GigChain Keys is a live-performance host for keyboard players, in the spirit of MainStage and Gig Performer. It plays the VST3 and VST2 instruments and effects already on your computer, keeps every song of the night in a setlist with its own sounds, shows each song's chords and lyrics big enough to read from the keys, and turns those chords into notes falling onto a keyboard so you can practise them.
It is free , with no adverts, no licence keys and no nag screens. It is open source too, under the GPL.
