Audio Player - Fading In and Out

Shootagus

There needs to be an option to fade out the audio player within Music Stand. I love using this resource and use it every weekend where I lead, however, one thing I wish I could do is add MP3 files of Ambient Pads into a song, and start and stop the pad from my foot switch, and have the pads fade in and out when started/stopped. I can start the pad with how the audio player works now, but it would be great to be able to have an option to fade the MP3 file out when stopped, instead of an abrupt stop. This would allow me to control the pads with my feet, which would be much easier!

Love this app but my one complaint

joeymadera

So I’ve been using this app for years. I would play a song from my iTunes and follow along the chords to practice. I can’t do that anymore cause the app stops music playback. I wish you had a choice.

Great App!

Been using this apps for years. Both on Android and IOS. I use it with a Bluetooth pedal. Works great. Feature suggestion ... Would love to see the app connect and advance slides on the main church presentation software (pro presenter, proclaim ... etc.) This way when the leader advance the pages within Music Stand, it advances the lyric slides for the congregation as well. Possible?

Problem with metronome response using Bluetooth connected Pedalboard

worshipdrummerintraining

Earlier this year, we had a setup using iRigBlueboard software to connect a pedalboard to an iPad in order to control the metronome provided in music stand. The system worked great with no hiccups or delays. A short while ago, we needed to reformat the iPad and we quickly discovered that music stand was no longer responding the way it previously was. We checked all batteries and connections. We even redownloaded the app after doing a second reformat of the iPad. We are still running into the issue of music stands metronome refusing to stop after repeatedly commanding it to via the pedalboard. Please look into this matter. We love Planning Center and wish to continue using it to the fullest. Thank you.

Apple Pencil issues

sooner dood

Love this app, but making notes in the music is terribly cumbersome and seemingly light years behind any other app regarding Apple Pencil integration. The recognition of the pencil movement is imprecise and the inability to use the double tap to engage the eraser is frustrating. This will be a 5 star app for me when this is addressed.

Metronome bug

BNC Worship

This app used to work perfectly but I’m running into a major bug. I trigger the metronome with a midi pedal, line 6 helix. It used to be that you didn’t need to click the metronome icon and have the module at the top of the screen, now it won’t work unless you do. Even worse when I have the metronome open and try to start it, I’ll press my midi switch and I get a blip of noise and it turns right back off. This app has great functionality and I would love to give it a five star review if these bugs are fixed.

Cannot open app without WiFi

Active Music Stand User

This app would not let me enter the app unless I have access to WiFi. It just shows me the login page instead of the music sheet. In cases where I don’t have access to WiFi like at retreat centers, I won’t be able to access my music at all. Also metronome does not have midi out, which makes it useless and we have to use a separate metronome to do syncing with pulse synth

Metronome fix!

Thanks so much for fixing the metronome issue recently. I appreciate the concern for the problem and the speed at which the request was handled and fixed! I enjoy the app as well as planning center. I am on a worship team at church and we use this and it’s very helpful

Please improve Apple Pencil support

FiremanMike151

Overall the app works fine and does what it needs to do. I do like that it saves notes that I can see next time we play a song. With that said, the Apple Pencil support is just awful. It does not focus solely on the tip of the pencil, meaning the rest of my hand making contact with the iPad while writing is marking up other areas of the screen. The eraser function is not easy, and the actual marks on screen lag significantly behind the pencil. It is really quite painful to make notes, especially with my iPad on the stand..

Good, but...

I really like the functionality, in particular the ability to add my notes as overlays on sheet music. However, I regularly get validation errors, https errors, etc, when I hit the Done button after adding the notes. Instead of letting me retry saving it, all of my notes get deleted and I have to redo it all. Very annoying.
