Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Mac app, AUv3 plugin, and iPad remote for controlling MainStage, plugins, and keyboards during live performance.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-07 issue.

For: MainStage musicians managing live rigs from an iPad
Worth noticing: Soft Takeover is designed to prevent non-motorized faders from jumping after a Scene change.

Field notes

Controls are assembled from the user’s Concert rather than a fixed template, with Sections, Scenes, faders, buttons, knobs, and custom SubScreens. The site describes Namespaces for MIDI routing, so a gear swap can be handled by redirecting a name instead of rebuilding mappings. Its listed live-performance safeguards include ramps that start from a parameter’s current value, sustained-note handling across Scene changes, and soft takeover for non-motorized faders.
