Pin app feature

SoundsReal contains a pin app feature accessible from the setting screen. You might want to use this feature to ensure you that the app won’t be closed while performing. On Android it will pin the app so you can’t close the app without doing a specific pattern with your back button (Android will display how to do it). On iOS you can use Guided Access to pin the app, everything is explained while you activate the feature in the SoundsReal.

Performance Mode screen – Playing your Tricks

The Performance Mode screen is where you can play your Tricks. I recommend you to use a blueooth controller (pure BLE or volume / “selfie” controller) to launch your trick. You can find every informations about it on the Controller explanation page.

This screen allows you to play your Tricks by launching one after the other the actions from these Tricks. Every actions played will be displayed so you can visually know where you are exactly.

You can add as many actions as you want for each tricks you have created.

• Add audio action : play the selected audio from start to finish

• Wait for button input action : This action is really useful while performing live. It waits for the press of a button (controller button or volume button) to release the next played Trick actions.
