Getting Started

Welcome to Gigmeister! Here’s how to get started with your band.

Create Your Account

1. Sign up at gigmeister.app
2. Create a new band or join an existing one with an invite code
3. You’re in — start adding songs

Invite Your Bandmates

Go to Settings > Band and copy your band’s invite code. Share it with your bandmates — they enter the code during signup and join instantly.

Note

Users can belong to multiple bands. Switch between bands from the settings menu. Your personal settings (MIDI devices, transpose values, theme) carry across all your bands.

Add Your First Song

1. Go to the Songs tab
2. Tap the + button
3. Enter the song title and artist
4. Add optional details: key, tempo, duration, chord sheet, lyrics

You can also import songs in bulk from a CSV file — go to Settings > Import.

Create a Setlist

1. Go to the Setlists tab
2. Tap New Setlist
3. Give it a name and optionally link it to a gig or rehearsal
4. Add songs from your library and drag to reorder

Use section markers (SET 1, SET 2, ENCORE) to organize multi-set gigs.

Set Up MIDI (Optional)

If you use MIDI gear on stage, head to Settings > MIDI Devices to add your devices. Gigmeister supports 49+ devices out of the box — from Nord keyboards to Line 6 Helix to Kemper Profilers. Once configured, your patches switch automatically as you navigate songs during a gig.

See the MIDI documentation for setup details.

You’re Ready!

Your song library and setlists sync automatically across all band members. Changes made by anyone are visible to everyone in real-time. The app works offline too — any changes you make without a connection sync back when you’re online again.
