The Song List
Important! If you haven't yet loaded songs into Helix Stadium, read Creating a Song in the Helix Stadium App first!
From the main Song screen, tap the current song's name at the top of the display to open the Song List screen. The Song List lets you search, load, play, manage, and organize all your songs and playlists. You can also create playlists that reference the song files in your SONG LIBRARY folder, making it easy to manage their playback order and behaviors for your sets, rehearsals, and jams.
Search Songs: Tap the Search Songs field and enter your search terms to filter the selected SONG LIBRARY folder or playlist songs listed in the center column.
SONG LIBRARY Folder: This is your main folder, containing all your saved song files (up to 512, depending on song length, number of tracks, and the size of your microSD card).
Playlists: Up to 127 playlists can be added to create collections of "aliases" of your original SONG LIBRARY files. Playlists are much like those in Spotify or Apple Music---they don't contain the song files themselves but instead "collect" songs in a certain order for playback. Up to 127 song aliases can be added to a playlist.
Important! Note that, once you edit and save changes to a Song (adding flags, editing flag parameters, changing tempo, etc.), those changes are reflected in all playlist instances of the song. Deleting a song from the SONG LIBRARY folder will remove all alias instances of the song from playlists. However, clearing songs from a playlist will not delete the original reference song file from the SONG LIBRARY folder.
Song Column: All songs within the selected SONG LIBRARY or playlist folder appear in this column.
-
Swipe up and down to scroll, and tap a song once to cue it.
-
Double-tap a song in the Song List to load it and exit to the main Song screen. If the previous song was already playing, the new song starts playback on load; if playback was not active, the new song loads but does not start playing automatically.
Current Song Indicator: The currently loaded song displays a white speaker icon 
.
End of Song: Tap a song's End of Song icon to the right of the song name, and the End of Song panel appears. The selected action determines the behavior when playback reaches the end of the current song, as described below.
Note: Changing the End of Song action is the same as setting the End of Song parameter for the song's End Flag. This icon also appears in the End Flag's inspector header.
-
Pause (default): The song pauses at the end and does nothing, maintaining the current preset or snapshot. Pressing Play then loads the next song's assigned preset/snapshot or any other flags at the very beginning of the timeline (if any) and immediately starts song playback. -
Play Next: The next song (with any assigned preset/snapshot) starts automatically; if the last song is set to "Play Next," the playlist repeats, and Song 1 plays.^*^ -
Cue Next: Similar to Pause at End, except it preloads the next song's preset/snapshot or any other flags at the very beginning of the timeline (if any) and waits for a play command to start playback. If the last song is set to "Cue Next," the playlist repeats, and Song 1 is cued, awaiting a Play command. -
Repeat: The current song automatically restarts from the beginning. -
Cue Same: Returns to the beginning of the current song and preloads its initial preset/snapshot or any other flags at the beginning of the timeline (if any), but waits for a Play command to start playback.
^*^Important! Stadium won't nag you with pop-up dialogs constantly reminding you to save a song before loading another.Just remember always to save your current song to retain any edits you've made before another is loaded!
