Clocks and formats

Build the hour once. Use it all week.

See how long every hour runs and what it plays before it’s scheduled, plan holidays without touching your regular week, and put the right intro or outro next to every song. That’s what your format clocks and day formats do in MusicOne.

Format clocks

A format clock that shows its numbers.

Know what an hour will do before it’s scheduled. While you build a clock, MusicOne adds up how long the hour runs and how many daily or weekly spins each category gets. The clock itself sets the order of the hour: category slots, songs fixed to a position, spot breaks and commands for your automation software.

The song you need, where you need it.

Pick a song from several categories at once. Ask for a certain tempo, sound code or gender, like an up-tempo song right after the spot break. Or play two-fers: two songs by the same artist, or hits from the same year, back to back. That’s the Song Filter.

One clock for small variations. Your clocks stay easy to manage. Restrict a single item to certain hours, like a breakfast-only jingle, instead of making a duplicate clock.

See the whole hour. Even the parts MusicOne doesn’t schedule. Don’t use MusicOne for spot breaks or imaging? Add placeholders for them anyway, with the right length. The hour then shows everything that will really air, so you can review its flow and timing, and the placeholders stay out of the exported log.

Works with your automation software. Its commands are predefined, so you add one to a clock with a single click. Also on hand: chain markers, drop and sweep, and playback options.

Rework a clock in seconds. Select several items to duplicate, copy, chain or remove them together, start a new clock from a copy of an old one, and colour-code your clocks to find them fast.

The Default week: seven days by the hours of the day, each block of hours showing its clock in that clock's colour, from Overnight and Breakfast to Weekend Daytime

Day formats

Holidays without rebuilding your week.

Plan your whole week in one view, and handle Christmas without touching it. In the Default week you assign a clock to every hour of every day. That’s what MusicOne schedules from: each day uses the matching day of your Default week.

Christmas, a sports event, a special weekend? Create a custom day format, or start one from any day of your week. Then, before you schedule that date, pick the custom format for it instead.

Production and imaging

Hit year intros and artist backsells, placed for you.

Put a linked-track slot in your clock, and MusicOne places the right production next to each song. A hit year intro before the song, say, or an artist backsell after it: whatever you link, the clock places it. Link your production tracks to an artist, a hit year, a sound code, or straight to specific songs.

Linked tracks for the 20:46 90s Gold slot in a clock: Intro switched on with the track category Hit Year Intro's, Outro switched off
Linked tracks for the 20:46 90s Gold slot in a clock: Intro switched on with the track category Hit Year Intro's, Outro switched off
