Settings
Global configuration options for Stage Cue can be accessed via the application settings dialog. This section provides an overview of the available settings and how to use them.
Board Configuration
Current Configuration
This is a premium feature.
Each board in Stage Cue can hold up to 64 videos. You can create an unlimited number of boards (also called configurations) and switch between them in the Current Configuration view. This view displays a list of all saved configurations. Tapping on one will switch the board to that setup.
On iOS, a haptic tap or left swipe reveals additional actions: Rename, Duplicate, and Delete. Note that Rename and Delete are only available for configurations that are not currently active.
On macOS, these actions are available via the right-click context menu.
Pause Image
The Pause Image is part of the board configuration and is displayed whenever no video is playing. You can load an image from the device’s local file system or photo library.
Global MIDI Trigger
Stop Playback
You can assign a MIDI command to stop video playback by tapping Learn. Stage Cue will then listen for incoming MIDI messages and the first received command will be set as the trigger to stop playback.
Alternatively, you can enter the MIDI command manually. The required format is explained in the section MIDI Format.
MIDI Setup
Network MIDI Sessions (iOS only)
On iOS, Stage Cue can connect to remote MIDI sessions over the local network. This view shows a list of all devices on the same network that are running a network MIDI session. Tap a device to connect. Once connected, Stage Cue will receive MIDI messages from that device directly over the network.
On macOS, you can connect to remote MIDI sessions using the Audio MIDI Setup app. Here’s how to connect to for example Stage Traxx running on an iPhone:
- Open the Audio-MIDI-Setup app.
- Go to MIDI Studio, then open MIDI Network Setup.
- Follow the steps shown in the screenshot below:
Note
Both devices must be connected to the same local network to use this feature.
Bluetooth MIDI Devices
Stage Cue also supports Bluetooth LE MIDI devices. Use this dialog to scan for and connect to nearby Bluetooth MIDI devices.
Virtual MIDI Ports
Enable or disable the creation of virtual MIDI ports. These virtual ports allow Stage Cue to send and receive MIDI messages directly to and from other apps running on the same device, without needing any external MIDI hardware. This makes it easy to integrate Stage Cue into complex app setups or workflows where multiple apps need to communicate over MIDI. If you don’t need this functionality, you can simply turn the virtual ports off to keep your MIDI device list cleaner.
In App Purchases
Unlock Stage Cue‘s premium features by tapping Upgrade to Premium. If you’ve previously purchased the upgrade, you can restore it using the Restore Purchase option.
Purchases are tied to your Apple ID. Once purchased, you can use the full version on any device associated with that Apple ID.
