StageTakt guide & support

Prepare your first song

1. Create a song in Songs, then import your audio from Files. M4A/AAC, FLAC, WAV and MP3 are supported. Each song can contain up to 16 mono or stereo audio tracks.
2. Choose whether to generate a click, use a separate click track, or play prepared backing/monitor mixes.
3. Set the tempo, meter and performance entry point. Zoom the waveform while previewing, align the click, and choose your count-in.
4. Set each track’s volume, mute and output routing. On the Live screen, prepare the song and press Play.

Outputs and interfaces

Use an audio interface supported by iOS/iPadOS and adequate USB power. StageTakt reads the actual available output count; compatibility and terminal numbering depend on your device.

The default sends backing audio to OUT 1–2 and backing, click and count-in to OUT 3–4. Prepared monitor mixes have separate defaults to avoid doubling the backing.

A send to a missing output remains silent. It is never redirected to another output. If an output changes, a device disconnects, or audio is interrupted, playback stops. Reconnect, tap Prepare, then Play.

Check output numbers at low volume before your performance. No microphone access or audio recording is required.

Free and Pro

The free version allows new registration of 3 songs and 1 setlist. Click, count-in, multichannel output and iCloud sync are included. Both versions support up to 16 audio tracks per song.

StageTakt Pro is a one-time, non-consumable Apple In-App Purchase that removes the song and setlist registration limits. Japan’s base price is JPY 3,000. The purchase screen shows the current price for your App Store region. There is no subscription or advertising.

Buy once with your App Store Apple Account, then use Pro on your iPhone and iPad. Settings includes Restore Purchases. Your iCloud account and your App Store purchase account can be different.

Existing songs and setlists remain playable, editable and syncable if they exceed the free limits. Only new registration is restricted.

During the show

Live lock is on by default. During playback the waveform does not move the position, and Pause, Stop, Next and MUTE need a long press. Tap the lock icon on the Live screen to turn it off.

A Bluetooth page-turner pedal or keyboard also works. Space, left, up and Page Up play or pause. Right, down and Page Down go to the next song.

iCloud and offline use

Enable iCloud sync in Settings on both devices using the same iCloud Apple Account. Songs, setlists and original audio sync to your private iCloud storage.

Keep both apps open, stop playback and close editors while syncing. Once audio has downloaded, it can be prepared and played offline.

An iCloud error does not delete local data. If your Apple Account changes, the app asks before sending the local library to the new account.
