Thank you for continuing development of Stage Traxx. I've downloaded the beta 3.0 and after preliminary testing, I can see that this is a wonderful replacement for v2. I use it mainly for backing tracks, lyrics, real-time midi and set lists. My main concern was real-time midi and I can report that it is working perfectly. I use Midifire to route midi and though I can't route Stage Traxx directly to Midifire, it is acceptable. Any chance of adding midi routing in the future?

BTW, I started looking for a replacement app when I read that you were going to stop development of v2. I'm really glad you decided to continue! Besides, there isn't an app like Stage Traxx to be found.
Thanks,
Eddie

In Stage Traxx v2, I create set of break music. That way I don't have to open another app.

I forgot to mention that I’m testing v3 on an iPhone 8 running v12.1

Hi Peter there seems to be a small bug relating to adding songs to a playlist. Can you please see if you can duplicate this condition. Start with an empty Queue then select Playlists, then tap on a playlist to add it to the Queue (Lyrics view automatically opens). Now try to add additional songs to this playlist by closing the lyrics view and tapping the edit “I” symbol on right of screen. The + symbol needed to add songs to the playlist doesn’t pop up at the bottom of screen as expected nor does it appear when playlist edit function is selected. regards Richard
PS I’m testing on IPAD LATEST IOS.

Yes, it's the same on my iPhone as well. I was wondering if I add a song to the queue, can the queue be saved back to the playlist.
Thx,

Here are more result from my testing. Be aware that I'm testing mainly for my workflow, and if I don't mention a setting, it means that it doesn't affecting how I use Stage Traxx.
1. If I manually add songs to a cleared queue and a placeholder is the first song in the queue, the lyrics will not display. Only after adding and playing a backing track, can I go back to the placeholder and the lyrics will then be visible.
2. The Song/Set volume icon is missing.
3. As DickyDutch mentioned, I cannot add to the playlist unless the queue is clear.
4. How do I get the song to remain in the queue after playing.
In Settings:
5. Master Eq works
6. Volume slider works
7. I don't use the Fade settings
8. I don't use the Network sessions (I perform mostly solo)
9. Dark mode works, I wouldn't use light mode.
10. Haven't tested the color settings yet, not a high priority.
11. Screen lock is not a high priority
12. Stop button mode works
13. Double tap to stop works
14. Show lyrics on play works
15. Default queue add position works
16. Volume control: Works except that in device mode, the display doesn't update if the
iPhone buttons are used. If device volume is used for the set volume as in v2, the display would make more sense.
17. Clock mode, I'm not sure how useful Timer and Queue End modes are.
18. Autoscroll lyrics work
19. Fixed font width works, but I wouldn't use it.
20. Centered text works.
21. Haven't tested remote control yet.
22. Backups: Create and Restore works

Current settings:
Master Eq: Off
Fader Settings (all): 0s
Buffer size: 512 (default)
Host session: Off
Dark Mode: On
Color settings: n/a
Disable Screen lock: On
Stop Button Mode: Rewind
Double tap to stop: On
Show lyrics on play: On
Volume control: Song
Clock Mode: Clock
Autoscroll lyrics: Off
Fixed font width: Off
Centered Text: On
Remote control: Not set up

I hope you'll find this helpful.
Thx,
Eddie

Would you consider adding Audiobus or IAA into Stage Traxx in the future? If I wanted to use Bias Fx or other iOS apps, it would be more straight forward in the context of using a mixer such as AUM to send the different audio to my Behringer XR18.
Thx again for your work. Perhaps you should set up a PayPal account for me to donate to your project(s).

peter Audiobus is already supported.

Thx, I will make no further assumptions because it is not available in ST2.

peter Can't reproduce this. Lyrics are shown fine for placeholders as first song in empty queue.

When I go into Queue, I found that I had to tap anywhere within the navigation block except for the Next button. Ok, this is moot if loading the queue from playlist.

peter Don't know what you mean by v2 as there was no way to control device volume ...

Sorry Peter, v2 is ST2. So in ST2, I can control the song volume and playlist volume within ST2, and device volume with the hardware buttons. The playlist volume is super convenient for my break music which is a different volume setting than backing tracks. But I do like the vol up/down buttons, it makes it much easier during a song.

peter No room for them on the iPhone. You need an iPad for that.

Ok

peter You can't that's how a queue works.

Ok

Hi Peter,

Regarding the queue: is there a way to change the behaviour at least for playlists and instead of removing the already played songs, only mark them played?

After all, the purpose of a playlist is to have the same songs in the same order all the time.

So, here’s my use scenario:
- I load the playlist, which contains all the songs I play, because I don’t want to keep exiting the player in order to select the next song
- sometimes I am requested to play a song that I already played, but since the played songs are deleted from the queue, I have to exit the player and readd the song from the Songs window.

If instead, the songs would be kept in the queue and only be marked played, I wouldn’t have to exit the player window in order to repeat a song.

So basically I would want to have all the songs from my repertoire (my playlist) available in the player window (queue) all the time.

Another thing I haven’t yet figured out: how to quickly search a song in the queue. I have about 300 songs sorted A-Z, so if I play a song starting with A and the need to play a song starting with Z, it takes some time to swipe all the way down.

Thank you and have a nice day!

peter Hello Peter ,
this version is stable we can use it on our show ?
Thankls

Hi Peter, I just downloaded this latest version. I must say that it is Exactly What I have been wishing for!. For those of us the do not like to play same songs in same seq but rather "read" the crowd and play songs on the fly, this is absolutely perfect. I can be thinking 2,3,4 songs ahead and stack them in the queue. Also as Happy Birthday and other requests come it it is very easy to add to the queue.

One thing, I believe the last time I tested this I had added my songs to each of my genre playlists by importing from Library. I may have missed that but I just went to a Playlist, clicked the + at the bottom of the page and it seemed to go directly to songs. With 500+ songs in my library, I generally (with ST2) added songs to my playlists by choose to add from Playlists and not Songs?

Again, Thanks for adding the new runtime interface! PERFECT!
