If you are a technician with riders read this tutorial.
Tutorial for venue users, promoters, A/V companies…
Reading time: under 4 minutes.
GOAL: make sure the rider you received is the valid one, no matter what.
Or simply answer why did I end up on this page?
Why am I here?
You received a rider with a new seal and a that brought you to Kinosonik Riders.
Or you got here because instead of a PDF, you received a URL link.
Before signing up, you just want to know what on earth this site actually gives you. Welcome.
Kinosonik Riders is, basically, a technical rider manager where end users also have their place.
To access all the advantages of this platform, you simply need to sign up — completely free.
Rider viewing
Via URL or using the printed on the seal of the first page, you will always reach the same place.
We call this page View, and it is your main operations hub.
Here you can not only re-download the PDF, but also access much more information.
All riders you visit while logged in will appear in the Riders viewed section.
No more digging through emails or wondering which WhatsApp thread had that rider.
Tip: if a rider “disappears” when you return, it means the owner removed it. That alone already tells you something.
At the top of the View page you will find the rider ID, its description, and the reference written by the owner.
The key element is the small green seal , which means the rider you are seeing is valid at this very moment.
The Publication date shows when the rider was published; by default, it will expire after a maximum of two years.
At Kinosonik Riders we don’t let riders live forever (we know riders are alive!).
Technical contact
This is the owner’s contact: full name and email address.
Optionally, a phone number can be added. One click and you’re in touch.
The icon takes you straight to the PDF.
Rider subscription
Enable I want to receive notifications if this rider changes status.
From that moment on, you will be informed in real time about any change related to this rider. We’ll email you if it’s removed, expires, or a new version is published. Free of charge.
Tip: before wasting time on calls, emails, or messages, come back to Kinosonik Riders and make sure you have the latest rider.
Additional rider information
Owners must validate their riders before making them public.
At Kinosonik Riders we developed our own heuristic AI, reinforced with GPT-4o-mini, specifically for this purpose.
We have analyzed — and continue to analyze — hundreds of riders to detect common issues, omissions, and risks.
Only riders that pass a certain threshold receive the validation seal .
Tip: owners with sealed riders don’t just pay a subscription — they invest time and effort into improving their documents. Treat them accordingly.
In the Key decisions section you’ll find relevant information detected by the AI.
For example: whether the band travels with sound or lighting technicians, or if significant production cost increases were detected.
Integrity verification
The Verify your copy (integrity) section is a powerful tool that protects you, the owner, and Kinosonik Riders.
Each PDF generates a unique SHA-256 hash. Any modification, even minimal, produces a different one.
You can compare the PDF you received with the one stored in our database.
Optionally, you can upload your PDF to check whether it has been modified.
Warning
If a sealed PDF does not match the one in our database, you can consider it not the original.
Contact the owner.
Rider feedback
Whenever you want, you can rate the real-world experience between the received rider and the show or event day.
This is not about judging the band or technical staff, but comparing the document with reality.
This helps improve the overall quality of riders.
If other users have already rated the rider, you’ll see the average score.
All messages are reviewed by an administrator before being published.
Rider review
In the Diagnostic section, you can analyze any rider free of charge.
The system uses the same AI-powered heuristic analysis engine developed by Kinosonik Riders to examine the content of the documents.
Upload the rider (PDF, maximum 10 MB). The system will first check whether the document is already part of our database.
The PDF is stored temporarily on our servers and analyzed automatically. In the meantime, you can continue browsing as usual.
At the bottom of the page, you will see the uploaded documents along with their analysis status. You will have access to the results for 24 hours.
Once the process is completed, you can review the diagnostic and download it in JSON format.
PDFs and reports are automatically deleted after 24 hours, with no copies retained, to ensure our privacy standards.
