koalaSet.

A setlist and performance controller for Ableton Live, with a web remote for phones and tablets over Wi-Fi.

Songs and sections come straight from your Live locator names, so the set list stays in Live.

Phones and tablets pair with a code from the Mac and follow the set on the same network.

Safe Mode asks for confirmation before any jump that would change the song.

01Features

Setlist from Live. Songs and sections come from locator names. Notation covers sections, quick sections, loops, count-ins, stops, transitions and tags.
Performance view. Current and next song, section progress, quick-section chips, and beat and bar position.
Jump modes. Quantised, end of section, end of song, dynamic and manual.
Live updates. Edits made in Ableton Live show up without a refresh.
Lyrics. Lyrics tracks with chord transposition, line styling and images.
Web remote. Phones and tablets connect over Wi-Fi after pairing with a code from the Mac.
Safe Mode. Asks for confirmation before any jump that would change the song.
Setlist editor. Order, removing songs, per-song overrides, save and load named setlists, and a print view.
OSC. Works with Companion, TouchOSC and Stream Deck.
Mac app. A menu-bar app that runs the server.

Each device pairs with a code from the Mac and is given its own token. Revoking access is done from the Mac.

Pairing codes replace the shared token: one code per role, and each device gets its own token.
Revoke is Mac-only.
Safe Mode covers every jump.
Setlist order and settings are kept.
Malformed URLs no longer crash the server.
Phone layout improvements.
