Defining songs and setlist
SYNTAX :
This part of the setup is optional. You can perfectly use the FCB1010 without defining any songs. In
that case you use the Up and Down switches to scroll through the different banks defined before.
However you can also choose to define songs in your setup, and organize these songs in a setlist. When
you do so, the Up and Down switches will scroll through these songs instead. You link each song to a
bank defined before, and that bank will automatically be activated when you scroll to the song.
The order in which you scroll through the songs is defined in a “setlist”. The advantage of working with
a setlist is obvious : it allows you to define all songs in your repertoire, link them to the required
FCB1010 bank, and then specify which sublist of the full repertoire will be used in the next gig.
Remember that you can comment out any line in the setup by prepending “//”. This way you can easily
skip one or a few songs from a setlist. Alternatively you can use a multiline comment “/* …. */” to have
a number of different setlists added to your setup file, and before each gig you simply uncomment the
setlist you want to use that night.
What are the advantages of using a setlist and songs ?
-
It allows you to reuse the same bank layout for multiple songs. Suppose you play 40 songs
during the gig, which use 8 different banks. Instead of requiring multiple up/down clicks
between each song to search for the correct bank, the setlist setup covers that for you and a
single “Up” click advances to the next song.
-
When you make use of the wireless status display for your FCB1010 (as explained in an earlier
chapter) the screen shows you which song is up next, so no more need for paper setlists in
that case.
-
On top of that, the wireless status display can also display song lyrics or the music score for
each song. Super easy!
SONGS =
{
[songname]
:
[bankname]
…
}
SETLIST =
{
[songname]
…
}
Remark :
When using the song lyrics or score functionality described in an earlier chapter, remember that
renaming a song in your TinyBox setup will also require re-linking the uploaded lyrics or score files to
the renamed song. See the earlier chapter about managing lyrics and score files.
