Band Sync · up to 8 iPhones and iPads

Five players,
five tempos. One click.

Band Sync turns RhythmRamp into a band metronome. One player leads and every bandmate’s iPhone or iPad follows: start, stop and tempo changes land on the same downbeat.

Device to device, not cloudThe band’s devices talk to each other directly, over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Starts, stops and tempo changes never pass through a cloud server.

Up to 8 devicesOne leader plus seven players, each on their own iPhone or iPad.

A five-piece band: $24.95$4.99 per player, once. No per-seat subscription, no hardware to buy.

How it works

Count the band in.

One device keeps time for the room. Everyone else follows it, so there’s nothing to line up by ear.

  1. Everyone opens RhythmRamp

    Each player on their own iPhone or iPad, on the same Wi-Fi, with Bluetooth on.

  2. One player leads

    Tap the Band Sync button, then Lead. The leader’s device keeps time for everyone.

  3. The band joins

    Everyone else taps Join and picks the leader from the list. Join before the leader starts.

  4. The leader plays

    Start, stop, tempo and song changes reach every device. A new tempo lands on the next downbeat.

Setlists

Your whole set, mapped.

Build the night once: tempo, time signature, accents, clave and count-off for every song. On stage, the leader taps Next and the whole band moves to the next tune together.

  • Leader-only song changes, so nobody skips ahead.
  • Share a setlist with the band by AirDrop or Messages.
  • Start Anyway if one phone is slow to lock in.

Who it’s for

Anywhere more than one person keeps time.

Rehearsal

Start together, stay together, and skip the argument about whether the bridge rushed. Push the tempo up as the tune comes together.

Sectionals and lessons

A teacher leads up to seven students, everyone on headphones. The room stays quiet, and the tempo is the teacher’s call.

The gig

Run the setlist straight through. The leader moves the band from tune to tune, each at its own tempo, with no numbers called out between songs.
