You're an Ed Sheeran-style looper. You build a beat for "Shape of You" (96 BPM). Then you switch to "Castle on the Hill" (135 BPM). But your looper pedal is still set to 96. You start recording. The loop drifts. It sounds like a train wreck.

The Old Way: Bending down to tap the tempo on your pedal with your finger while trying to play guitar.

The Bandfix Way: MIDI Clock Sync.

• Master Clock: Bandfix sends the tempo for each song to your looper pedal (via MIDI).
• Perfect Loops: Your pedal automatically snaps to the new BPM. Your delays are perfectly timed.

Pro Tip: This works for delay pedals too (Strymon, Boss, etc.). No more tapping tempo.

You have a Nord Stage or a Korg Kronos. It has 5,000 sounds. You need "Warm Pad 4" for the intro and "B3 Organ" for the verse. You spend the entire break between songs scrolling through a tiny LCD screen trying to find patch #342. The drummer counts off while you're still searching.

The Old Way: Sticking masking tape on your keyboard with patch numbers written on it. "Song 1 = 042".

The Bandfix Way: Song MIDI Settings.

1. Connect your iPad to your keyboard via USB.
2. In Bandfix, assign the MSB/LSB and Program Change numbers for each song.
3. When you open the song on your iPad, your keyboard instantly jumps to the right sound.

Pro Tip: You can even stack sounds. Have Bandfix send a command to your main board and a command to a secondary synth module at the same time.

The chorus is coming. You need to: 1. Switch from clean to distortion. 2. Turn on your delay. 3. Scroll to the next page of lyrics. 4. Sing the harmony. You're doing a tap dance that would make Fred Astaire jealous, and you're one millisecond away from falling over.

The Old Way: A massive pedalboard and frantic footwork. You spend more time looking at your feet than the crowd.

The Bandfix Way: MIDI Control.

• One Tap Rules Them All: Configure Bandfix to send a MIDI signal when you turn the page or select a song.
• Automation: When you switch to "Song B", Bandfix tells your Helix/Kemper/Fractal to switch to "Preset B". Automatically.

Pro Tip: Use a Bluetooth MIDI adapter (like the WIDI Master) to keep your rig wireless and clean.
