Different formats throughout the day
Prepare named schedules with active hours and their own music patterns. Mornings, daytime and nights can use different sequences of categories, station IDs and musical intensity.
Music and programming / AURA
Scheduler for music planning and your station's format
You shape the format. Scheduler selects music according to your rules.
Scheduler turns the station's musical concept into song selection rules. Define the category sequence, song counts, jingles, sweepers and desired tempo changes. The candidate preview shows what your rules produce from the existing library. Playout then uses the prepared sources to refill the queue for live shifts and AI-presented programming throughout the day and night.
SPECIFIC CAPABILITIES
What you can do.
A sequence of music, jingles and sweepers
A pattern builds a sequence of steps with category song counts and ratings, plus files from jingle or sweeper folders. Arrange the step order to suit the station's sound.
Blending music categories
Combine several sources within a step and define relative shares. Preview songs before saving to see how varied the selection is and whether it matches the intended format.
Smart editorial rules
MUST and MUST NOT set conditions, while PREFERRED and AVOID change priority. Rules use the catalogue and available analytical tags, with a preview of the possible candidate count.
Tempo curve
Draw the desired BPM range across a song cycle and preview a simulation. Range-widening and maximum-jump settings help adapt selection to the available music and desired dynamics.
Gradual rollout
Review rules in trial Shadow mode, then activate them for new generation. Save prepared queues and pass them to Playout for use at its next refill.
