There is currently no technology other than Caedence that allows musicians to customize, sync, display, and manage all aspects of a performance – including charts and notation – across different devices in real time. In fact, Caedence is patented – US11086586B1.

Since Caedence is 100% browser-based, there is no software to download or hardware required – just an internet connection and a modern browser. Harnessing this power, Caedence lets musicians control audio, MIDI, stage visuals, and display elements synced in the cloud – across different devices.

One teacher in Minneapolis Public Schools used Caedence in his diversely-skilled high school guitar ensemble class to display many different kinds of chord shapes and tablatures. Since all students could choose what they wanted to see on their own devices, every student, regardless of skill level or learning style, was able to play along with the ensemble.

Needless to say, this story gets at the heart of what Caedence is designed to do – help all people come together so they can play, collaborate, and create.
