Features

• Audio cues work with most standard audio file formats, including WAV, OGG, MP3 and more.
• Fade cues can change a targeted audio cue's volume and pan from one channel to the other.
• Stop cues immediately stop targeted audio cues.
• Pause/Play cues act as a toggle switch, pausing or playing the targeted audio cues depending on whether they're currently playing.
• Go to cues let you jump to another cue and optionally play it right it right away.

Other features include:
• Integration with Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox to transfer audio files to your Android device.
• Trigger cues with Bluetooth remote controls and keyboards, Flic Buttons, MIDI controllers, and OSC over Wi-Fi.
• Backup and restore shows to ZIP files.

Keyboard shortcuts:
• Up and down cursor keys to scroll through the cue list
• Space bar to trigger the Go button
• Esc to stop all running cues
• Configurable keyboard shortcuts for navigation and running cues

Importing Audio Files
Import audio files from:
• File sharing services such as Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive
• An SD card or thumb drive

We recommend Audacity, a free desktop application, for creating audio files.
