The Canvas Clock is a tempo and setlist manager by Walrus Audio. Using the companion Canvas app, you can create a Canvas Clock that contains songs, setlists, BPM, time signatures, and MIDI macro definitions. Settings are saved as a JSON file that you can export from the app and import back after making changes.
- Songs: store a name, BPM, and metronome time signature.
- Setlists: order songs for shows or services.
- MIDI Macros: assign quick actions or default time signatures to macro slots.
