Quick question: Does anyone know how to get Lyrics from multi tracks into proclaim and to sync with an iPad for the tracks using the playback app? I'm on an iMac M4 and the iPad is an 11" pro m4.
- Well, from what I know, Proclaim does not allow us to import lyrics from Multitracks.com. If you press on your profile on proclaim, then press "Link Your Accounts" you'll see that Proclaim so far only allows, SongSelect, Planning Center, Elvanto, and WorshipPlanning. However, you could always just copy the lyrics and the song number, credits, etc, and just add a new song into your Song Library. Now, as for syncing with like playback app, that relates to midi automation. That part is not that difficult. You have to create 2 midi notes under "Settings, MIDI Input". Then add command. Add these two commands: "Go to Service Item slide ..." and "Go to Service Item in Service section...". Then for MIDI do note on, for both, and then you have to select the note, i chose Note 19 for the first, and note 20 for the second (see image below). Now quick explanation of the 2 midi commands. The second command allows you to select the section number under the Service section on Proclaim. Cause remember, we have Pre Service, Warm Up, Service, and Post Service. So under Service, you pretty much count downward. If you start off with a song, then that's Service slide 1. Now within that song, the first command chooses the slide number of your song. You don't start with 1 there, now you start with 2, since you've already selected your first slide when selecting the service section slide. Choosing the slide numbers is all done through Playback, Ableton, Prime, etc. In proclaim you just make the Midi notes. Then you also have to create a scene under Lighting/MIDI. Edit your scene, then add the notes under there again. And make sure that your MIDI input is coming through. In Mac's it's very easy and there's many videos on how to do this online through like ProPresenter and such. It's literally the same steps on Proclaim. Assuming that's all done, you should be able to add the notes on your playback rig and then automate your slides. It's up to you to time the slide switches and stuff.
- To add to this, if you go to View > Show Service Item Indices it can help as you don't have to do the counting (for service items and individual slides)
- As far a lyrics go When I run into that issue I cut and paste them into Word and the cut and paste them into Proclaim from word.
