Amazing
I’ve never used MainStage nor do I need to because KeyStage does everything I need.
The best Midi controller app out there
A must have for keyboard players
An Absolutely Fantastic Dream App 🏆
I only purchased KeyStage a couple of days ago thanks to a recommendation from a good friend. This app is more than just Brilliant, it is everything a live keyboard player needs, especially for seamlessly changing Sections (tracks) using MIDI control without loss of any audio, it is pure Wizardry, you have to buy it to find out and then the magic happens ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful app but with a big problem for me
Keystage is a beautiful app but is seems not able to download the Custom Translators Database; it reamains locked on “Downloading Translators” without downloading anything. Why?
Top of the top
Ho provato tutto quello che il mercato offre. In questo software trovo tutto quello che mi serve. Potentissimo ma al contempo facile e intuitivo. Spero venga costantemente aggiornato.
Great tool for live keyboard players
I’m quite new to midi and IOS software and until this year only ever gigged with my one keyboard and its onboard sounds. I initially only used Key Stage as a hub to store and manage the live setlists and sounds of my Yamaha YC keyboard. The app makes it easy to call up the next song’s settings as well as the PDF file with my chords and lyrics. I can also arrange the sounds within each song in order and seamless jump from to the next sound with a Bluetooth footswitch. These two simple things alone have considerably reduced my onstage stress. I have since started enriching the onboard sounds by using Key Stage to mix in other sounds from AuV3 apps on my Ipad. This has been a gamechanger for me and I am only scratching the surface of its possibilities
I have not tried competitor products, so cannot compare. However, the Key Stage user interface is reasonably intuitive and flexible, and the developer has put a lot of thought into the different needs of keyboard-players. As a newbie to MIDI, I found integrating Key Stage with different Auv3 apps took some time to figure out. A more complete user manual with a troubleshooting guide and a beginner’s explanation of MIDI and AuV3 would have helped. However, the developer responded quickly to my questions. More experienced MIDI and IOS musicians will probably manage fine.
Overall, I’m very happy with Key Stage and I can recommend this app to any keyboard players wishing to integrate new sounds into their arsenal without the considerable cost of upgrading keyboards.

Best app ever
Perfect for true musician
Inspiring!
Logical, flexible, full featured, inspiring! Thank you for making such a marvelous app that helps us organize the numerous iPad sounds in a logical way helping us to be productive and inspired! Lately I’ve even experienced quite the benefit from the PDF sheet music feature since I have turned my iPad to portrait mode, so I can view my fairly complicated charts one full page at a time. I practice more because of the great organization!

The best iPad app for live music performance!
This app is amazing and keeps getting better because the developer is the most responsive I have ever encountered. This is like MainStage for your iPad. In some ways it is even more powerful. If you are wanting to use your iPad for live keyboards, this is by far the best!
Incredible
Been using this on gigs 2+ times a week for the past year and the more I use it, the more I realise how powerful it is. It’s my main keyboard plugin host now, but I use it with keys/guitar setup, and adding in midi pad controllers and even a theremin. Ali is a great developer and responds quickly to questions/suggestions, also a great community of users on Facebook helping each other out. Couldn’t recommend more!

Well Done
I have been building my set lists with multiple bands inside KeyStage, transitioning from an old school setup consisting of three separate keyboards and switching patches between songs etc… What a game changer. I can do so much more now and I have only just scratched the surface - This is amazing. Thanks to Ali for all the hard work he puts into this!! <3

A Beast - with support
KeyStage is an amazing tool for keyboardists and even guitarists. As a gigging keys guy I finally have an easy way to set up and deliver a whole set with different presets and synths for all the songs we play. It has good support by the developer and fb group. Someone on there called it a beast… and as I get deeper into custom translators and controls I am realising it truly is.

snap to grid almost
I love this app, but snap to grid on wave files that I need to loop isn’t
lining up. It is an amazing app, but I need that to work. I tried remaking files and making sure bpm was good coming out of audio share. Thank you for the amazing work you’ve put into it.

Response from developer
Thanks for your review and feedback Keys Playr. Can you contact me at aligokturk80@gmail.com about this issue that you are having? I'm actively using snap to grid function in player units on metronome tracks and didn't have any issues with lining up. Maybe there is a detail that I missed.
Great
There is nearly nothing which you can‘t make for your live setup. Integrates Real Instruments with iPad Apps, AUv3 Instruments,... Split, Layer ... 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Poderosa
Excelente aplicación para tocar en vivo, además de que cuenta con soporte directamente con su creador Ali Gokturk, también existe una comunidad de usuarios donde nos retroalimentamos para que la aplicación mejore

Great app
After many many years of lugging outboard gear to gigs, I started researching alternatives that were easier on my back. After a lot of research, I jumped to KeyStage and am very happy. There is a learning curve, but all in all, this app is great for live gigs. I love the ability to pretty much set up my keyboard with any number of splits using Audio Units, so I can cover just about anything for the band I’m currently working with. The only drawback to this app is the time it takes to load a new song. This is not a huge issue if you are prepared to deal with it, but other than that, I absolutely love using this app for my live gigs.

The go to app for keyboardists
Excellent for keyboard players to manage multiple keyboards, virtual instruments and song arrangements.
Perfect app
Been using KeyStage for years now. Super reliable and endless options. I’m still finding new features! now with all the free effects and instruments units it’s the only app I have open on my iPad for an entire gig. Ali is super talented!
Slim, reliable and great support!
I use Keystage live with Osaka Rising to combine Korg Module, Koala Sampler and different other plugins to use with different midi controllers (Arturia Keylab MKII 88, Novation Launchkey Mini MK3 and Launchkey 61 MK3) on my Ipad Pro 2020. No issues, no drop outs. I do the line check, I do the soundcheck, I leave until the show starts and without any checking I can play the show from start to finish - perfect!
