Do Stuff & Things

Most stuff you do is quick & fleeting. Press a button. Tap the screen. Scroll down. Toggle tracks. Y'know, the usual. BUT—OnSong gets saucy when you hook up a MIDI Control Change, Note Event, or some fancy analog gadget like an expression pedal. Then things get spicy. You can actually twist knobs & slide dials to adjust parameters—usually 0-100%, but hey, maybe there's extra weirdness too.

Wanna see all the variable actions that aren't crammed into each section? Peep the Variable Actions That Are Hiding Somewhere. Plus, once you pick a variable action, a lil' wrench icon pops up in the bottom right corner. Tap that bad boy & you can tweak settings for your variable action, including:

Show Me What's Happenin' On-screen

Decides whether OnSong will flash info on your screen as you're tweakin' stuff. Like, when you're crankin' up the volume, it'll show you the percentage so you're not just wishin' & hopin'.

Flip It Upside Down

Reverses the signal comin' from your variable input. Say you're scrollin' & want it backwards—this flips things so 0% = fully scrolled down, & 100% = scrolled way up. Chaos, but like, the fun kind.

Go Full Absolute Mode

Decides how values get sent out into the void. MIDI Control Changes are 0-127, right? If you use absolute values, OnSong sends 2 through 127 as-is—great if you're tryna target a specific section by number. But the default's off, which means everything's relative (0-100%). So OnSong picks a section based on how many sections actually exist in your song—100% = last section, 0% = first section. It's like magic, except it works.
