Questions musicians usually ask first.

Stage Arranger runs on laptops, tablets and computers with 64-bit Windows 10 or later.

Recommended: 16 GB RAM, an SSD for the application and sound banks, and a Full HD display. Memory and storage needs depend on your banks and plug-ins. A MIDI keyboard and an audio interface with an ASIO driver are recommended for live playing. Registration and the trial require internet access.

20 free minutes on your device. After registering, you can try Stage Arranger without buying: explore the sounds, connect your MIDI keyboard and check performance on your computer. If the instrument suits you, continue with your purchase.

The trial includes a total of 20 minutes of playing per device. An internet connection is required. Restarting or reinstalling does not reset the time used.

Stage Arranger runs on laptops, tablets and computers with 64-bit Windows 10 or later.

First open Settings → Audio / MIDI and confirm that the intended output device is selected and active. Then check that the correct sound bank/source is loaded, MASTER and STYLE levels are above zero, and no unexpected Mute/Solo state is silencing the parts you expect to hear. If MIDI keys do not trigger sound, confirm that the correct MIDI input is enabled. If another application is holding the audio device exclusively, close it or select another available device, then reopen the Stage Arranger audio settings. The Troubleshooting guide walks through these checks step by step.

This is audio latency. On Windows the most common cause is using a high-latency driver or an audio buffer that is too large. For live playing, use the audio interface manufacturer's native ASIO driver whenever possible. A smaller buffer reduces latency, but if it is too small the computer may produce clicks, pops or dropouts. As a practical starting point, try 128-256 samples at 44.1/48 kHz, then adjust for your computer and interface. Avoid Bluetooth headphones or speakers for live monitoring because they add their own delay. See Audio latency.

SAVE CONFIG keeps the complete supported setup in JSON: style reference, voices, keyboard, mixer and Master processing. SAVE STYLE writes supported edits to existing Auto Voice slots into the style file. Accompaniment mixer changes currently belong in CONFIG. See the exact list.

Use compatible styles from your own library. Keep them in a folder of your choice and select them in Stage Arranger.

Stage Arranger can scan and load compatible STY, PRS, SST and BCS files. The arranger engine supports SFF/SFF2-style workflows, but file extension alone does not guarantee perfect playback. Older SFF/SFF2 User Styles are often easier to adapt because their programming is closer to the mappings currently handled by Stage Arranger.

Stage Arranger uses its own sound-bank format ACBK (.acbk), developed specifically for the program. Official ACBK banks may be included with the Stage Arranger installer or made available for download in your account. The format is not limited to official libraries: users and independent developers can create compatible banks themselves. Typically, an author prepares original samples or audio material they have the right to use, trims and normalizes the recordings when needed, maps the samples across notes and keyboard ranges, configures instrument parameters and metadata, and then assembles the result into a ready-to-use .acbk bank with compatible bank-building tools. A finished bank can be kept for personal use or published independently on the Internet. Third-party banks are created and distributed by their respective authors, so download them only from sources you trust and make sure you have the right to use the audio material they contain.

Large collections of user-created arranger Styles can be found independently on the Internet and in arranger-keyboard communities. Stage Arranger does not provide a download directory or endorse particular third-party collections. Download Styles only from sources you trust and make sure you have the right to use them. Put the files in your own User Styles folder and select that folder inside Stage Arranger.

Demo Styles are product demonstration content included with Stage Arranger. User Styles remain in the folder you choose on your own disk or USB storage. Third-party Internet downloads are not copied into Stage Arranger automatically; you decide where they are stored and which folder the program scans.

No. Third-party and converted Styles can contain device-specific programming, voices, controller data and arranger rules. Stage Arranger includes compatibility handling and detailed per-part controls, but we do not guarantee perfect reproduction of every external Style. Audition important Styles before rehearsal or live use.

You can replace a part voice where supported, change volume and pan, apply filters and EQ, adjust effect sends and supported DSP parameters, correct octave, and use Mute/Solo while you tune the Style.

Yes. REC MIDI captures the arrangement as MIDI, while REC WAV captures the final stereo performance, including MIDI playback, live RIGHT parts and microphone input.

Yes. A microphone can be routed through the vocal path for monitoring and effects, and the final performance can be captured to WAV.

Yes, supported external sound-module workflows are available. Compatibility still depends on the third-party product and its own updates.
