Convert a patch directly from one console to another or to software, including compatible labels, colours, icons and settings.

StageDesk
Convert your patch through files or connect directly to compatible consoles on the local network, using discovery or a manually entered IP address.
StageDesk is a multi-format patch converter. It reads a console or software project, or retrieves Current directly over the local network for compatible families. Available labels, colours, icons and settings share one table before an explicit action sends them to a file or console. When connected to StageFlow, StageDesk can also follow the master session and retrieve newly entered labels in real time.
STANDALONEOn its own, StageDesk handles console-to-console, console-to-software and file-to-console conversion without retyping the patch.

RELEASEStable public release
In the field
Practical uses in the field.
Prepare one common table, then generate as many destination formats as the show requires.
Connect to a StageFlow project and retrieve labels entered in the master session in real time.
How it works
Prepare, adjust, use.
Read the source
Open a supported file or discover a console on the local network, enter its IP and read its Current state.
Convert
Review and adapt labels, colours, icons, DCA/VCA assignments, high-pass filters, mutes and faders according to the destination.
Deliver
Generate the new file, transfer it to the target system or remain synchronised with the StageFlow master session.
Inside the software
Real screens. Concrete uses.
Enlarge ↗Labels, colours, icons and settings stay visible in the common table before conversion.
Enlarge ↗The table lets you review imported information and choose what must be sent to the destination.
Enlarge ↗The ready-to-fill template keeps labels, colours and settings visible before import or export to compatible systems.
Key features
What you can do.
01
Convert a complete patch between consoles and software without retyping compatible labels, colours, icons or settings.
02
Import supported projects, scenes, snapshots, sessions, tables and .stageflow projects.
03
Speed up preparation with copy and paste, batch actions and numbered or stereo series.
04
Convert labels, colours, icons, DCA/VCA assignments, high-pass filters, mutes and faders when supported.
05
Choose exactly which rows and parameter families are imported or exported.
06
Connect directly over LAN to Yamaha DM7, RIVAGE PM, CL/QL, TF and DM3, Allen & Heath dLive and Avantis, X32/M32 and WING through explicit discovery or manual IP.
07
Back up readable fields before sending and confirm changes; test the preparation in Simulation without contacting a console.
08
X32/M32: list scenes, recall one after explicit confirmation or store the entire Current mix in a freshly rechecked empty slot. Recall may change the whole mix.
09
Reuse one preparation for several consoles and software instead of starting every conversion from scratch.
10
Voluntarily join a StageFlow session through network discovery or a manual address and six-digit code, then retrieve its labels in real time.
11
Disconnect from LIVE while keeping the working table; the operator remains in control of exports to consoles and software.
12
Keep preparation connected to StageFlow, Dante Config Editor and StageMark within the same show.
Ecosystem and compatibility
Tools, systems and formats that work together.
File and network capabilities are separate and model-dependent. LAN tests use local sockets; off-air qualification on physical consoles remains required. A&H reads back labels/colours only. Transfers are non-atomic and backups are not full shows. Except for X32/M32, saved scenes use native files.

Which data can you transfer?
Choose the exact model and format. Import and export mean reading and writing files, not remote control of the console. Native format support does not imply vendor certification or transfer of every setting.
StageDesk is available for Windows, Mac Intel and Apple Silicon. The table documents the Windows file workflows; where connector exposure in the public Mac package has not been confirmed, it is marked below. SSL requires Windows and the matching SOLSA runtime. Opening a file in an editor is not a test on a physical console.

v2027.1.2
Shared stable v2027.1.2 release for Windows x64 and macOS Apple Silicon / Intel. Yamaha CL/QL exports now read back shortened labels correctly when truncation previously left a trailing space, including ‘Guitare jardin’ on channel 15. StageDesk can also discover a compatible console on the local network or connect by IP address to read and deliberately send the available data. The trial remains complete; after 30 days, one 60-second startup wait applies and every feature remains available. Existing projects, licences, offline receipts, settings and LIVE data are preserved. Software tests do not replace acceptance on a physical console.
