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, 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 — 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 template-built band plot — 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 — 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.
