CommandGO is a show-ready music player and lighting trigger for the CommandGO hardware unit. Build cue markers on a waveform, send OSC cues on time, and run your whole show from one clear screen. Highlights: Perform mode: Big GO/STOP, elapsed & remaining timers, show list, and a 3×3 grid of Quick Cues with custom labels and colors. Edit mode: See the waveform, add/rename cue markers, jump to previous/next cues, and fine-tune timing with a simple slider. Precise OSC triggers: Fire cues at markers or tap any Quick Cue—CommandGO sends the OSC message immediately over your local network. Shows & songs: Organize tracks into shows, save markers to disk, and reload your set in seconds. Low-latency feel: Optional latency adjustment to match your environment. Fast and reliable: Works fully offline. No sign-in. No cloud. Just your device and your CommandGO unit. Requirements: Lighting control features require a CommandGO hardware unit on the same local network. OSC is sent via UDP to the IP/port you configure in the app. Privacy: CommandGO does not collect personal data. Settings (like IP/port), shows, and markers are stored locally on your device. Support & Manual: Manual, tips, and hardware purchase: commandgo.net Run the show. Hit GO. CommandGO handles the rest.
