Interactive Stage Plot & Patch Builder

Seamless Communication Between Front of House & Stage Techs

Miscommunicated patch channels lead to delayed soundchecks and chaotic festival changeovers. The Interactive Stage Plot & Patch Builder allows tour managers and sound engineers to visually layout drums, amplifiers, keyboard rigs, vocal positions, and sidefill monitors while automatically generating matching channel patch sheets.

Key Engine Features

  • Drag-and-Drop Canvas: Scale dynamic stage dimensions (e.g. 60x40ft festival mainstages vs 30x20ft indoor stages)
  • Input Patch Automation: Auto-indexes Ch 1-48 with Mic Type, Stand Model, Phantom Power (+48V) status, and Sub-snake box assignments
  • Power Distribution Outlets: Drop AC quad-boxes onto the stage layout for backline power requirements
  • Color-Coded Snake Routing: Group stage drops into Drums Left, Stage Left, Stage Right, and Downstage Center sub-snakes

Streamlined Festival Changeovers

Export single-page laminated patch sheets directly to print or digital tablet formats. Stage crews can instantly verify microphone placements, DI box requirements, and monitor drop locations before the band steps onto stage.
