What Steish is not

  • Not a DAW.

    Nothing is written or mixed in here.

  • Not a video editor.

    Material comes in finished.

  • Not a media player.

    A player knows nothing about bars, loops or jumps.

  • Not a backup plan.

    It is the instrument holding the show up.

This is how it reads when it counts.

What is playing, what is next, whether the loop is engaged and how much is left are on screen at all times, with nothing to open. The two controls below are real: they move the same playhead running above.

  • Dark by default

    A white screen on a dark stage blinds whoever is holding it, and the back row can see it too.

  • Readable from ten feet

    The critical number reads standing up, with the instrument on. If you have to lean in, it is badly designed.

  • 64 px hit targets

    It gets tapped sideways, in a hurry, sometimes with a pick in hand. Twelve pixels of air between critical controls.

  • Nothing modal live

    No dialog ever covers the timeline. Notices come in from the side and leave on their own.

Not twelve loose files.
One project.

The whole show is built in sequence and saved together. Between songs nobody is hunting for a file: it is already on the timeline, with its click, its video and its markers.

Prepare in the rehearsal room.
Perform on stage.

The heavy lifting happens at rehearsal. Live, nothing gets deleted, nothing gets reordered and no outputs get reassigned: that lives in edit mode.

  1. 01

    Load

    Backing track, click and video for every song. Material comes in finished: Steish does not compose or edit, it performs.

  2. 02

    Mark

    Bars, sections, loops, jumps and the MIDI and lighting cues. Once per song, at rehearsal.

  3. 03

    Launch

    One button per song and the whole set runs in sequence. The worst a mistaken tap can do is fire something early.

Questions

What people ask before trying it.

What is Steish?
Steish is a live show sequencer: the backing track, the click, the video and the markers for the whole set live on a single timeline and get fired from the stage. The entire show is one project, not twelve loose files.
Who is it for?
For bands that play to tracks, session players, musical directors, worship teams and technical production: anyone who needs the track, the click and the video to start together and stay together.
How is it different from a DAW?
A DAW is for writing and mixing; Steish is for performing. Material comes in finished and what you add is structure: bars, sections, loops and jumps. It is not a media player either, because a player knows nothing about bars or loops.
Is there anything to install?
No. Steish runs in the browser: go to app.steish.com and you are in. For audio we recommend a Chromium browser such as Chrome or Edge.
How much does it cost?
Starting is free: the Starter plan costs nothing and never asks for a card. The Pro and Team plans add cloud sync, export and teamwork. Current prices are inside the app, at app.steish.com.
Do I need internet on stage?
Not to play. The project and its files stay saved on the machine, so if the venue wifi drops mid-show, the show goes on. A connection is needed to sync and to open the project from another machine.
Which file formats does it accept?
Audio in MP3, WAV, OGG, AAC and FLAC; video in MP4; stills in JPG, PNG, WEBP and GIF. Material comes in finished: Steish does not compose or edit.
Does video go out to a second screen?
Yes. The video output opens in a separate window that goes to the projector or the second screen, hanging off the same clock as the timeline. That window shows picture and never emits sound.
Can I loop a section or jump to another one live?
Yes. Loops wait for the player instead of cutting them off, and from the live screen you can jump to any marked section. The change is armed when you tap it and lands on the next bar, never in the middle of one.

Take it to your next show.

Create the account, load the first song and launch it. It runs in the browser: there is nothing to install. The Starter plan is free and never asks for a card.
