SetlistManager!
This software allows you to create any number of set lists for Native Instruments KORE 2. A set list consists of a number of KORE Performances in your preferred order. You can switch (load) to the next or previous performance or directly select a performance (also via Midi CC).
How to use
- Unzip the files to any folder you prefer. There is no further installation required.
- Start KORE
- Start the SetlistManager!: SetlistManager.exe
- Choose Add from the Performance menu.
- Navigate to the directory which contains the performances you want to add to your set list.
- Select the performances you want to add to the set list. Note that you can select more than one performance by holding down the CTRL key. Also note that you can performances from other directories you just have to call up the Add function again.
- If you accidently added a wrong Performance simply choose Remove.
- You can also add dividers (Performance -> Add Divider) to sum up the time length column.
- Arrange the performances in your preferred order by choosing Move Up and/or Move Down from the Performance menu.
- Save your newly created Setlist by choosing Save from the File menu. SetlistManager! automatically reloads the last loaded set list at start up.
- Now you can call up a specific Performance by double clicking it with the left mouse key.
- Switch to the next Performance in order by pressing the Space key on your computer keyboard.
- Switch to the previous Performance in order by pressing the Space key on your computer keyboard and holding down the CTRL key.
Live gigging tips
- To switch Performances via Midi choose the Midi Device from the Midi In menu from which you want to receive the commands. Then open up the Midi Performance Switch Options dialog from the Extras menu. Set the Midi Channel on which to receive the commands and the Midi CC message number for switching to the next/previous Performance.

For optimal live gigging press F11 to run SetlistManager! in full screen mode:
The highlighted Performance in the center shows the current loaded Performance. Above it is the previous and below it the next Performance.
- The full screen mode can display an image (e.g. which shows lyrics or notes). The image is displayed in the left upper corner. The image must be located in the same directory as the Performance file and must have the ending png. E.g. if you have a Performance file MySong.kpe you can place an image MySong.png in the same directory. You do not have to provide images for each Performance.
- Don't forget that you still can combine using Performance changing with Performance presets for the best of both worlds.
- Add the length of a song by choosing Edit from the Performance menu. By doing this and addubg dividers you can quickly see how long your set will be.
Technical notes
- The progress bar above the set list is just a faked indicator that something happens. There's no way to know the time KORE will need to load a performance. I adjusted the value to a time that suits most of my performances.
- The .set files are simple text files which contain the absolute path of a performance in each line. So if you for example move your performance folder you can adjust the paths in the .set file with a text editor.
- The full screen window of SetlistManager! is running as Always On Top which means other windows are hidden behind this window. If SetlistManager! seems to be frozen during loading a performance, close it (ESC or F11) and check if KORE opened up a dialog.
- SetlistManager! is implemented by using AutoHotkey. Thanks to all the people on the AutoHotkey forums who provide great help!
