Go Button
Go Button creates and plays sound cue playlists for live performances on iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.
What Go Button is
Go Button creates and plays sound cue playlists for live performances on iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. It can run multiple sounds at once, advance cues with the GO button, or trigger ad-libbed sounds using Hit buttons. Each cue can be set to stop automatically, fade in or out, loop, or duck, with separate controls for volume, pan, speed, and pitch. Playback can be triggered with iOS-compatible remotes, Bluetooth keyboards and accessories, MIDI input, OSC commands, and hotkeys. Shows can be shared through AirDrop or Files, imported from iCloud Drive or Dropbox, and imported into QLab. Supported formats include WAV, AIFF, M4A, MP3, MOV, and FLAC, among others; copy-protected audio will not play. Go Button requires iOS 15 or later. Its free version costs nothing and allows one saved show playlist with all functionality and no ads or time limits. The Pro License costs $99.99, paid once as a one-time in-app purchase and allows unlimited show playlists.
