Your band.
In perfect sync.

MidiPrompter turns your Mac into the ultimate live performance hub — auto-scrolling lyrics, ChordPro chords, MIDI-triggered song changes, and automated DMX lighting. The perfect companion for musicians running backing tracks in MainStage, Ableton Live, and more — all driven from a single program change.

Everything your band needs
on one screen

From the first chord to the last note — MidiPrompter keeps every member in sync without a sound person in sight.

🎵

MIDI Program Change → Song Load

Step on a patch and the right song loads instantly on every device. No clicking, no distractions — just play.

📜

Auto-Scrolling ChordPro Lyrics

Full ChordPro support. Chords float above the words. Sections highlight automatically. Scrolls in sync with the MIDI clock — bar by bar.

⏱

Section Countdown Timers

Set a bar count for any section. A large 4–3–2–1 countdown fires before the section arrives. Never miss an intro.

📱

Multi-Device via Local Network

Scan a QR code on any phone or tablet. Every device sees the same song, same section, same scroll position.

🎭

DMX Lighting Automation

Bar-accurate lighting cues. Lights change with the song, every time, automatically. Gradient loops, beat pulses, instant presets.

📦

Show Bundle Export

Export everything as a single .midiprompter file. Share with bandmates — they’re up and running in seconds.

The perfect partner for backing tracks

Already running tracks from MainStage, Ableton Live, or another host? MidiPrompter slots right in. Your backing-track software sends the program change — MidiPrompter loads the song, scrolls the lyrics, and fires the lights, all locked to the same MIDI clock. One stomp, everything moves together.

🎧

MainStage

Trigger song loads from your MainStage patches. Each patch change cues the matching lyrics and lighting — no extra clicks mid-set.

🎯

Ableton Live

Drive MidiPrompter from Ableton's program changes and MIDI clock. Your Session or Arrangement keeps lyrics and lights perfectly in time.

🎪

Any MIDI Host

Cantabile, Gig Performer, Logic, a hardware sequencer, or a simple MIDI foot controller — if it sends program changes and MIDI clock, it works.

MidiPrompter doesn't replace your backing-track setup — it completes it, adding the lyrics, chords, and lighting layer your audience and bandmates see.

How it works

No audio interface required. If you have a MIDI controller you already have everything you need.

Add your songs

Type or paste ChordPro lyrics in the built-in editor. Assign each song a MIDI program number. Import fixture profiles from the 8,000+ fixture library.

Connect your MIDI gear

Plug in your controller via USB. MidiPrompter auto-detects it. Enable MIDI clock output on your controller — takes about 60 seconds.

Tap bar markers during rehearsal

Play through each song and tap at each section change. MidiPrompter learns your structure and sets up scroll cues automatically.

Play the show

Hit your first patch. The song loads, the lights change, the words scroll. Every device updates in real time. You just play.

Lights that follow the music

Connect an Art-Net node to your DMX rig and MidiPrompter takes over the lighting board. Programme a timeline of colour presets per song — lights change at exactly the right bar, every time.
