlist one person edits is what the whole group sees, instantly, on phone and web, with roles and permissions.
- And everything around the show.
- Date, venue, schedule, hotel, day sheet, stage plot, rider, contract, settlement, tickets. In the same place as the setlist, because it is the same show.

When you notice
A player works until one of three things happens: the second musician wants their own mix, the singer needs the lyrics, or someone has to send the rider. PadVox is built for the day they do.
