The Intelligent Live
Performance Control Platform.
Uniting all 7 core stage engines — Playback, Lyrics, Chords, Cue Timeline, MIDI, Stage Lighting, and Setlists — into one unified, low-latency command system for touring bands, playback engineers, and live performers.
7 Core Engines. One Intelligent Platform.
Everything required for professional live stage performances, seamlessly synchronized under a single unified clock.
Playback
Lossless multitrack stem playback, independent FOH / drummer in-ear monitor routing, automated click tracks, and zero-drift master audio clock.
Lyrics
Time-synchronized stage teleprompter, high-contrast performer displays, automatic auto-scrolling, and Singlish-to-Sinhala Unicode transliteration.
Chords
Intelligent 4-bar chunk architecture, instant key transposition, fretboard diagrams, capo voicing, and AI-powered optical chord sheet scanning.
Cue
Microsecond-precision DAW timeline canvas, voice guide cues ("Chorus in 3, 2, 1"), count-in cues, section markers, and dynamic loop jump triggers.
MIDI
Automate keyboard synth patch changes, guitar pedalboards, external hardware triggers, and beat-clock sync over standard WebMIDI and USB interfaces.
Stage
Synchronize stage fixtures, strobes, and washes via DMX, Art-Net, sACN, and OSC triggers tied precisely to musical sections and timeline cues.
Setlist
Real-time master-follower stage synchronization across phones, tablets, and laptops with sub-20ms WebSocket latency, gig flow, and screen wake lock.
Engineered for Modern Stage Playback
Playbacking goes far beyond basic MP3 audio players. It delivers microsecond precision multi-stem audio, automated pre-counts, voice cues, and synchronized section triggers.
Multi-Stem Playback
Route separate audio stems (loops, pads, strings, FX) to Front of House (FOH) while sending a dedicated click and vocal cue channel directly to drummer in-ear monitors.
Microsecond Cue Timeline
High-performance 60fps HTML5 Canvas DAW timeline. Add audio stems, lyrics, chords, MIDI CC commands, and lighting cues with microsecond accuracy and flexible snapping.
Automated 1-Bar Pre-Count
Avoid sloppy song intros. High-pitch metronome stick cues pre-roll for 1 bar before audio starts, giving drummers and players exact entry timing without guesswork.
One Live Session. Tailored for Every Musician.
The drummer needs a visual click; the lead singer needs large teleprompter lyrics; the guitarist needs chord diagrams. Playbacking renders exactly what each performer requires.
Guitar & Bass View
4-bar chord chunks with instant fret diagrams, capo transposition, and active bar pulse glow.
Lead Vocals View
High-contrast, auto-advancing lyrics teleprompter with chord reminders and section markers.
Drums & Percussion
High-visibility flashing visual metronome, beat pulse indicator, count-in prompt, and click mute.
Full Chart View
Responsive multi-column lead sheet grid (1 to 5 columns) displaying the complete song on one tablet screen.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Playbacking and how does the 7-engine architecture work?
Playbacking is the intelligent live performance control platform that unifies Audio Playback, Lyrics, Chords, Timeline Cues, MIDI, Lighting Stage cues, and Setlists under a master synchronized clock for flawless stage execution.
Do follower band members need to install an app from the App Store?
No. Playbacking is built as a progressive web app (PWA). Follower musicians can open the live session link on any Safari, Chrome, iPad, Android, or laptop browser without installing third-party apps.
Will device screens turn off or sleep during long gigs?
No. Playbacking integrates an active Screen Wake Lock engine that prevents stage phones and tablets from dimming or going to sleep during live performances and soundchecks.
How does MIDI and Lighting automation work?
You can insert MIDI Program Change, CC parameters, or DMX/Art-Net lighting cues directly onto the Timeline. When the playhead crosses the cue, the command is triggered in real time to external gear.
