KeyStage
Screenshots
KeyStage is a master controller, AUv3 host, and audio mixer app designed mainly for keyboard players. With KeyStage, you can simultaneously control any number of hardware and software instruments using any number of MIDI controllers in an organized way.
Each project consists of sections (which corresponds to sections of a song). In each section you can change sounds and sound parameters of connected instruments, create complex splits and layers of your keyboard(s), change the functionalities of sliders/knobs/pedals of your MIDI controllers by creating advanced MIDI mappings, view PDF and JPG files (e.g. sheet music) and lyrics, and much more.

The following features can be unlocked via in-app purchases
• Load AUv3 instruments, effects, and MIDI Processors.
• Create mixer units to combine audio signals, turning KeyStage into an audio mixer.
• With the player units, you can play wav, mp3, and m4a files, add marker points, automate actions (like play, stop, move to a marker etc.) using custom translators, or trigger certain events (like changing sections) when the player reaches a certain marker.
• Input units allows you to use the microphone input, or the hardware inputs of a connected audio interface.
• KeyStage has a multi-track recorder, which lets you record any number of tracks simultaneously.
• The Main Mixer view allows you to control volume levels and pans of all tracks, connect effect units, and connect units to mixer units.
• The transport controls allows you to play all instrument, effect, and MIDI processor audio units in sync with the built-in metronome. You can use global tempo and time signature, or assign different tempo and time signature to sections.
You can access demo videos and video tutorials on my Youtube channel.
What’s New
New Features:
• Audio Unit view frame can be cycled through a set of preset frames.
• On the Main Mixer, you can now double tap on volume and pan sliders to assign their default values.
Improvements:
• You can now import songs directly into KeyStage.
• Audio Unit view can now be moved around by holding and dragging from the bottom bar as well as the top bar.
• "Save Changes" on the Main Mixer now applies to everything, including track states, parameters, and the master volume.• Audio Unit view frame can be cycled through a set of preset frames.
• Users have now the option to disable autosave. When autosave is disabled, changes that you make in a song is stored only if you manually save it.

• When “Same as Incoming” is selected on a track with a AU MIDI plugin, the channels of the MIDI signals produced by the plugin remains unchanged.
• While editing track/part/section names, delete all button (x) can now be pressed.
• In player units, the loop problem for short audio files is resolved.
• Resolved possible crash when (system reset) MIDI message is received.
• Relative control of custom translator with AUParameter outputs was not working correctly when they are activated the first time. This problem is resolved.
• Hardware MIDI connections are now tracked by their unique IDs, which allows you to use multiple devices of the same brand independently.
• Problem with storing buffer size and sample rate changes is resolved.
• Some problems related to storing full states into parts and tracks are resolved.
• Custom translators with global/custom event inputs and with sysex outputs would cause a crash. This is now fixed.
• Lots of additional minor tweaks and fixes.
