the tangible experience to a whole new level . Playback can send and receive MIDI , so you can map parameters in Playback to be controlled by a foot controller or external MIDI controller , meaning you don ’ t ever even have to touch the screen during your worship service . Conversely , Playback can send MIDI . That means you can quickly and easily automate lighting , control patch changes for pedals and software instruments , and even control lyric slides . You can even send MIDI Clock to control your time-based effects in guitar pedals and software instruments .
I can say with full confidence that we created these functions to ultimately save you time to focus on what matters and improve the quality of your worship times . However , I would be wrong to not acknowledge that when things sync and work together like this , it is just plain fun . The same gear nerd in all of us that lead us to research hours and hours of music and technology is the same person who gets excited when it all works perfectly together at the push of one button ! Demo Setlist lets you experience all of that without purchasing a single subscription . And all frivolity aside , it allows you to figure out exactly what is possible and what you need for your context .
MultiTracks . com aren ’ t the only ones who have a heart to serve you and give you time back . We have partnered with ProPresenter to bring you lyric slides that perfectly match the MultiTracks . And with Demo Setlist you can experience Production Cues , which are pre-made MIDI cues for each song to control the corresponding ProPresenter lyric slides . Whether you choose 1 , 2 , or 4 line formatting , your lyrics slides will follow your tracks perfectly . Change the arrangement , or even jump around in the song on the fly and your lyrics will follow . My personal favorite result of this partnership is the all-new stage display included with each set of lyric slides that includes chords and lyrics . No more getting lost or blanking on a chord change .
But if Playback can control lyric slides , shouldn ’ t it be able to control your charts too ? It absolutely does ! Unlike the PlayStation Demo Discs , the goal of Demo Setlist is to show you the full potential of the entire ecosystem . That ’ s why Demo Setlist is also available in ChartBuilder . The same setlist of songs can be accessed , and with Playback Sync , your charts will automatically scroll as the tracks play . And the same expected behavior applies here . If you change your song arrangement or jump to a different songs section on the fly , your charts will reflect those changes . You can customize your chart with filters for chord type ( chords , numbers , solfège ), MD notes , chart formatting , and more .
ChartBuilder also contains RehearsalMix , which allows you to practice along to the original recording , or even with your individual instrument ’ s part highlighted in the mix . And just as charts and tracks will change to reflect your song arrangement , your RehearsalMix audio will do the same .
I often ask myself , “ What fun is it if it ’ s not fun ?” What I mean by that is that though not everything in life is always roses and butterflies , we should fill our lives with things that bring joy to us and those around us . Obviously , the ultimate reason why we do what we do is to bring people the gospel , the greatest cause for joy that has ever been ! But even in the details , your experiences should bring life and happiness just as they bring solutions to problems . That is our goal here . To give you an experience that not only brings you the resources you need to equip you to lead and lead worship well , but to do it in a way that is a positive and enjoyable experience .
As much as I have an affinity for those PlayStation Demo Discs , they only ever brought me maybe 10 % of what the full experience could be . With Demo Setlist , it ’ s as if you ’ re able to play through the entire game , learning everything that it can do , and then go back and make the game exactly what you want it to be with your subscription . To experience everything our ecosystem has to offer , download Playback in the iOS or MacOS App Store , download ChartBuilder for iOS or Android , or visit MultiTracks . com .
Now if you ’ ll excuse me , I need to find a first generation PlayStation and a copy of Dance Dance Revolution .
