Cool Setlist Trick for Gig'ers

Okay, I am building my first real Gig setlist and discovered an obvious but super cool attribute of the setlist:

You can create setlist entries that do nothing but provide info! In every other board I have ever used (master mode in Yamaha for example) you put all your songs in order but it was entirely based on the sound sequence you would use (hammond, then wurli, then a synth, then piano, etc.)

But with setlist mode, you can make a blank slot and just name it for easy tracking: I named "stall for 20 seconds" for example to remind me that the guitar player needs to go into Drop D before the next song. You can put your breaks in there, Hell, you can put scripts for banter in there if you want. Then you just move through the list, one page per set type thing.

You can then cut and paste the whole setlist if you want to make an "adjusted" lineup.

Simple, easy, efficient. Does any other board do this and maybe I just didn't know it?

And with PCG Tools you can even use a PC to enter the text making it easier than doing it on the synth's onscreen keyboard.

Load the PCG in the app, select the set list slot, press Edit and type in the description, repeat for any set list slot, save the PCG.

Ok, I understand now. I was having the initial uncertainty because most of the PGC files I have downloaded do not have the option to select Combi or Setlist :?

I eventually found a Robinhood download were I could select Combi and another Robinhood download (residentevil) where both Combi and Setlist could be selected. Good work Michael and Robinhood 8)

I don't know exactly what PCG of Robinhood this is ... is there a link to it so I can test it in my app?

Tried to send it to you but my email provider won't let me due to the file size (35Mb).


Edit: Main PGC file compressed and now sent to you.
