TTS Announcements

Text-to-speech (TTS) announces the current song or step name through your earpiece during performance. Useful when navigating songs hands-free with a foot pedal or when using auto-advance with song steps.

Song Announcements

When enabled, Gigmeister speaks the song title as you advance through a setlist. This is especially helpful when:

• Navigating with a foot pedal and you can’t look at the screen
• Playing in dim lighting where the screen is hard to read
• Using in-ear monitors where a spoken cue is more natural than a visual one

Enabling

1. Go to Settings > Preferences
2. Toggle Song Announcements on

Once enabled, every time you advance to a new song in a setlist, the title is announced.

Step Announcements

When using song steps with auto-advance, Gigmeister can announce the upcoming step name before it arrives. This gives you a heads-up that a section change is coming.

Enabling

1. Go to Settings > Preferences
2. Toggle Step Announcements on

Announcement Styles

Choose how step announcements are delivered:

Style	Behavior
Step name only	Speaks the step name (e.g., “Chorus”)
Count-in then step	Counts in (“3, 2, 1”) then speaks the step name
Step then countdown	Speaks the step name then counts down

Per-Step Override

Each individual step can override the global announcement setting:

• Follow global setting — Uses whatever you configured in preferences
• Always announce — This step is always announced, even if global announcements are off
• Never announce — This step is never announced, even if global announcements are on

Configure this in the step editor under the Announce toggle.

Audio Output

TTS announcements play through your device’s default audio output. If you’re using in-ear monitors, the announcements come through your earpiece alongside click tracks and backing tracks.

Note

TTS uses your device’s built-in speech synthesis. No internet connection is required for announcements — they work fully offline.
