Gig Set GO
Stage Connect explained

Run your set from the stage, with every player in sync

Stage Connect gives your whole band shared access to lyrics, chords and tabs on every device, while the host controls the setlist, tempo and stem tracks from centre stage.

The applications are endless, limited only by your imagination — from intimate acoustic sets to full production shows where timing matters.

1. Why you'll love Stage Connect

One session, every screen, zero printed setlists. Keep the whole band on the same page — literally.

Lyrics, chords & tabs on every device
Every player sees the current song, key, tempo and lyrics or chords on their own phone or tablet. No more printed setlists or one person holding the cheat sheet.
Host-controlled setlist flow
The bandleader starts the session and controls play, pause, skip and the next song. The whole band follows along in real time, so the set never loses its place.
Stem tracks from the stage
Trigger backing tracks and stems right from the host device. Everyone hears the same cue, and the host decides exactly when the next track kicks in.
Works offline mid-gig
Once a session is joined, lyrics, chords and the queue are cached locally. A dropped signal doesn't stop the show — changes sync back up when connectivity returns.

2. How it works on stage

The host drives the session; every player follows along. Two roles, one shared experience.

For the host / bandleader

One device runs the show
Start a session, pick the setlist and share a 6-character code. The host controls playback, song order and tempo from the stage or the sound desk.
Keep the whole band in sync
Play, pause and skip update on every follower's screen instantly. Everyone knows the current song and what is coming next without hand signals or shouted cues.
Stem playback under your finger
Launch backing tracks and stems from the same console that drives the setlist, so click tracks, pads and guide vocals line up with the song flow.

For every player on stage

Join with a simple code
Type in the 6-character session code, add a device label, and you're in. No app store, no complicated setup — just a browser and a code.
Lyrics and chords in real time
The current song, key, tempo and lyrics or chords appear as the host moves through the set. The next song is always visible so you can prepare the change.
Your own screen, your own angle
Mount a phone or tablet on your mic stand, lay it on the floor monitor, or keep it in your pocket. Every player chooses the view that works for them.

3. Tell your band — it pays

Free subscription add-ons
When a bandmate signs up through your referral link, both of you receive free bonus time on paid plans. Share Stage Connect and it pays you back.
Help your band stay tight
Every musician you introduce gets the same real-time setlist tools. Fewer missed cues, smoother sets and more confident performances.
Grow the community
More acts and venues using Gig-Set-Go means better gig coordination, clearer communication and a stronger independent live music scene.

Common questions

Do I need a paid plan to use Stage Connect?

Stage Connect is included on paid plans that have the stage_sync feature. Free accounts can explore the rest of Gig-Set-Go; upgrade when you're ready to run your first connected session.

What devices work with Stage Connect?

Any phone, tablet or laptop with a modern browser. The host runs the set from one device; every player joins with a simple 6-character code. iOS, Android and desktop all work together.

Can it run offline once the set starts?

Yes. Lyrics, chords and the setlist are cached locally when you join. If the room's Wi-Fi drops, the session keeps running from the snapshot on each device and syncs again when you're back online.

Is Stage Connect only for lyrics and chords?

No. It also keeps every player in sync with the current song, next song, key and tempo. The host can control backing tracks and stem playback so the whole band stays locked to the same moment.
