PATCHBOY

The stage plot that builds your input list as you go.

Drag your sources onto the stage and the input list writes itself. Channels number automatically, the patch follows. Pick your console, see live I/O capacity, run sound check from every position, rack your RF, and export the whole package to a clean PDF the venue can read.

Drag & drop

Place a vocal, an amp, a DI, a kit. Every source becomes a numbered channel. Move it and the list and patch follow. Tap a channel, it highlights on the plot.

Your console

Pick the desk from a built in library (Yamaha, DiGiCo, Avid, Allen & Heath, Behringer, Midas) and PatchBoy checks your inputs against its real analog I/O and DSP.

Print the truth

Export a clean, multi page PDF with stage plot, input list, console patch and an RF sheet to hand the house engineer before you roll in.

Built like a real stage

Upstage, downstage, and everything in between.

Drums on the riser, vocals down front, wedges along the edge facing the band. Start from a template or build it from scratch.

A band plot built from a template: drums upstage, lead vocal down front, wedges facing the stage.
What's inside

One document for the whole crew.

Stage, list and patch can never drift apart. They're all the same data, seen three ways.

Live input list

Sources become channels automatically; add, move or remove and the numbering renumbers itself.

Smart mic picker

A real mic & DI library that auto-arms 48V for condensers, clears it for dynamics, and warns on ribbons.

Drum kit builder

Tap a kit and explode it into 4-piece, 5-piece or full studio channels, properly named and mic'd.

Sound check mode ★

Mons, FOH and Truck each confirm every input independently, so you see what's good everywhere and what's still hanging.

IEM & RF racks

Add in-ears or wireless and they collect into a rack with brand, model, band and frequency.

Console patch

Map every channel snake → stage box → console against the desk's real I/O, then export it all to PDF.

The console library

It knows your desk's real I/O.

Pick the console and PatchBoy checks your input count against its actual local mic inputs, stage-box capacity and processing ceiling, so you find out you're three channels short in the shop, not at the gig.
