Features

What it does, in detail.

The stage controls, the shared setlist, the Apple Watch app, the Logic rescue, and the small things that make a set run on time.

On stage

Tap a song to jump to it

Logic stops, goes to that song's marker, and plays straight away if you've set the song to auto-play.

In Logic Remote you'd step through markers in project order.

Stage-sized transport

Play, pause, stop, previous and next are large buttons you can hit without looking twice. In the apps, each press gives a short vibration.

Now and next

Every phone shows what's playing and what's coming, so the guitarist doesn't need to ask whether it's the long intro version.

Perform mode

Editing is locked, the screen stays awake, and swipes that would delete or reorder songs do nothing.

Logic Remote keeps the mixer and editing a tap away.

On your wrist

Next song from an Apple Watch

The Now page shows what's playing and what's next, with a big Next button and Previous, Stop, Play and Pause underneath. Your phone stays locked in your pocket.

Logic Remote and MainStage don't run on Apple Watch.

The whole set on the watch

The Songs page lists the set; tap any song to jump to it, or tap the set's name to pick another. Scroll with the Digital Crown.

Presses you can feel

A firm tap when the Mac has made the change, and a different buzz with a short message when it couldn't. Nothing to hear or see on a loud stage.

Alerts on your wrist

A red banner and a buzz when Logic is blocked by a dialog, when Logic closes, or when the Mac drops off the network. Fix Logic is on the watch's Logic page.

A MIDI footswitch can move the set on, but it can't tell you Logic is stuck.

Part of the band

Jumps from the watch move every phone, and jumps from a phone show on the watch. It pairs as its own device, named after you ("Sam (watch)"), and you can remove it from the Mac.

Set up from the iPhone

Install the watch app from the iPhone's Watch app, then tap Set up Apple Watch in the iPhone app. Keep the watch app open on screen for the set; the setup guide shows how.

Setlists

One setlist, every phone

Reorder, add or rename songs on any phone and the others update straight away. The Mac holds the one copy everybody works from.

MainStage sets are edited in the concert on the Mac.

Edit at home with the Mac off

Phones keep a copy of every set. Changes made offline are marked Not synced and go to the Mac the next time it's on.

Nobody's changes are lost

If two people changed the same set while apart, both versions are kept. Yours is saved as a copy with your name, like "Friday (from Sam)".

Build sets from other sets

Duplicate a set to make the short version, or add songs from your other sets without re-entering their markers.

Logic

Works with your project as it is

Each song points to a marker, 1 to 20. There's nothing to bounce or rebuild.

MainStage means rebuilding the show as a concert.

Teach Logic from your phone

A one-time screen sends each control's note while Logic's Learn Mode is on, so mapping the commands takes about ten minutes.

Logic in the background is fine

Logic responds to the phones even when another app is in front.

Fix Logic

The alert about changed MIDI ports closes by itself. Other dialogs appear on the phones to answer, and a frozen Logic can be force quit and reopened with your default project.

Neither Apple tool can see a dialog on the Mac.

Open Logic from a phone

If Logic isn't running, a phone can start it and open the project you've set as the default.

The Mac app

Lives in the menu bar

It shows which phones are connected and whether Logic is open, and can open at login and keep the Mac awake while it runs.

Pairing by QR code

Show a code, scan it, done. Codes work once and expire after two minutes, and you can remove a phone at any time.

Logs for a bad night

If something goes wrong at a gig, the menu opens the logs so you can see what happened.

Phones and privacy

iPhone, Android or a browser

The Mac serves the same app to any phone's browser over your Wi-Fi, and it can be added to the Home Screen.

Logic Remote is iPhone and iPad only.

No internet, no accounts

Everything runs between the phones and the Mac on your router. The app collects nothing about you.

Names, not devices

Each phone asks for the person's name when pairing, so changes and copies say who made them.
