Intro to the Idoru P-1 software

The Idoru software is used to create songs and arrange them into setlists to be transferred to the P-1’s SD card.

A song is typically one song in your set. On the P-1 it is a set of 16-bit, 44.1 kHz WAV files that will be played together, optionally with a MIDI file, plus the levels and routings of those WAV files to the outputs. Every song in the same setlist must have a different name. With firmware v3.27 and desktop software v2.2.16 or later, you can have up to 100 songs in a setlist.

A setlist is a collection of songs in a particular order. It also stores the levels and stereo pairing of outputs. You might use a setlist, for instance, as a set of songs prepared for one particular gig. With firmware v3.27 and desktop software v2.2.16 or later, you can store up to 10 setlists per SD card.

A session is a collection of setlists and songs that will be stored on an SD card. When you click ‘Save’ you are saving a .idoru file to your computer, which is a session stored in a format the desktop software can read. The .idoru file stores your song settings and links to your WAV and MIDI files; it does not contain copies of those files. When you click ‘Send session to P-1’ the software is exporting the session and its linked files into a format the pedal can use. See Saving and backing up sessions for the recommended workflows.
