Hi everyone!
With all the AI sequencer projects popping up lately, I thought I'd go in a slightly different direction!
(I posted on Facebook, but I know not everyone uses that).
I've been working on a custom Remote Falcon viewer page for my own display and recently decided to make it available for anyone else who might find it useful.
Rather than just sharing the HTML, I've also built a free online template customiser (with some help from AI!) so people can personalise it for their own displays without needing to dig through the code.
I've tried to make it as customisable as possible while keeping things simple and reducing the chances of accidentally breaking something along the way.
What can you customise?
The online customiser includes:
Once you're happy with everything, simply copy or download the generated HTML and paste it into a Remote Falcon viewer page.
Give it a try here:
https://lightsonsunset.github.io/remote-falcon-template/
If you prefer editing HTML yourself, there are also ready-made Christmas and Halloween templates with instructions available to download from the website.
The customiser is easiest to use on a desktop or laptop, while the finished viewer page is designed primarily for visitors using their phones.
I'd recommend creating a separate viewer page in RF to test everything before replacing your existing page.
Credit where it's due: This originally started from Matt Orelup's Dynamic Menu template, which I've continued developing and expanding for my own display.
In true me style, I've probably gone a bit overboard with the customisation options, but it's been a fun project and a nice break from sequencing!
Hopefully someone else finds it useful too. If you give it a try and find anything broken, have questions or have suggestions, feel free to let me know.

What can you customise?
- Christmas and Halloween themes, colours, logos and seasonal artwork.
- Show names, dates, hours, FM frequency and listening instructions.
- Music category filters and NEW song sashes.
- Request, voting, confirmation and error messages.
- Countdown timers, announcements and show information.
- FAQs, playlists, YouTube links and other useful information.
- Optional donation and support cards.
The online customiser includes:
- A live preview showing how your page looks on phones, tablets and desktop.
- On-air/off-air and Jukebox/Voting previews.
- The ability to import your RF song-list CSV to preview your songs and artwork, help set up category filters and choose which songs get NEW sashes.
- A setup wizard and quick tour to help you get started.
- Settings backups so you can save your customisations and return to them later.
