Automated Stage Sub-Snake Patch Generator
Error-Free Channel Patching for Stage Crews
During high-pressure festival line changeovers, stage hands need clear, unambiguous input patch sheets. The Automated Stage Sub-Snake Patch Generator transforms raw input lists into color-coded drop snake pinouts (Sub-Snake A: Drums, Sub-Snake B: Stage Left, Sub-Snake C: Stage Right, Sub-Snake D: Vocals).
System Features
- Auto-Channel Indexing: Input up to 128 console channels with instrument names, mic models, and direct injection (DI) active box flags.
- Phantom Power (+48V) Indicators: Highlights condenser microphones and active DIs to prevent phantom power pops during patching.
- Sub-Snake Allocation: Organizes channels by physical stage drop boxes (12-channel drop boxes, Veam multi-pin connectors).
- Digital Console Compatibility: Export direct CSV patches compatible with Yamaha RIVAGE, DiGiCo SD/Quantum, Allen & Heath dLive, and Behringer X32.
