September 2026: New feature
• Custom cue colors make it easy to personalize and organize your show layout. Pick background colors for individual cues from the editing screen using Muted, Vivid, or Monochrome palettes, or clear custom colors from the Edit mode menu. Text and icon colors adapt automatically to maintain clear contrast and readability across every show mode—including Edit, Locked, Run, Zoomed, and Soundboard. You can assign random palette colors to your entire show from the Edit mode menu. We’ve also added a setting to adjust the cue list selection bar, ensuring it stays easy to see against whatever colors you choose.

• 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.

Importing Audio Files
Import audio files from:
