For Education & Worship

One timeline locks every cue for classrooms and modern worship.

Music programs, conservatory ensembles, and weekend production teams run audio, lights, and video from a single Beat Syndrome file — so rehearsals teach the same show that ships on Sunday or at the showcase.

Three settings, one project file

Teach, rehearse, and perform from the same Beat Syndrome file.

From a first-year live-electronics lab to a 600-seat sanctuary, the timeline a student opens on Monday is the file that ships on Sunday night. Faculty grade the cue sheet instead of the cabling.

University live-electronics programs

First-year ensembles learn tempo, MIDI routing, and lighting cue writing on the same rig they'll see in industry. Lab files open in any campus studio without dongles or licensed workstations — keep the lesson plan focused on the music, not the wiring.

  • Sample-accurate BPM lock for tempo-drill exercises and ensemble sync drills
  • Native bridge to Ableton Live, TouchDesigner, Resolume, and grandMA2 — no MIDI loopback patches to maintain
  • Faculty can review a student's show file and grade it without owning the rig

Weekend production teams

Volunteer-run booth crews run five services across two campuses with one cue list per song. The director pre-builds the week from home, the booth operator hits a single spacebar, and the lighting board, lyric slides, and IMAG all stay locked to the band.

  • "Show Mode" reduces a full hour cue list to a 3-button busking console for volunteer operators
  • Cloud-rendered setlist previews let the lead pastor approve the run-of-show before rehearsal
  • Sessions auto-save between services — no "where did Saturday's cues go" reset on Sunday morning

End-of-semester showcases & recitals

Senior thesis shows, junior recitals, and electronic-music finals all need to fire reliably in front of an unfamiliar venue's house tech. Students hand over a single finished file; the LD programs the room in under an hour.

  • One finished show file travels with the performer — no lost plugin chains, no missing IA patches
  • Average production setup drops from 6.2 hours to 41 minutes, measured across 1,180 acts in 2023
  • Lowest reported CPU footprint in its class at 3.1% on an M2 MacBook Air during a 12-track set — runs on a department loaner laptop

Free for qualifying programs

Music programs, churches, and ministry production teams earning under $10,000 a year from performances run Beat Syndrome at no cost — covering roughly 62% of the active user base.

"We rebuilt our live-electronics lab curriculum around one Beat Syndrome file per student. The free education plan meant the department didn't need a single seat licence negotiation — every studio had it by Monday morning, and the seniors showed up to recital week with cues that already worked."
