Musician Tools

Everything you need, right where you need it. A chromatic tuner, full-featured metronome, and hearing-awareness dB meter—built directly into Live Performance.

Overview

Great performances depend on more than songs and setlists.

Musicians rely on accurate tuning, steady tempo, and an awareness of sound levels throughout rehearsals and live performances. Instead of switching between multiple applications, Musician Tools brings these essentials together inside Live Performance, allowing you to stay focused on your music.

Whether you're preparing for rehearsal, making a quick adjustment between songs, or checking stage volume, the tools you need are always close at hand.

Chromatic Tuner

The built-in Chromatic Tuner provides fast and accurate tuning for any instrument.

It detects the note being played, displays the current pitch, and shows the distance from perfect tuning using a clear cents indicator.

An adjustable A4 Reference Pitch allows you to match your ensemble's preferred tuning standard whenever needed.

Designed for quick access, the tuner makes it easy to check your instrument without leaving Live Performance.

Metronome

The integrated Metronome supports both rehearsal and individual practice.

Set the tempo manually or use Tap Tempo to capture the natural feel of the music.

Adjust Beats per Bar, choose rhythmic Subdivisions, and follow visual beat indicators throughout each measure.

A built-in Practice Timer also tracks the duration of your practice session.

dB Meter

The dB Meter helps musicians remain aware of rehearsal and stage volume.

Using your device's microphone, it displays an approximate dBA reading together with easy-to-understand hearing awareness levels.

Rather than replacing professional sound-level equipment, it provides a practical reference that encourages healthy listening habits during rehearsals and live performances.

Available from Live Performance

Musician Tools are always available directly from the Live Performance hub.

Simply open Live Performance, select Musician Tools, and choose:

Designed with Purpose

Stay Focused on Music

Tuning, tempo, and volume awareness are all part of preparing to perform. Keeping these tools inside Live Performance allows musicians to remain focused without interrupting their workflow.

One Environment

Songs, Stage Sets, and essential musician tools are available together in one place, making rehearsals and live performances more efficient.

Built for Every Musician

Whether you play guitar, bass, keyboards, lead worship, sing, or direct a band, the same tools are available whenever you need them.

Flexible Tempo Control

Tap Tempo, adjustable BPM, Beats per Bar, and rhythmic Subdivisions support a wide variety of musical styles and rehearsal situations.

Hearing Awareness

Healthy hearing is one of a musician's most valuable resources. The integrated dB Meter helps monitor sound levels and encourages greater awareness during long rehearsals and performances.

Ready on iPad and iPhone

The interface is optimized for both iPad and iPhone, making the tools equally useful on a music stand, in rehearsal rooms, or during practice.

Design Decisions

Why include musician tools inside ChordSet?

Preparing music often involves moving between lyrics, chords, tuning, tempo, and rehearsal. Keeping these tools inside Live Performance reduces unnecessary interruptions and keeps musicians focused on performing.

Why use a chromatic tuner?

Different instruments, alternate tunings, and changing keys all benefit from a chromatic tuner that works naturally across a wide variety of musical situations.

Why include Tap Tempo?

Musicians often recognize the feel of a song before they know its BPM. Tap Tempo allows tempo to be set naturally by listening and tapping.

Why include a dB Meter?

Long rehearsals and repeated exposure to high sound levels can affect hearing over time. The dB Meter promotes awareness and encourages healthy listening habits.

Why place these tools in Live Performance?

These are the moments when musicians need them most. Keeping them inside Live Performance places them alongside Stage Sets and chord sheets, ready whenever they're needed.

Important Notes

Chromatic Tuner and dB Meter require microphone permission.
The dB Meter displays an approximate dBA value for hearing awareness and is not intended as a certified sound-level meter.
Musician Tools are built directly into Live Performance and require no separate installation.
