## What is iStage Live?

iStage turns your iPad into a professional digital music stand — designed from the ground up for live performance.   
                                                                                                                       
  Whether you're gigging, rehearsing, or running a worship team, iStage keeps your entire song library organized and   
  instantly accessible. Display lyrics with chords, song sheet images, or PDF scores in fullscreen, and let iStage     
  automatically switch your synthesizer patches via MIDI the moment you select a song.

  iStage is built for real live-performance needs: minimal UI distractions, tap zones to hide sidebars during a song,  
  dark theme to reduce glare, and support for both portrait and landscape orientations. No forced sign-in — the app
  works fully offline, and an account is only needed if you want cloud backup.                                         
                  
  MIDI INTEGRATION
  Connect any MIDI device via USB, Bluetooth, or Camera Connection Kit. iStage auto-detects devices like Yamaha MODX   
  and sends Bank Select + Program Change to switch sounds instantly. Configure per-song MIDI or a global default patch
  — perfect for seamless transitions mid-set.                                                                          
                  
  PERFECT FOR

  • Keyboardists, guitarists, and singer-songwriters

  • Cover bands and working musicians                                                                                  
  • Music directors managing setlists                                                                                  
  • Anyone tired of paper sheets and binders on stage
