Invite-only Alpha for recital teams

Run recitals with less stress.

Devant brings local-first playback control and clear backstage visibility into one operator workspace, so your team can focus on performances instead of logistics.

Alpha invitations are reviewed individually. Installer links are sent directly to invited participants.

"When I press play, does it start exactly when expected?"

"Will track behavior match what I set at the end of each routine?"

"Can backstage stay in sync without interrupting the booth?"

Why Devant

A practical upgrade from patched-together playback

Playback flow designed for recital timing, not generic music listening
One workspace for order, cue notes, and behavior control per routine
Local-first playback for venues with unreliable internet
Backstage visibility without handing out booth controls
Cleaner transitions with fewer last-second surprises
Lower stress for operators running the full show stack

Recital Workflow

From file scramble to show-day calm

1. Build the running order

Create playlists, add cue notes, and lock in a clear run flow before show time.

2. Check and prepare before doors open

Run readiness checks early so booth operators are not discovering issues in front of families.

3. Run with recital-safe controls

Use one-shot by default, with auto-next, loop, and transition replay only where your show needs them.

4. Keep staff and chaperones aligned

Share read-only now and next information through the cloud when internet is available, or on the local show network when it is not.

Prepare before doors open

Know what is ready before the audience arrives.

Build the running order, review track behavior, and prepare source media in the same workspace you will use at the show.

  • Analyze source audio and see readiness information before rehearsal or recital.
  • Prepare and normalize supported tracks without changing the original source file.
  • Keep cue notes, metadata, and per-track playback choices beside the running order.

Operator Control

Deterministic playback in cue-critical moments

  • Play, stop, and progression behavior designed to match live expectations
  • Per-track playback behavior for routine-specific control
  • Track notes and cue context where operators need it
  • Local-first playback that does not depend on a cloud round trip during an event
  • Clear handoff between rehearsal and recital operation

Backstage Clarity

More information with less booth interruption

  • Read-only now/next visibility through Cloud or Local Offline Only hosting
  • Live status view built for staff, chaperones, teachers, and directors
  • Shared timing context that cuts repeat "where are we?" questions
  • Booth controls stay private while backstage stays informed

Rehearsal mode

Teach each section in the same workspace that will run the recital.

Rehearsal mode gives instructors a focused way to teach, repeat, and refine a section without turning practice into a live-show run.

  • Start from the top of a track or a named checkpoint for an entrance, transition, or section to revisit.
  • Use the waveform and checkpoint tray to review timing and return to the right place quickly.
  • Keep automatic progression out of rehearsal so instructors can pause, give feedback, and choose when to move on.

Track-level control

Set the behavior and context for every routine.

A running order is more useful when every track carries the playback behavior and cue information the booth actually needs.

Playback options

Choose what happens after the music ends.

Set each routine to one-shot, loop, or auto-next. Operators can use normal or transition playback when the moment calls for a different level and handoff.

Track notes and metadata

Keep the details next to the routine.

Store performance numbers, class and choreographer details, staging notes, and booth or viewer notes beside the track instead of scattering them across separate documents.

Backstage clarity

Let the room follow the show without interrupting the booth.

The read-only Backstage Viewer gives staff and chaperones a clear view of what is playing, what is next, and where the show is headed.

  • Share a protected cloud room by link, room code, and optional PIN.
  • Use the Local Offline Viewer when an event needs to stay on its own network.
  • Keep playback control in the booth while the rest of the team stays informed.
