SKENIA
A live rig
from software
to stage.
Two products. The app is a VST3 host that runs on your computer. The hardware is a hand-built MIDI stomp PC with its own OS and a touchscreen audio interface. Use one or both.

PRICED PER BUILDSkenia App
A live-performance VST3 plugin host. Build your signal chain in a node graph, switch entire rigs mid-song, and map every parameter to your hardware with MIDI learn. Runs on your own computer. Designed for the stage, not the studio.
Node graph
A free-wire canvas. Drag plugin cards, connect audio and MIDI ports, build any signal chain. Add any VST3 or AU plugin from your library. Bypass nodes with one click.

Each scene is a complete plugin chain. Switch and the new graph compiles on a background thread while the old one keeps playing, then a 40ms equal-power crossfade hands off. No dropout.
MIDI learn
Click LEARN next to any parameter, move a knob or pedal. The mapping shows the CC number, updates in real time, and persists in your show file.

Track view
Integrated DAW-style tracks for backing audio. Load files, set cue points, sync to scenes.
