The Automator: Switch Guitar/Key Patches Instantly When You Flip the Page

You're playing a complex prog-rock set. Song 1 requires a clean chorus sound. Song 2 needs a high-gain lead. You finish Song 1. You have to: 1. Turn the page on your iPad. 2. Stomp on your Helix to change presets. 3. Adjust your volume pedal. You're doing a tap dance, and if you miss one step, you start the next song with the wrong tone.

The Old Way: Buying a massive MIDI controller pedalboard and spending weeks programming "setlists" into it.

The Bandfix Way: Song MIDI Settings.

  • One Action, Multiple Results: When you swipe to the next song in Bandfix, it automatically sends a Program Change message to your modeler or keyboard.
  • Instant Recall: Your rig switches to the exact preset you need before you even play a note.

Pro Tip: You can even send specific MIDI commands for different sections of a song (e.g., switch to "Lead" for the solo, then back to "Rhythm" for the verse).

Let the app handle the switching so you can handle the playing. Download Bandfix
