The other apps

They're separate apps, but on the same Wi-Fi they find each other and share the work.

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 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

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.
