Guides
Short walkthroughs, in the order most people need them. Each one is a job: read it once, do the thing, and come back to the reference when you need the detail.
Start here
Your first show
Install it, open the demo, put your own sound in a cue, and save the file.
Building a cue list
Numbering, notes, groups, waits and fades, and the timing that makes a sequence run itself.
Working with sound
Levels, fades, trims, loops and vamps, and where the channels land on the device.
Running the show
GO, stop, what the bar at the top is telling you, and what to check before the house opens.
Around the cue stack
The cue stack is the free app and always will be — and so is being driven by one: OSC and MIDI in, and the monitor that shows what arrived. These are the parts that run the rest of the rig; the desk, the radios, the tablet and the second machine are part of what a key turns on.
Firing cues from a console
Let a lighting desk, a sound desk or a footswitch press GO, and see what arrives.
Working with other programs
Video through an OSC cue, lights through the desk or MSC, and the buttons that fire a cue.
Scenes and the desk
Which channels ride which fader, scene by scene, and how a recall writes it.
Watching the radio mics
The plot, the batteries, the alarm before one dies mid-line, and the report afterwards.
Following the script
The script beside the cue list, cues pinned to their lines, and the same view on a tablet.
A backup machine
A second computer on the same show, ready to pick it up mid-cue.
Versions and handover
What each save changed, comparing two versions, merging two people's work, and the show as one file.
Looking something up?
The reference has every cue type and field, every setting, the keyboard table, the OSC and MIDI messages Cuerunner answers to, the script helpers, the file formats, and what to do when something is wrong.
