Mixet

Mixet is a multichannel setlist player for bands or solo musicians wishing to supplement their live performance with prerecorded backing tracks or tempos pushed to all members and plug-ins on each song.

Many musicians, same as I do, play in a band where other members (bassists and drummers mostly) may miss rehearsals, or you may play a show in a small venue or an art opening where drums are impossible. Or maybe you are the drummer and need to practice at home like you're with the band. Backing tracks are a great solution, but the standard player is not enough. We need to control the way the next song progresses. We may need a metronome, countdown, and pushing the tempo to all our plug-ins and other band members. We may need to send tracks to specific audio interface outputs to recreate the presence of the missing member. Sending a bass track to a bass amp makes a significant difference compared to mixed stereo on portals.
Mixet app is a simple way of playing multichannel backing show sets on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. No accounts, no uploads. It's focused on simplicity and usability.

VIRTUAL MIDI MESSAGING

You can use Mixet to send MIDI messages to other apps. That lets you control what other apps do when a song gets selected or played in Mixet. For example, in the AUM app, you can load sessions with presets, toggle effects, or change parameters. To set that up, connect Mixet as a virtual source in your other MIDI-controlling app and choose what Mixet MIDI command should trigger.


ABLETON LINK INTEGRATION

- Auto-push tempo
Mixet uses Ableton Link technology to push the playing song tempo to the jam. You can enable the Automatic Push feature (the "link" icon in the playback options) to push the song tempo automatically to the jam once you start the playback. Note, Mixet does not update tempo when peers change it.
That is a great way to synchronize the tempo of your effects, like delays and vibrato, to match your prerecorded backing tracks and keep the program for your concert.

- Start / Stop sync
You can enable the Start / Stop sync in Ableton Link settings (the link icon in the Sets view) so all jam links supporting this feature will start playing along with Mixet. You can disable the Stop sync to ensure that no peer can interrupt your show accidentally.


EXTRA SYNC OPTIONS

- Start-only sync
You may want to start all peers altogether but then stop one of the peers while keeping Mixet playing. That's where the Start-only option helps.
- When to push
You can specify whether you want to push the tempo to the jam on the song selection or when you hit the Play button.
