For solo entertainers
MIDI files on stage — no laptop.
Play MIDI files without a keyboard or a computer: your iPad plays MIDI files and backing tracks straight through your MB Music module — with lyrics, chords and a set list for the whole night.
- MIDI files and karaoke files (.kar) with lyrics display — lyrics and chords scroll along
- Change key and tempo live — saved per song, the original file stays untouched
- Optionally show the lyrics on the singer's iPhone as well
- Stage lock with a PIN: no accidental tap mid-song
- Free, offline, no account
MIDI Player
Your MIDI files, fully in your hands.
- Mixer for all 16 tracks in two banks: volume, pan, solo and mute with big faders
- Assign the perfect sound from your module to each track
- Scrolling karaoke lyrics — the active line always in view
- Change tempo and key live; markers jump exactly to the start of the bar
- Live Sounds: sound setups as big buttons — one tap switches the sound instantly
Chords
Chords above the lyrics — just like a lead sheet.
- Every chord sits exactly above the point in the line where it is played
- Scrolls along with the song — the active line always in view
- Switchable notation: international (B, Bb) or German (H, B)
- Can be turned on and off per song — without chords the plain lyrics remain
Live mode
Made for the stage.
- Songs straight from your set lists — lyrics, chords and transport on one screen
- Function keys F1–F12: chords on/off, tap tempo, transpose, previous/next song, panic
- Mute and unmute the lead voice — you play the melody yourself, the song stays untouched
- Drums and bass solo at a tap
MP3 Player
Backing tracks with lyrics and chords.
- Play your backing tracks whenever you need them
- Lyrics and chords scroll along in sync
- MIDI, styles and MP3 in one mixed set list for the gig
Arranger
BetaPlay with a full band behind you.
- You play the chords, the app accompanies — with intro, fill-ins, variations and ending
- Track editor: sound, octave, pan, reverb, chorus and volume of every track — save as your own style
- Four one-touch buttons for right-hand sounds
- Accurate chord recognition — inversions too — and adjustable lead time for even timing
Creator
Build your very own sound.
- Several sound zones on a split keyboard — up to C9
- Per zone: sustain, modulation, pitch bend and expression switchable — with reverb and chorus

- Save any combination as a performance
Second screen
The lyrics for everyone — on a second screen.
- Show the running lyrics in parallel on an iPhone or a second iPad on the same Wi-Fi
- Perfect when singers or bandmates need to follow along
- Font size and colour scheme freely adjustable on the second device
- Optionally the second device shows the current and next chord in large type — with a countdown to the change
- Switch on and off right on the second device
- Up to 7 devices at once — even an iPad without a module as a pure lyrics screen (Lyrics mode)
