DOWNBEAT
Take control of your show from the first downbeat.
Built for the person responsible for tracks.
DOWNBEAT is not trying to look like a streaming app or a studio toy. It is a control surface for the moment when the lights are down, the drummer is counting off, and the next cue has to be obvious.
It keeps the show information in plain view: active set, library, now playing, tempo, set remaining, and the transport controls that matter on stage.
INTRODUCING PLAY THROUGH
Have two songs that you always play back to back? Want to keep the flow going in a specific section of your set? Use Play Through! Play Through allows you to Command Click two songs to seamlessly transition into one another.
DOWNBEAT 0.2.0 is a paid beta. It is ready for real testing, but users should test it with their exact Logic/Ableton show setup before using it on a paid show.
