Actual Stage Arranger 1.1.2 screens, shown in English for every language version.
Stage Arranger creates the accompaniment from your chords. The sound can come from your computer or a compatible external instrument. Choose the route that fits your equipment.
Your keyboard sends notes to Stage Arranger. A compatible bank on the computer produces the sounds, which you hear through the selected audio interface or headphones. For this route, keep Local audio on and the MIDI output off unless you deliberately need an external instrument.
Load supported SF2 sounds or add a WAV as a playable instrument. A WAV can be an existing recording or a new sample captured from an audio input. These are ways to create individual sounds, not automatic conversion of a whole synthesizer into a bank.
The keyboard sends notes to Stage Arranger, which sends the resulting accompaniment and live parts back as MIDI. The external instrument produces the audio. It must receive the required channels and have suitable voices and drum kits. Voice selection and effects may need manual setup; this does not turn every synthesizer into a Yamaha arranger or copy its sounds.
On a suitable synthesizer, Local Control Off can disconnect the keys from its internal sound generator while keeping MIDI transmission to the computer. The program then controls the receiving sound generator through the return MIDI route. Do not disable note transmission if the program needs it. The exact settings depend on the instrument. Check the receiving parts and avoid sending returned notes back to the input again.
External synthesizersPurchase becomes available after you connect a computer to your account. Check the sound, MIDI keyboard and response in the demo before paying. You do not need to use all your demo time first.

Get the Windows installer in your account. A standalone sample bank is downloaded separately. You can also use an existing compatible bank or an external MIDI instrument.
Get a connection code in Your devices and enter it in Settings > LICENSE in the program. Select your audio, musical MIDI input and sound source, load a compatible style and try the accompaniment.
If the demo suits you, choose the connected computer under Licence & payment. Review the final price and terms, then pay. Check the paid device assignment in your account and select Verify again in the program.
The demo provides 60 minutes of musical use per connected computer. It requires internet access. Leaving the window idle does not use playing time. Restarting or reinstalling does not reset time already used.
The full licence unlocks SAVE STYLE, REC MIDI, REC WAV and microphone recording in REC SAMPLE. These functions are unavailable in the demo. Open WAV imports an existing supported audio file and is separate from microphone recording.
Current price: $99. One-time payment. Review the final amount and available payment method in your account before confirming an order.
Stage Arranger is centred around the arranger workflow: choose a style, play chords with the left hand, perform with layered right-hand voices and keep transport, mixer and recording within reach.
Intro, Main A-D, Fill, Break, Ending, Sync Start, Sync Stop, Auto Fill and multiple chord fingering modes.
Auto Mix sets a static balance for the selected style and source. The applied levels are shown on the accompaniment faders, ready for manual adjustment.
Record your arrangement to Standard MIDI, play it back with its stored sounds and perform a new live part on top.
REC WAV records the program's final local stereo output, including the microphone when its signal is routed into the mix. MIDI messages do not contain audio. To record the sound of an external synthesizer, connect its audio outputs to your interface and include that input in the recording path. Prevent feedback when monitoring the return.
Monitor and process a microphone with Hall, Chorus, Delay and Flanger while keeping the final recording path intact.
Choose a compatible local bank, your own SF2 sounds, an installed instrument plugin, or No Bank / External MIDI with an external synthesizer.
A refreshed performance interface, improved sound and instrument balance, refined chord recognition and smoother accompaniment. Version 1.1.2 also improves performance and stability.
Updated icons, instrument browsing and clearly separated editing windows. Style and voice selection share a consistent layout, with transport information beside the chord display.
Refined instrument playback and effect handling, with gentler balance when layering compatible right-hand voices. Keep control with the part mixer, Auto Mix and Master output tools.
Refined chord recognition and musical transitions. Beat indicators follow the style's time signature, including compound and irregular meters, while bar and beat information stays with the style controls.
Stage Arranger can send accompaniment and live RIGHT parts to a hardware synthesizer through MIDI. The synthesizer produces the sound; the computer sends notes and supported control messages. You can keep a local bank for simultaneous listening, or choose No Bank without loading samples.
Choose No Bank / External MIDI in Settings > Sound Bank to use an external instrument's sounds without loading local samples. Select its MIDI output in Settings > MIDI and check receiving channels and supported voices. This mode does not itself produce local bank audio. Loading a local bank restores local bank playback.
If notes sustain while the pedal is released and stop when you press it, enable Sustain Invert in Settings > MIDI. This reverses the received CC64 pedal state, including for pedals without a hardware polarity switch. It applies only to live RIGHT1 and RIGHT2. It does not hold style parts or change sustain already written in a MIDI song. Release the pedal and test a few notes after switching.
The program includes demonstration styles for getting started. You build your own library from compatible styles you are entitled to use. You can test your own supported styles during the demo; purchasing Stage Arranger does not grant rights to third-party content.
Start with the demonstration styles, then browse your own folders of compatible styles. The user collection shown here is an example and is not included with the program.
Third-party and converted Styles are not all programmed the same way. A supported file may use source-specific voices, controller data or arranger rules, so we do not promise that every external Style will sound identical to the keyboard or software it came from. Stage Arranger is an independent product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by third-party keyboard manufacturers.
Yamaha is a trademark of Yamaha Corporation. Stage Arranger is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Yamaha. Compatibility describes supported file handling, not ownership of third-party styles, samples or sounds. Use content only where its licence permits your intended use.
Layer RIGHT1 and RIGHT2, choose their sounds and set separate voice octaves. Four Auto Voice slots store style-specific setups; the link option recalls them with Main A-D.
Auto Mix sets a static balance for the selected style and source. The applied levels are shown on the accompaniment faders, ready for manual adjustment.
Five-band EQ, stereo-linked compression, dedicated makeup gain and a shared Master fader put the final sound in your hands. Input, output and gain-reduction meters show what the processor is doing.
Save the full setup in CONFIG. Keep your Auto Voice edits in SAVE STYLE. Two clear workflows, one performance.
Explore Master output
Responsive chords, protected release changes and musical transitions keep the focus on the performance.
Add chord tones while playing. Release protection helps avoid unintended intermediate harmonies as you lift your fingers.
Breaks and fills retain their programmed timing, with controlled note tails instead of extra attacks inserted at the change.
Personalise each Auto Voice, switch between them within the style session and write all edited slots in one save.
The built-in MIDI Player shows the song as a compact piano-roll overview, keeps the sounds recorded with the performance, and gives you play/pause, stop, seek and timeline control directly inside the main display.
Use an audio interface, a hardware MIDI keyboard, a microphone and the sound source that fits your performance.
REC WAV records the program's final local stereo output, including the microphone when its signal is routed into the mix. MIDI messages do not contain audio. To record the sound of an external synthesizer, connect its audio outputs to your interface and include that input in the recording path. Prevent feedback when monitoring the return.
Place a microphone on a stand, play the keyboard, sing your part and capture the result without leaving the Stage Arranger workflow. It is equally useful for home demos, rehearsal ideas and performance-ready backing tracks.
Expand your instrument with SoundFont SF2 files. Choose your own flutes, choirs, guitars and other sounds for the right hand or individual accompaniment parts directly in the application.
Keep bank sounds and SF2 presets together in Favourites, mark favourite styles and quickly find what you need for a performance. Browse categories and choose instruments in a clear visual browser.
Open REC SAMPLE and choose Open WAV to import an existing supported WAV. Set the root note to match its pitch, adjust the start, end and fades as needed, then use Add voice. Save edited audio with Save WAV as before adding it. Keep the WAV available at its saved location when recalling the configuration.
Connect a microphone or the external instrument's audio output to an appropriate audio-interface input. Select and check that input in the MIC settings, then open REC SAMPLE and press Record. Stop earlier or let capture stop at 20 seconds. Set the root note, save the WAV and use Add voice. Audio-input recording requires the full licence. MIDI alone does not carry the sound to record. REC WAV records the final performance mix instead of creating a short instrument sample.
Stage Arranger runs on laptops, tablets and computers with 64-bit Windows 10 or later.
The manual explains every major performance section, control and recording workflow.
