Vocal Cues Settings

This screen lets you configure what actions should be vocalized by a synthesized voice which can be useful to instruct the band what is happening if they use in-ear monitors.

  • Section will announce the selected section label or number.

  • Comments will say comments or musical instructions in text-based songs.
  • Lyrics will say the tapped line of lyrics.
  • Chords will say the name of the chord when tapped.

  • Left will announce on just the left channel.
  • Right will announce on just the right channel.
