Wasabi Prompter

A stage teleprompter for musicians: tough as a stompbox, smart as your phone.

Paper is unreadable on a dark stage. An iPad on a mic stand is too small and shows you notifications mid-song. Dedicated prompters are reliable because they're dumb – no network, no sync, no idea what you're playing next. Wasabi Prompter is a box as tough as theirs, running real software.

Built by a musician who has been on stage since 1991 – and who forgot the lyrics on the main stage of Tallinn Rock Festival. Never again.

Phone before. Feet during. Nothing after.

Scan the QR code on the screen and the setlist opens on your phone – no app to install. On stage, a three-button foot pedal does everything: back, start of song, forward. You never touch the device.

Out of the box: pick a language with the pedal, join Wi-Fi from your phone, scan one QR – and your first setlist appears on the screen. Estonian or English, and even setup works with your feet.

Made for the stage

  • Read it in half a second. No scrolling – the page jumps on a pedal press. Text size is set in millimetres of letter height and fits the screen automatically.
  • Dark stage or open-air sun. Seven high-contrast colour schemes and a choice of stage fonts. Set it once, from your phone or the pedal.
  • Knows your set. Warns you before the song that needs a retune. The song number pulses at the song's tempo, so the drummer can count it in.
  • Plays without internet. The show never depends on the network or a licence. Lose Wi-Fi and the display carries on.
  • Updates that can't ruin a gig. Signed, never automatic, frozen from 48 hours before a gig, and rolled back automatically if the post-update health check fails.
  • Dials out, never in. No inbound connections from the internet, ever. Every device has its own identity and key.

The hardware

22" 1920×1080 industrial display, 350 nits, in a rugged case designed for a locking powerCON TRUE1 mains inlet. The pedal plugs into the back. Inside, a single native renderer draws straight to the screen – no browser in between.

Better with MyBand

MyBand is where the setlist lives; the prompter is where it's played. Optional: link the device to your band and your setlists, lyrics and upcoming gigs sync automatically. Coming next: multiple screens with role-based views – singer, guitarist and keys each see their own part – and MIDI song switching.
