Apps

The Central apps

There are six of them. The pedal plays the music and the desk runs the room. Musicians get their own chart and mix, Central Services keeps track of who's serving, and Central Production is where you make your own sounds. Pick one to see what it does.

The Central Pedal's own touchscreen in LIVE: Amazing Grace playing in G at 72 BPM with 1:58 left, verse buttons, Pause, Next, Vamp and Safe stop, and the eight pads.

Central Pedal

The pedal at the worship leader's feet

A floor unit that plays your pads and multitracks, shows the chart and lyrics, and runs a looper and a guitar or keys rig. It has 12 footswitches, knobs, a touch screen and two HDMI ports. We build and test each one, and it arrives ready to play.

Central Pedal Control's TRACKS screen: Holy, Holy, Holy's waveform with its verses marked, the lyrics for the current section, rehearse and speed controls, and a mixer for Click, Drums, Bass, Keys and Vocals.

Central Pedal Control

Get the pedal ready from home

This is where the week's prep happens. Build the setlist, add songs and tracks, set up the pads and the instrument, and decide what each button on the pedal does. When you're done, press Upload and it all goes to the pedal.

Central Control

The desk runs the whole service

Central Control runs the room from the desk: lights, lyrics, slides, cameras, the stream, in-ears and the run sheet. If you have more than one computer back there, give each one its own jobs and they work together.

Central Usage's Chord chart: Amazing Grace in G with chords over the lyrics, the current verse highlighted, and section buttons for each verse.

Central Usage

Each musician's chart, sound and mix

Central Usage is the app for the people on stage. Each musician and singer gets their own chord chart, the lyrics, their instrument sound and their own in-ear mix. It works at church and at home.

Central Services' Schedule for Grace Church: Sunday 9:00 with its four songs and keys, the Sunday band and Tech team, and each person's answer - Yes, No or Not yet - with 8 yes, 1 no and 1 not yet.

Central Services

Who's serving, sorted

Central Services is the church's schedule. It shows the services, who's been asked, who said yes, who's away and what's being played, and everyone has it on their phone.

See what it does
Central Production: a project with tracks, the mixer and the plugin builder.

Central Production

Make tracks, pads, sounds and plugins

Central Production is a free studio for making your own sounds. Record a song, build a pad or an instrument from a few samples, or put together your own reverb. Then use it in your apps, or sell it on Make & sell.

Which apps does a church need?

Most churches start with a church pack. It has Central Control for the desk, Central Usage for the musicians, a Central Pedal Control key and Central Services slots. If you want pads and tracks at your feet, add the pedal.
