Using OnSong to Change Rackspace

Gig Performer on Mac OS X
1

Hi, all and thank you so much for the help along the way. I’ve just really dug into GP5 and am very excited about using it live for the first time in a couple weeks.

I use an iPad Pro to run OnSong for lyrics/lead sheets and I’m using a MacBook Pro for GP5.

I’d like to be able to choose a song in OnSong on the iPad Pro and have it automatically change the rackspace I’m using.

This way, I can create new songs in OnSong (or import a .pdf) and then create a new rackspace in GP5 and have them synced.

I have a Korg Nanokontrol2 to give me an actual button to choose precious and next rackspaces, it ideally, I’d like to just use OnSong to make those changes in the background.

I saw a blogpost where someone was using OnSong through their Arturia Midicontroller to do this in set list mode, but I just want to use rackspace and not go through midi controller.

Is this possible? I very much appreciate any suggestions from the community!

Thanks!

You just need to set up OnSong to send PC messages. If you are in the Panels view, it will change rackspaces.

Thank you! Must I assign a cc number and if so, does it matter what numbers I use?

Also, do I need a widget or specific wiring mapping to make this happen?

You should send program change (PC) messages to Gig Performer.

You don’t need widgets. Useful blog article: [blog] Program Change Management
