BacklineIn Design
Patch recall for the tech side of the stage.
The patch organizer for backline gear — Kemper Profiler and Neural DSP Quad Cortex first. Per song, per device, it stores the patch recall (Bank Select + Program Change; Quad Cortex scene CC) and fires it — from a big-button, tech-facing Performance View, or automatically when Rundown changes songs.
Status: designed, not yet built. What you read here is the approved design — no vaporware promises beyond it.
What it does
- Tap a song, every device on its list gets its patch change. The side-stage tech runs the artist’s rig without a duplicate controller on stage.
- Kemper and Quad Cortex device profiles in v1; Bank MSB/LSB + PC + scene CC. No SysEx required.
- Standalone first: a guitarist who has never heard of the rest of the suite gets the whole product.
- Suite mode: Rundown advances the setlist, Backline fires that song’s recalls.
- Setlist → Kemper performance list export: your setlist programs your hardware, literally.

Plays well with
Standalone first: Backline never needs another app installed. When siblings are present, they find each other on your LAN and follow the same show.
