STAGEBOX is a standalone plugin host and setlist manager for live keyboard players, designed to simplify performance and provide studio-quality sound on stage.
No-compromise sound, wherever you play
With StageBox, you can take your favourite software instruments and effects plugins on stage, and create dream keyboard rigs not possible with traditional stage pianos.
Adapt your set on the go
StageBox lets you design custom instrument and effect setups using any VST3 or Audio Units plugins, then build them seamlessly into Songs and Sets. When you want to tweak the setlist, simply drag and drop songs into place using the straightforward at-a-glance UI.
Outperform traditional stage pianos
StageBox software frees you from the limitations of traditional hardware keyboards by unlocking the processing, storage and playback power of modern laptops, which greatly outperform stage keyboards. It also lets you access a huge range of sounds and processing using any VST3 or Audio Units plugin — not just the presets available on your hardware.
Carry dream rigs for every occasion
StageBox works with MIDI Controllers and multi-output audio interfaces so you can create custom control configurations and audio routing setups for all your live performance scenarios, however large or small.
Matt Robertson, creator of StageBox, has made reliable stage rigs using Mainstage, Gig Performer, Ableton as well as hardware stage pianos and synths, but was always frustrated with those tools. They were either overly complicated, or compromised in some way. So he decided to develop his own hosting software which focuses on ease of use and efficiency. Welcome to StageBox!
