An Interface Designed for Performance

- These are the views and the layout used most often during a live performance.
- It's always easy to see what's coming up: songs, cues, tempos, instrument changes
- The current position indicator remains in the center of the display.
- Tracks may be color-coded.
- Most views may be zoomed both horizontally and vertically.
- You may choose to open and work with individual files, or "sets" of songs as used for a performance.
Metronome Display

- The current beat number is always prominently displayed. The current measure number is also emphasized.
- A "bouncing ball" metronome may be used to assist you with conducting in slow or tempo-dynamic passages.
- A "tempo ratio" control allows you to make real-time adjustments to the tempo during performance; use your keyboard's pitch wheel to control it.
- Quick-transpose buttons
- All commands critical during a performance may be mapped to your MIDI keyboard and/or PC keyboard
Cues

- Cues are color-coded for quick recognition.
- This example shows a Vamp (repeat until cued), a "Cola Voce" section (the conductor follows the singer beat-by-beat), and a Caesura (stop until cued).
- The fermata cue pauses all sounding notes until cued.
- The skip cue allows you to skip music without permanently deleting it.
- Jump to cues anywhere in the song without missing a beat.
- Cues provide for non-linear sequencing, which makes for a more dynamic and musical performance.
Karaoke

- MIDI Maestro may also be used as a virtual "Karaoke machine" complete with bouncing ball or highlighted text.
- Support for external-monitor, full-screen mode with background graphics and pagination for professional "PowerPoint-like" presentations, perfect for worship services or educational use.
- The Lead-Sheet view combines staff notation with karaoke to emulate a "fake book"
