Oyster Live Music is an iPhone and Android performance app that combines pads, organic drums, synth layers, recallable song rigs, and global stage controls. It helps musicians bring more depth, energy, and atmosphere to live performances without turning the stage setup into a production session.

Worship leaders, music directors, keyboard players, singer-songwriters, acoustic performers, small groups, and solo musicians who want to add atmosphere, rhythm, and texture while keeping the setup compact and playable live.

Oyster Live Music is $9.99 — a single one-time purchase per platform on the App Store or Google Play. There are no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no hidden fees for the current app.

We believe musicians shouldn't pay rent on their instruments. You buy it once and it's yours. The app is designed to be a focused performance tool you own, not a service you lease.

Oyster Live Music is available for iPhone (iOS 17 or later) and Android through their respective stores. It is optimized for live performance on your phone — put it on a music stand, connect to your sound system, and play.

Yes. Oyster Live Music is available on Google Play for US$9.99. Choose Android on our download page to open the store.

Absolutely. Build sounds ahead of time during the week, save them as song rigs, and move through the set on Sunday morning with the musical foundation already prepared. Pads fill the room during prayers, transitions, and quiet moments. Drums and synth add energy when the arrangement calls for it.

Yes. It can support acoustic gigs, coffeehouse sets, restaurants, lounges, private events, rehearsals, songwriting sessions, and other small-stage settings where a musician wants more depth, pulse, or texture without overcomplicating the performance.

When you change keys, the outgoing pad fades out smoothly while the new key fades in — like GarageBand-style crossfades. There are no clicks, no pops, and no awkward silences. The room hears one continuous, breathing atmosphere throughout the key change.

Six carefully designed textures: Ambient (soft, neutral space), Warm (gentle, intimate), Deep (darker, reverent), String (emotional, cinematic), Shimmer (bright, airy), and Drone (stable, continuous). Each one is tuned for a specific emotional range in live settings.

Choose from 58 organic drum patterns with live-feel grooves. Use tap tempo to follow the song, fine-tune BPM, and trigger fills when the arrangement needs motion. Drums can run alongside pads and synth to add pulse without overwhelming the performance.

Synth layers let you add harmonic texture and movement on top of pads and drums. Choose from instruments and variations, play manually on a touch keyboard, or use sequence support when the arrangement needs another layer.

A song rig is a complete performance preset that saves everything about your current setup: pad texture, key, drum pattern, synth layer, mix levels, and stage settings. Name it after your song, and recall the entire rig in one tap when it's time to play.

Build a library of song rigs for the sets you play most. Save the sounds, keys, patterns, and levels you rely on so your repertoire is easier to recall before rehearsal or performance.

Yes. Route audio to the built-in speaker, headphones, or any connected audio device including PA systems, Bluetooth speakers, and audio interfaces. The global setup screen gives you full control over audio routing.

Global Setup includes a background-audio preference so your setup can reflect how you intend to use the app. Use the current app behavior with your own device during rehearsal before depending on any background workflow live.

Connect the same output you will use during the set, confirm the audio route, set pad, drum, and synth levels separately, then use Master Out for the final app level. Start quieter than you think you need and raise volume through the real speaker, headphones, interface, or mixer.

Global Setup includes Reload Audio Engine and Audio Route information. If you reconnect headphones, an interface, or another output and playback feels wrong, check the route and use Reload Audio Engine before relaunching the app.

Yes. Pads, Drums, Synth, Songs, and Global Setup are separated into focused modules. You can use only a pad for quiet atmosphere, add drums when the song needs pulse, add synth when a section needs lift, or save all layers together as a song rig.

Use tap tempo to match the song, choose the groove and time signature that fit the arrangement, and use intensity to move between softer and fuller parts. Fills can help mark transitions, while mixer mutes and kick depth help the drum part sit in the room.

Use module volume first, then shape the pad with LOW, MID, HIGH, Body, Presence, Air, and the global filter settings. A higher high-pass can clear space for bass, kick, or piano, while a lower low-pass can make bright pads sit back under vocals.

MainStage and DAWs are powerful production environments. Oyster Live Music is intentionally narrower: pads, drums, synth, song recall, and global controls designed for quick live use on iPhone and Android. It is for musicians who want practical performance layers without managing a complex rig.

Many pad apps focus only on ambient drones. Oyster Live Music adds drums, synth layers, song rigs, and a global mix screen so the musician can shape atmosphere, pulse, and texture from one focused performance tool.

Yes. All audio processing happens on your device. Oyster Live Music does not collect personal information, track your usage, or send your audio anywhere. See our full privacy policy for details.
