What StageBox does
StageBox hosts VST3 and Audio Unit software instruments and effects and arranges them as songs within a setlist. Each song can be built from layers and splits of software instruments, so a performer can assemble a full sound from several sources without leaving the plugin. The layout is kept clutter-free and shows only the controls that need to be seen during a performance.
Instruments can be shared between songs, which shortens preparation when a sound is used in more than one place in a set. Sound layers can be sent to different hardware audio outputs, and MIDI controllers are handled through a simple management view that supports multiple devices. The plugin is offered as VST3, AU and a standalone application for Windows and macOS.
Key features
- Setlist management. Songs can be created, adapted and rearranged inside a setlist, and a song is moved to a new position by dragging it into place.
- Layers and splits. A song is built from layers and splits of software instruments, so one key can trigger several sounds or a keyboard can be divided into zones.
- Shared instruments. An instrument loaded in one song can be shared with other songs, which the developer presents as a quicker way to prepare a set.
- Per-song effects. Effects are applied per sound or per song, so the processing of each song can differ within the same set.
- MIDI controller management. Controllers are handled by a simple management view that supports several devices in the same session.
- Hardware output routing. Sound layers can be sent to different hardware audio outputs, which separates a stage monitor mix from a front-of-house feed.
- Clutter-free layout. The interface only shows the controls that need to be seen while performing, leaving the rest out of the view.
