Master Click

Created by drummer and producer Shannon Forrest, Master Click brings musical, performed-feel groove clicks, setlists, song recall, charts and MIDI control to the stage.

Created by drummer and producer Shannon Forrest, Master Click is a live-performance system built around a click that feels musical. It brings performed rhythm layers, setlists, complete song recall, notes, PDF charts, count-offs, MIDI control, mixing and flexible audio routing into one stage-ready workspace. SETLISTS, NOTES, AND PDF CHARTS Keep songs in performance order and move through them from the main console or expanded setlist view. Text notes and PDF charts remain connected to each song, with tempo-based auto-scroll controls for performance. BUILD THE CLICK AROUND THE SONG Choose musical kick, snare, hi-hat, shaker, tambourine, brush, conga, cowbell, and other patterns. Tempo-aware playback preserves the feel and dynamics of the original performances, with swing behavior designed around the selected pattern. EVERY SONG REMEMBERS ITS SETUP Each song stores its tempo, time signature, swing, length, active layers, patterns, sounds, mixer levels, pan, filters, output routing, count-off settings, notes, and chart preferences. MIX AND ROUTE FOR THE STAGE Adjust each layer independently and recall the entire mix with the song. Route layers to available stereo output pairs when using compatible multichannel audio hardware. HANDS-FREE CONTROL Assign compatible MIDI controllers and footswitches to Play/Stop, Stop/Reset, Previous Song, Next Song, Tap Tempo, and Panic Restart. BUILT FOR PERFORMANCE Master Click is a focused, offline performance tool for iPad. No account or login is required.
