KeyStage is a master controller, AUv3 host, and audio mixer app designed mainly for keyboard players.

New version 2.1
Old version 2.0.1
Release Notes New Features: • Sends. Each non-mixer track can now send a percentage of its output audio signal to mixers. • MIDI Learn directly from audio units UI, and new parameter handling. AU Parameters can be automatically added to the parameters list by simply tweaking from the UI. • An advanced MIDI monitoring system, which can simultaneously monitor inputs and outputs of multiple items (tracks, parts, custom translators, MIDI aliases, and audio units). • The signal levels in the mixer and on the tracks now show the true decibel levels, with a peak indicator. Also the volume levels can now exceed 0 Db. • In the song properties, users can now configure dynamic and non-dynamic properties (properties that changes from section to section). • The song volume can now be a dynamic property. • Multi Translators. • Scripts in Custom Translators. Users can now write their own codes to program custom translators, which opens up endless possibilities. • Groups of translators can now be saved as “translators chains”, which can later be recalled anywhere. • Custom and Multi translators can now be added directly to Audio Units. • Users can now access a new and expanding database of custom translators and chains of translators. • KeyStage keeps track of the last 10 songs that were loaded, which can be easily accessed from the Files menu. • Player Unit’s timelines can now be synced. • Audio Unit presets can now be changed with program change and bank select messages. • A new option to automatically load invalidated audio units. These audio units load in the background and does not interfere with other audio units and MIDI signals, so will not interrupt the live performance. • The font size of lyrics can now be adjusted with a slider. • Solo function is added to tracks. Also global mute and solo control buttons are added to the bottom bar. • Battery level indicator is added to the bottom bar. • “Low refresh rate mode for audio signals” is added to improve the performance of low-end iPads. Further performance options are on the way. • Users can now create full backup files, which allows them to store and share their whole setup. • User’s Manual. • Info buttons on several different parts of KeyStage, which automatically opens the related section in the User’s Manual. Improvements: • Live consoles layout is slightly changed. So now the bottom bar is visible while the live console is on, which allows users to access transport controls, tempo/time signature/metronome controls, MIDI monitor, global solo/mute buttons, battery meter, and DSP meter. • Several other UI changes and improvements. • Volume,Pan, and Sends are now considered as track parameters. CC assignments on these parameters are stored on the track rather than the audio unit. • Audio Unit Parameter values are now visible in the parameters section. • 'Disable All Parameters' button in the parameters section allows users to disable all parameters. • Major performance improvements in MIDI routing. • Deleting an item from a list can now be done with the standard left swipe gesture. • In the MIDI Learn view, the users can now manually select the CC value. Bug Fixes: • Possible crash when loading songs in iPadOS 1.48 and above is now fixed. • Hanging/overlapping tracks/parts/sections, while copying them is fixed. • Spikes in the DSP meter when changing sections are now resolved (this was a virtual bug, there was not an actual spike in the DSP). • Several bug fixes involving Midi Processor Units. • The problem with player units stopping in the middle of an audio file with a different sample rate is now fixed. • There was an issue related to controlling volume and pan of input, player, and mixer units via MIDI. This is fixed. • Lots of additional minor tweaks and fixes.
