genuinely, thank you. this kind of blew up and i did not see it coming. the first post almost hit 700 upvotes, and Segue just passed 5,000 downloads in under 72 hours 🙏 (first post here if you missed it: Forza Reddit Post

massive shoutout to the guy who made this reel showing it off, it went completely insane, 80k likes lol. a huge part of why we're here right now: Instagram Reel

quick recap for anyone new: Segue is a free app that controls your music based on what's happening in the game. it's ban-safe, not a mod, never touches the game. no game files, no editing, no injection. it just reads Forza's official Data Out telemetry and controls your music app's volume. that's it.

music ducks on its own when there's dialogue, drops under ANNA and mission voices then ramps back, real speech detection not a timer. auto volume by game state, full while driving, quiet in menus. and you control it from your DualSense touchpad: swipe volume, swipe skip, tap pause. d-pad, xbox, keyboard, wheel all work too, all rebindable.

what's been added since launch:

more music sources

- Apple Music

- local files: VLC, Windows Media Player, foobar2000, MusicBee, AIMP, and more

- any browser: YouTube, web players, etc

controls

- full rebind menu with proper PlayStation button icons

- skip tracks even with the game closed, just listening

overlay

- now-playing + volume overlay you can drag anywhere, with preset positions

ducking

- speech-ducking sensitivity slider

app quality

- auto-update with a customizable banner and version label

- close to tray

- built-in update check

fixes

- startup-crash fix

- high-DPI / multi-monitor click accuracy

- various layout and stability fixes

the Ko-fi goal also got smashed and i'm putting all of it straight into code signing, so windows stops false-flagging the app for everyone. genuinely grateful, it's all going right back into the app.

lots more on the way: new music sources, smarter voice-chat ducking, deeper controller support (plays nice with trigger mods + DSX), and a big performance pass. soon.

still free and still early in development. lmk if anything breaks 🙏

EDIT: We've reached over 1500 downloads, the support has been insane. thank you all 🙏 more coming.

BAN SAFE - built a free app that controls your music based on what's happening in the game. it's called Segue.

it's not a mod and never touches the game, no game files, no editing, no injection. it just reads Forza's official Data Out telemetry and controls your music app's volume. that's it.

what it does:

• music ducks on its own when there's dialogue. drops under ANNA and mission voices, then ramps back. real speech detection, not a timer
• auto volume by game state, full while driving, quiet in menus
• control it from your DualSense touchpad: swipe volume, swipe skip, tap pause. or d-pad. xbox/keyboard/wheel work too, all rebindable
• now-playing overlay, works with spotify, apple music, or browser audio

being honest: built mainly around PS5 and PS4 controllers, that's where it's best. xbox, keyboard and sim wheel are supported but barely tested and can be buggy. speech detection runs a model in the background so it uses some cpu. fixing over time.

setup's quick: enable Data Out in Forza's settings, then bind your controls in the app (it walks you through it).

free and still early in development, lmk if anything breaks.

Also just released v1.1.1 which includes support for Apple music and fixed a massive ui bug people were experiencing.

always felt like the touchpad was wasted, so i built a free app that uses it to control your music while you game on your PC.

• swipe up/down → volume
• swipe left/right → skip track
• tap → pause/play

works with spotify or browser audio (youtube etc), and you can rebind everything. no alt-tabbing, just your controller.

it also does smart stuff in games with dialogue (auto-ducks the music when someone talks, could be useful for story games), but honestly the touchpad remote is the part i use most.

it's free, works with any game, never touches game files. still early in development so lmk if anything breaks. Download is in the comments if you wanna try it out! :)

EDIT: We've reached over 1.5K downloads, the support has been insane. thank you all 🙏 more coming.

you've probably seen the spotify radio mods here. maybe im a bit late to the party but I feel I've made something worth publishing. i went a different route, mine never touches the game so there's no ban risk, and it works in any game not just forza.

I do ui/ux work, so i tried to actually make it nice to use, not just functional.

what it does:

• music ducks on its own when there's dialogue. real speech detection, drops under ANNA and mission voices then ramps back
• auto volume by game state in forza, full while driving, quiet in menus
• DualSense touchpad as a remote: swipe volume, swipe skip, tap pause. or d-pad skip. rebind everything
• now-playing overlay, spotify or browser audio
• works in other games too: anything with dialogue gets the ducking, any game gets the touchpad remote

it's ban-safe because it only reads forza's official telemetry and controls spotify's own volume. no game files, no injection, no memory reading, no network.

heads up: first launch windows may show a blue "protected your pc" box since it's not code signed yet (it's a free solo project, not malware). click More info then Run anyway.

being honest: it's built mainly around PS5 and PS4 controllers, that's where it works best. xbox, keyboard and sim wheel are supported but barely tested and can be buggy right now, fixing those over time. also the speech detection runs a model in the background so it does use some cpu, fair warning if you're on a weaker rig.

quick setup note: two things. enable Data Out in forza's settings (hud/telemetry) for the auto-volume, and set up your controls/binds in the app first. takes a couple minutes, the app walks you through the controls part.

free and still early in development, so lmk if stuff breaks. got a discord for bugs and ideas.

Also just released v1.1.1 which includes support for Apple music and fixed a massive ui bug people were experiencing.
