The Bleepin' Control Room

OnSong Console is a premium feature (translation: pay up, bestie) that gives you the ability to manage your OnSong library from a web browser on another computer. You can import & write chord charts to see a preview of the chord chart in real-time as you type. ZOMG, look at you being all productive! When you're done makin' changes, save it back to your device's library & pretend you didn't just spend three hours tweaking one song.

Binge-Watch Tutorial

Opening the Console screen displays a video tutorial about setting up & using console. Like, seriously, take some time to watch the video tutorial—it covers the common use patterns of the web-based application (we know you won't, but we tried). You can also peep the video tutorial, frequently asked questions (FAQ) & in the OnSong Console user manual.

Flip the Console Switch ON

If you don't have access to the Console, you're gonna get prompted to upgrade (shocking, we know). Tap on the Enable Console button at the bottom of the screen to enable Console on your device & join the cool kids club. Once you're done playin' around with Console, you can tap Disable Console if you wanna bail.

The Magic Web Address

Once enabled, a web address will pop up at the bottom of the screen under the Enable/Disable Console button. Type this into a web browser location bar to load the Console web application & watch the magic happen. Tap & hold on the web address to copy it into the clipboard (because typin' is hard). If Console can't get its act together & start, an error message appears here instead of the web address.

Okay, But Why Tho?

The toolbar at the bottom of the screen reads "Your browser may call this page 'Not Secure.' That's expected." (Spoiler: your browser's just bein' dramatic.) Tap Learn More to read why your browser's freaking out. When you close that page, a Hide This Notice prompt appears. Tap Don't Show Again to hide the notice, or Keep Showing to leave it on the screen & be reminded of your anxiety forever.

This web address can be either an IP address (four numbers between 0 & 255 separated by periods) that changes every time you switch wireless networks like some kinda unstable relationship, or a human-readable hostname with the .local suffix. Tap on the web address to toggle between both formats & confuse yourself. Since some networks & computer software doesn't permit hostnames on the local network (because why make things easy?), the IP address format is the default. If you're using an IP address, be sure you're typin' in the web address from this screen each time you use console—don't bookmark the IP address as it may change & we're not responsible for your chaos.
