Go Button
What Go Button is
Go Button creates and plays sound cue playlists for live performances on iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. It can play several sounds at the same time, advance through a sequence with the GO button, or trigger ad-libbed sounds with Hit buttons. For each cue, users can set automatic stopping, fades, looping, or ducking, and adjust volume, pan, speed, and pitch independently. Playback can be controlled with compatible iOS remotes, Bluetooth keyboards and accessories, MIDI input, OSC commands, or hotkeys. Shows can be shared through AirDrop or Files, imported from iCloud Drive or Dropbox, and brought into QLab. Supported audio includes WAV, AIFF, M4A, MP3, MOV, and FLAC, among other formats; copy-protected audio is not supported. Go Button requires iOS 15 or later, and system alerts such as calls or texts may interrupt playback. The Free Version costs nothing and allows one saved playlist. The Pro License is $99.99, paid once, billed as a one-time in-app purchase, for unlimited playlists.
