Made for real gigs
Not another generic media player.
PlayR grew out of performing several nights a week: backing tracks in one app, video in another, lighting commands somewhere else, and break music still needing separate attention.
It is built around the job itself — prepare the show, press play and trust the system on stage.
What problem does PlayR solve?
Built around the things performers actually juggle.
These are the real workflows now shaping PlayR's public-facing story.
Auto Gain
Still guessing your mic gain?
The Auto Vocal Gain workflow helps establish a more sensible starting gain on supported digital mixers from your actual live voice.
MIDI
Changing vocal presets by hand?
PlayR can send the required MIDI change automatically when the song loads or plays.
Lighting
Starting the track, then changing the lights?
Trigger compatible lighting and visual cues as part of the same song workflow.
LUFS
One backing track louder than the next?
Measure loudness, store song-specific adjustments and avoid nasty jumps in level.
Intermission
Becoming the interval DJ?
Let PlayR run a separate prepared break-music playlist with crossfades between sets.
Mixer compatibility: PlayR's mixer-integrated Smart Vocal, Auto Vocal Gain and automatic reverb/delay control currently require a supported Behringer X-Air XR-series mixer (XR12, XR16 or XR18), a Midas MR-series mixer (MR12 or MR18), or a Behringer FLOW 8. The rest of PlayR is not dependent on one of these mixers.

Questions
Frequently asked.
Is PlayR a subscription?
No. Every PlayR purchase shown here is a one-time purchase. There is no recurring PlayR subscription.
Which PlayR purchase do I need?
For Android only, choose PlayR Android. For Windows and macOS only, choose PlayR Desktop. For Windows, macOS and Android together, choose PlayR Full. Existing iPhone/iPad or Android owners can contact support with proof of purchase during the launch offer to receive a discount code for PlayR Desktop. iPhone/iPad is a separate App Store purchase.
Does PlayR Full include iPhone or iPad?
No. PlayR Full covers Windows, macOS and Android. Apple requires the iPhone/iPad edition to be purchased through the App Store, so it has its own £34.99 one-time purchase.
How many devices can I activate?
PlayR Android allows one Android activation. PlayR Desktop allows up to two active Windows/macOS devices. PlayR Full allows up to three active Windows, macOS or Android devices in any supported combination. App Store installation and restore rules apply to the iPhone/iPad edition.
How does the existing mobile-owner Desktop discount work?
If you already own PlayR on iPhone/iPad or Android, contact licensing support with proof of that purchase during the launch offer. Once verified, we can issue a discount code reducing PlayR Desktop from £44 to £24. The public PlayR Desktop price remains £44.
Can I try PlayR before buying?
Yes. Windows, macOS and Android can be downloaded without payment details and used free for 10 days. If you buy afterwards, enter the licence key into the same app — there is no need to reinstall. The iPhone/iPad edition will use the same 10-day-trial approach through the App Store.
Will PlayR work without internet during a show?
Yes. Internet is needed for purchase or initial activation where applicable, but normal show playback is designed for offline use.
Which mixers support Smart Vocal and Auto Gain?
The mixer-integrated Smart Vocal, Auto Vocal Gain and automatic reverb/delay control currently require Behringer X-Air XR12, XR16 or XR18; Midas MR12 or MR18; or Behringer FLOW 8. These mixer-specific functions are optional — PlayR's main playback, multitrack, MIDI, lighting, video/CDG, Show Mode and Intermission workflows do not require one of those mixers.
What is the current iPhone/iPad status?
The iPhone/iPad edition has been submitted to Apple. The website will add its App Store link after Apple approves and releases it.
