BeatPrompter Android

BeatPrompter

Time-sensitive lyrics & chords autocue app and MIDI controller for musicians.

Features & Capabilities

BeatPrompter is a teleprompter/autocue app for song lyrics and/or chords which places a greater emphasis on visibility, timing and rhythm than other similar apps. By defining such things as beats-per-minute, beats-per-bar, bars-per-line, etc, you can have a greater control over the display, and by knowing that the onscreen text will definitely be in the right place at the right time, BeatPrompter can display each line of the song in as large a font as possible, making it more readable from a greater distance, or for users with imperfect vision. Great for players of guitar, keyboard, mandolin, banjo, whatever, or even just vocalists.

BeatPrompter uses the popular ChordPro file format, with a few custom {tags} to control app-specific functionality. It reads song files from the (free) Google Drive, Dropbox or Microsoft OneDrive cloud storage services, or you can store files directly on your device.

BeatPrompter can output custom MIDI messages at precisely-timed moments to control any external devices you have attached, as well as outputting MIDI clock signals to synchronize external devices, such as looper pedals and drum machines. It can also optionally play backing tracks along with each song, and you can define multiple backing tracks for each song and choose which to play.

User Reviews

This is a very much underrated app for musicians, I absolutely love it. I use it to trigger backing tracks and read lyrics, chords and cues on the screen. It works great for my gigs, has all the options that I need. The Band Leader mode allows to mirror the screen to other band members screens, wonderful. I use it on my android phone (no tablet). The lyrics synchronize perfectly with the backing tracks. I have been searching this app for a long time and I hope it gets more popular in the community. Bravo Steven!

How do I start using this app? How can I add songs? Where can I find songs? What file format? Are the songs pre programed so that I don't have to be the one to program the timing?
