🎸 You're On (No Pressure!)

Playing live uses all of your concentration & usually most of your limbs as well. (RIP your dignity.) Triggering events for live performance needs to be easy. The live bar in OnSong is designed to provide BIG OL' buttons for controlling live performance events, plus a visual status of each function so you can pretend you know what you're doing.

Tapping on a live bar button starts or stops its function. Tapping & holding on a live bar button will open a menu allowing you to configure properties. (Ooh, fancy.) The following buttons can be contained in the livebar. You can also turn these buttons on or off in the Hamburger Menu » Editors » Navigation » Screen Tab. You can also accomplish this in Settings » Live Settings » Live Bar » On-Screen Buttons. (We hid it in like three places because we love you.)

The live bar consists of:

Audio

The audio live bar button is used to start, pause or stop backing tracks. (Finally, something to hide behind.) Tap & hold to choose a different track, or to link to a custom track from your iTunes Music library. (Your questionable taste in music is now amplified for everyone.)

Autoscroll

Playing live necessitates using all your hands, feet, & fingers. But what if your chord chart is longer than the screen can contain? Autoscroll provides a solution by slowly scrolling the chord chart from top to bottom over a duration. (Magic. Basically.)

Metronome

Playing with a click track is great for practice, or to get your band started on a song. (It's basically a digital drill sergeant.) The metronome in OnSong stores the BPM for each song letting you start at the right tempo every time. (You're welcome. You still won't stay on beat, but at least we tried.)

Networking

OnSong can be used to share & stream what's on your screen wirelessly to your team. (Because misery loves company.) The networking livebar button lets you turn sharing on & off. (Hide your mistakes. We won't judge. Much.)
