Builders

Coming soon to the App Store

Build the whole set inside the app.

Besides playing, Jowe Stage has the editors to build what goes on stage: sound, synth, tracks, images, 3D, motion graphics, visual sequences and the venue itself.

FX

Four FX pages: Effects, Build, Synth and Stems.

FX is split into pages, each a complete layout for one way of playing. Switch pages at the top without stopping the sound.

Jowe Stage FX tab: an 11-effect grid, Scene FX with build-up and break-down, a three-band isolator and release effects.
  • FX · BUILD: eight looper slots with CATCH, a drum kit on pads, tempo and the Session and Arrange modes.
    BUILD · remix deck, looper and instruments
  • Effects

    Effects grid and Scene FX

    Eleven effects, build-up and break-down on one control, a three-band isolator with kills and release effects: brake, echo out or both, with slip.

  • Build

    Remix deck

    A looper that catches (CATCH) what you play, and an instrument dock that opens when needed: keys, drum kit and guitar pedals.

  • Synth

    The synth with its keyboard

    The full JV Synth, played from the keyboard right below it, with the looper strip above to catch what it plays.

  • Stems

    Vocals, drums and instrumental

    Beta

    On-device stem separation to play and process each part of a track.

JV Synth · Looper

A real synth, and a looper that catches what you play.

JV Synth is polyphonic, with wavetable and supersaw, oscillator, modulation and effects pages, and a modulation matrix. The looper sits on the same screen as the pads, synth and keys, because those are what it captures.

FX · SYNTH: JV Synth with two oscillators, filter, envelopes and LFO, the looper strip above and the keyboard below.
  • Oscillators

    Wavetable and supersaw

    Polyphonic voices with wavetable and supersaw oscillators, run on an optimised audio engine.

  • Modulation

    Modulation matrix

    Envelopes and LFOs routed to any destination through the matrix, on OSC, MOD and FX pages.

  • Patches

    Saved presets

    Save and load patches; yours keep opening as the synth gains new features.

  • Keyboard

    Played on screen

    An on-screen keyboard right below the synth, with octave and transpose.

  • Looper

    CATCH

    The looper tracks capture what you play on the drum pads, the synth and the keys.

  • Instruments

    Piano, drums and guitar

    Piano, a drum kit on pads, a guitar fretboard and a pedalboard, opened on demand in BUILD.

Build · Studio

A production studio with tracks, inserts and automation.

BUILD becomes a studio: MIDI, audio and microphone tracks in an arrangement, each with its own effect chain and automation. Export the song or the whole project.

FX · BUILD in Arrange mode: bar ruler, Play song, loop, song length, add MIDI, AUDIO, MIC and LOOP tracks, and export.
  • Tracks

    16 MIDI tracks, audio and mic

    Record the microphone straight onto the timeline, aligned to the bar, next to MIDI tracks and audio clips.

  • Inserts

    Per-track effects

    EQ, filter, compressor, drive, delay and reverb on every track; the effects rack stays on the master.

  • Automation

    Automation lanes

    Volume, pan, cutoff, effect mixes, synth macros and plug-in parameters. Draw points or record them live.

  • Editing

    Piano roll and arrangement

    A full piano roll, block arrangement, per-track octave and transpose, undo and redo.

  • Export

    Bounce, MIDI and project

    Export the final audio, the .mid file or the .jvproj project to keep working later.

  • Plug-ins

    AUv3 hosting

    Beta

    Audio Unit v3 instruments and effects with the plug-in UI and state saved in the project. Tested with Apple's AUs.

Media Studio

MEDIA STUDIO: Compose, Video, 3D Stage, 4D and Audio.

MEDIA STUDIO has five tabs, one per kind of media, sharing one assets panel, timeline and inspector. What you make here goes to the visuals, to the stage or into a rendered film.

MEDIA STUDIO on the 4D tab: motion graphics with generators, scene objects and RENDER PRO applied to a ring.
  • MEDIA STUDIO on the 3D Stage tab: Product shot, Model, Paint and Studio starting points, and the inspector with the design kit.
    3D Stage · starting points
  • Compose

    Layers and background removal

    Drag-to-reorder layers, on-device background removal and sending the image to the 3D stage.

  • Video

  • 3D Stage

    Modelling, rigging and animation

    Extrude, inset, bevel, subdivide and mirror; PBR materials, lights and environment; auto rig and weight paint; a keyframe dope sheet; texture paint and MP4 render.

  • 4D

    Motion graphics

    Its own 3D scene with generators, cloners and effectors that follow the music, and that can run live as a VISUALS layer.

  • Audio

    Audio editor

    Trim, cut, fades, normalise and reverse on wav, mp3 and m4a files, exported as a new clip.

  • RENDER PRO

    Metal path tracer

    Take the 3D scene to a path tracer with tech launch, jewellery, logo sting, beauty and interior presets.

Visuals · Editors

Beta

Visual sequences on a timeline, nodes and modulation.

Beyond scene cards, VISUALS has editors to sequence and build effects. These editors are in beta and off by default.

VISUALS in Timeline view: a bar ruler, markers, transitions and group automation, next to the inspector.
  • Wire editor open on a group: image, mask and output nodes wired together.
    Wire · node editor
  • VISUALS layer inspector: transform, blend, filters and parameters, with the timeline below.
    Layer inspector
