SimplePlay2000 — Features in depth

Two views. One app. Zero alt-tab.

Whatever you're driving, the other half remains accessible in the side panel. So a cue is always one keystroke from a playlist, and vice versa.

SimplePlay2000 — Cues view, with the active playlist mirrored in the side panel — CUES Cue grid in front. Playlist standing by in the side panel.

DIVACues OR playlist, not both. Firing a cue stops the playlist; starting the playlist stops the cue. Right for shows where one thing should hold the room at a time.
DUETCues AND playlist together. Drop a sting or a sound effect over a running music bed without interrupting the bed.

Cues, the way operators actually fire them.

Every key on the top four rows of your keyboard is a cue. Number row for the favorites, letter rows for the rest. Multiple pages when one grid isn't enough. Solo to fire one at a time, Mix to layer them. Of course your MIDI board is welcome as well.

SimplePlay2000 — the cue grid, 8 columns by 4 rows, with one cue mid-play

32 CUESOne per key. Top four rows of your keyboard — number row + Q-I + A-K + Z-, — fire the 32 cues on the page.
PAGESRun out of cues? Hit + at the bottom of the grid and start a new page. Up to 10 pages, each its own 32-cue layout, flip between them mid-show.
SOLOInside the cue grid: one cue plays at a time. Firing a new one immediately triggers. Right for stings, walk-ups, anything that shouldn't stack.
MIXInside the cue grid: cues stack. Layer crowd noise under an announcement, or run a bed loop while triggering one-shots over the top — all at once.

Four armed cues, MIX on, C button ready — **Before:** four armed cues. MIX on. C button ready.

All four cues firing at once after clicking C — **After:** one click of C, all four fire at the same time.

CCommon transport. Arm any combination of cues first, then click C — every armed cue fires at the same time.

Run the playlist from the space bar.

Flip the playlist to STEP mode and one key drives the whole set — built for the booth, when your eyes belong on the room.

SimplePlay2000 STEP function — tap the space bar once to play the next cue and move through the show one cue at a time

Voice overs, on the fly. Surgical edits, in the moment.

Every announcement, its own remote.

Each slot carries its own volume, pre-roll silence, post-roll silence, music fade time, and ducking depth — so a stage cue and a fire-drill cue can sit next to each other without you re-balancing every time.

An announcement slot showing volume, pre-roll, post-roll, fade, and duck controls

VOLPlayback level for this slot only — the room's loud talker doesn't need the same volume as a whisper-soft pre-show note.
PRELead-in silence before the VO. Give the duck a chance — let it drop the music down before the voice ever comes in.
POSTSilence after, before the music ramps back. Let the moment land.
FADEHow fast the music ducks down and back up around the announcement.
DUCKHow far down the music goes — 80% by default, anywhere from "barely there" to full silence.
ATAApply to All — push one slot's settings to every announcement.
