Worship teams
Lead from the stage, not the laptop.
Start the next song from your phone and the booth sees it too. If the bridge falls apart, tap Fade and keep the click going.
FadePresetsEvery device in sync
Works with any app that accepts MIDI, such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, MainStage and ProPresenter.
Who it’s for
Built for the people
behind the show.
Whoever runs your tracks, slides or cues, Midi CoPilot takes the laptop out of their hands and puts the show in their pocket.
How it works
Set up in three steps.
-
01
Get Midi CoPilot
Download the app on your iPhone or iPad. Name your cues, pick their colours and sort them into folders.
-
02
Scan the Link on your Mac
Open Midi CoPilot Link and scan its QR code with your iPhone. That’s it: connected over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, and it reconnects on its own every time. Prefer a cable? Bluetooth and USB MIDI work too.
-
03
Map once, play every week
In Ableton Live, turn on MIDI Map mode, click a scene or locator, then tap a cue. Done. Your show remembers it.
Everyone, in sync
Tap once.
Every screen knows.
The music director fires the opener. The keys player’s iPad lights up. The tech booth sees it on the Mac. Same show, same moment, no one guessing.
Beyond the laptop
Your instruments
change with the song.
Midi CoPilot isn’t only for show software. Keyboards, synths, guitar processors and pedalboards that accept MIDI can switch presets from the same tap. One cue can call up the right sound on every instrument at once, each on its own channel.
- Program changes, notes and CCs, up to nine messages per cue
- Send each message to its own destination: the Mac, a Bluetooth MIDI device or a USB interface
- Save every song’s sounds in a preset and load the whole set in one tap

Take control of your talk.
Or hand it to anyone.
Your iPhone becomes the clicker you always wanted: big buttons for exactly what your presentation needs, from anywhere in the room. Bring up a guest and their phone works too, in seconds.

Big buttons, zero fumbling
Make Next as big as your thumb wants. Label every button in your own words, and lock the screen so nothing gets tapped by accident.
One tap, the whole moment
Change the slide, start the walk-on music and cue the lights from the same button.
Ready in one tap
Pick Keynote, PowerPoint, Google Slides or ProPresenter, and the buttons build themselves: a big Next, a wide Previous you can’t miss, Black screen and more.
Every phone knows the slide
See “7 of 24” and what’s coming next on every screen, so nobody skips ahead. Works with Keynote, PowerPoint and ProPresenter.
Your own buttons
Add any button you need (a keystroke, a MIDI cue or a ProPresenter action) and choose how big it is. The screen rearranges itself so everything fits.
ProPresenter, built in
Next and previous slide, clear the screen, trigger a slide, run a macro, show a message or start a timer, straight from ProPresenter’s own network connection.
Stage Messages
“5 minutes left.”
Without waving from the back.
Send a message to the speaker, the band leader or every device at once: “Wrap up”, “Band loads in after this”, “Tell people to sit closer”. It appears right above their buttons, big enough to read at a glance, and shrinks to one line after ten seconds. Nothing pops up, nothing gets in the way, and every button keeps working.
- ·Add a countdown, and it ticks down on their screen.
- ·They tap “Got it”, and you see who’s read it.
- ·Quick messages you use every week are one tap away. Send from the Mac, the host’s phone or from anywhere.

Guest presenters are free
Everyone on the platform gets a clicker.
The speaker, the guest and the host each control the same presentation from their own phone. Every screen shows the same slide, and the host can step in at any moment.
01 · THE SPEAKER
Their own phone, their own pace. No more “next slide, please”.
02 · THE GUEST
Downloads the free app, scans your presenter-only QR code and they’re in. No account, no purchase, no setup, and no way to trigger a song by accident.
03 · THE HOST
Runs the show, sees who’s connected, and can take control back or remove a guest in one tap.
Guest presenters are free when you invite them from a Pro or Teams Link. They join on the venue’s Wi-Fi or by cable, can press their buttons, and can never edit or reset your show. Slide control runs through Midi CoPilot Link on the presenting Mac.
The safety net
Band lost?
Fade the music.
Keep the click.
It happens to every band. When a song comes apart, tap FADE and the tracks glide out smoothly while the click keeps counting in everyone’s ears. The moment the band finds its place, tap FADE again and the music rises right back in. The audience never knows.

Faders that follow your session. Move a volume in Ableton and the fader on every iPad moves with it. Put faders into fade groups and one button brings a whole section in or out together, up to three groups at once.
LiveDrop to Link
You don’t have to be there.
Your show does.
Stop driving to the venue to change one cue. Build the show on your couch, in a hotel or on the train, tap Send, and it lands on the stage Mac in seconds. Across town, across the country, across the world.
No VPN. No port forwarding. No IT department.
Made for the people who can’t be in two places at once.
THE TOURING MD
Rework tomorrow’s set from the hotel. It’s on the rig before load-in.
THE PROGRAMMER FOR HIRE
Build shows for artists and rooms you’ll never stand in. Deliver them with one tap.
MORE THAN ONE STAGE
Look after every room from one desk. Each Link has its own code.
THE LAST-MINUTE CHANGE
Setlist changed on the drive home? Fix it from the passenger seat.
The venue stays in control
The Mac asks before accepting a new sender, and a show never loads mid-performance unless someone taps Load.
Mac asleep? It waits.
Send it now and it arrives the moment the Link comes online, up to a week later.
Only the real app can send
Every delivery is signed by a genuine Midi CoPilot app. Shows are deleted from our server as soon as they arrive.
Included with Teams, and free to try for 14 days. Any show can also be shared as a file by Messages, AirDrop or email.
Get the appTeamsFor the person in charge
Every room.
One phone.
The tech director, the pastor, the venue manager: whoever’s in charge sees every Mac and every device, and can change them from the phone in their pocket. In the building, or from anywhere.
One Owner QR code. No logins to share. No laptop required.

Ryan wants to: Lock this Link to new devices
Sent from outside the venue while the show is running, so it waits for you.
DeclineAllow
See every room at a glance
Which Macs are online, which devices are connected, what MIDI went out last and which slide is up, for every Link in your organisation.
Fix it from anywhere
Lock a Link, turn on ProPresenter, make someone priority 1, block a device or load Sunday’s show on every screen, from home or from the road.
Show-safe, always
While cues are going out, changes sent from outside the building wait on the Mac for someone to tap Allow. Nobody gets surprised mid-song.
Add a Mac in seconds
New or replacement Mac? Show a code on it, scan it with your phone, done. It joins your organisation and your other Macs. Nothing to copy, nothing to type.
Lost a phone? Change the key.
One click on any Mac locks that phone out of every Link at once. Every other Mac switches by itself, even ones that were switched off.
Mac died? Restore it.
Back up a Link to one password-protected file. Restore it on a new Mac and every phone and iPad reconnects as if nothing happened.
Everything sent through the internet is sealed with your organisation’s key: our server passes it along but can’t read it or change it.

Questions
Do I need Wi-Fi?
For the Mac Link, your iPhone or iPad and Mac need the same Wi-Fi network, or a cable: a USB-C Ethernet adapter works exactly the same. On its own, the app can also send straight to your computer over Bluetooth or USB MIDI.
Which apps does it work with?
Any app that accepts MIDI, such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, MainStage and ProPresenter. In Ableton, you map cues the usual way with MIDI Map mode.
What happens if the connection drops mid-show?
A clear banner tells you straight away, and the app reconnects on its own as soon as it can, usually within a second or two. Nothing already playing is interrupted.
Can several people use it at once?
Yes. With Teams, every iPhone and iPad in your organisation joins the same show, with no extra purchase. Edits sync to everyone, and you choose who can change the show and who can only fire cues.
Which Macs does the Link run on?
Any Mac with macOS 13 Ventura or later, Apple silicon or Intel.
Does it need the internet?
No. Everything on stage runs on the venue’s own Wi-Fi, or a cable, so a dropped internet connection never stops a show. The internet only adds the extras: Drop to Link and managing your Links from anywhere.
Can a volunteer or guest mess up our show?
Not unless you let them. You approve every new device, can lock the Link to new ones, choose which device can edit, and invite guests as presenter-only: they get Next and Previous, and nothing else.
What if we lose a phone?
If it was an Owner phone, change the Owner key on any Mac. That phone is locked out of every Link at once, and your other Macs switch to the new key on their own. Any other device can be removed or blocked from the Link window.
What if our Mac dies before Sunday?
Restore your Link backup on another Mac: devices, show, presets and settings come back, and every phone and iPad reconnects by itself. Without a backup, an Owner can add the new Mac by scanning a code.
What happens after the 14-day trial?
Pro is a one-time $9.99. Without it, the app becomes a free guest presenter: anyone invited by a Pro or Teams Link can still run the slides. Devices in a Teams organisation are unlocked automatically, and nothing ever stops in the middle of a show.
Can we pay by invoice?
Yes. Teams is billed yearly on midicopilot.com, by card or on an invoice for churches, bands, venues, schools and companies. Get in touch for a quote.
