What you need

SYSTEM

Android 8.0 (Oreo) or later, 64-bit

SCREEN

Landscape, on phones and tablets.

STORAGE

Light to install, and it opens straight away. The Pro sounds (The Grand, the Strings and the brass) are about 1.4 GB, and they download when you start the trial or buy Pro, so Wi-Fi is best.

KEYBOARD

Any USB MIDI keyboard, if you have one. There are on-screen keys too.

EXTRAS

A Bluetooth page-turner pedal, to press GO with your foot

INTERNET

Only to install it, start the Pro trial or buy Pro, and download the Pro sounds

Getting set up

  1. Install WaveStage from Google Play.
  2. Open it. When you start the Pro trial or buy Pro, Google Play brings the Pro sounds (The Grand, the Orchestral Strings and Wave Analog's brass, about 1.4 GB in all), so do that on Wi-Fi. WaveStage shows you how far along they are.
  3. Allow notifications. They keep the sound playing with the screen off.
  4. Press GO to step through the Demo Set, then plug in your keyboard and play. If you'd rather have one simple mixer and no songs, switch to Casual in Settings › Preferences.
  5. Then try the first tutorial, Your first sound.

What WaveStage asks for, and why

  • Notifications and media playback: so the sound keeps going when your screen turns off.
  • Network state, staying awake, resuming after restart: these come from Google Play's download library, and they're only there so it can bring you the sounds.

Nothing else. WaveStage doesn't use your microphone, camera, location, contacts or photos.

What's in 1.0

A 7-band EQ with a real-time analyzer, in every channel's rack and on the Master page.

A Scenes page that shows what's playing, what GO plays next, and exactly what it'll change.

The Orchestral Strings get a stage of their own, with desks, divisi and a bow that follows your touch.

A Tone filter on every instrument.

Studio pages with buttons big enough for a finger.

Up to 16 channels, and the ones you add can be removed.

Each instrument's presets now sit where you'd find them on the real thing.

DOOG's 16-step sequencer, with slides, accents and swing.

Feel the controls: buttons, knobs and GO tap back under your finger.

Back closes whatever's on top, one layer at a time.

Echoes, arpeggios and patterns can follow each song's tempo.

Your privacy

WaveStage doesn't collect personal information. There's no account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking, and the app itself never goes online: Google Play handles the downloads and buying Pro.

  • Your files stay on your device: sessions, Events, settings, presets and the SoundFonts you import. Your device's own backup can include all of these except the SoundFonts, and you control that in its settings.
  • MIDI from your keyboard and controllers is played, never sent anywhere.
  • The Grand and the Strings come from Google Play, under Google's privacy policy. WaveStage only receives the files.
  • Crash reports stay on your device unless you choose to send one.

Policy updated 8 November 2026. Read the full privacy policy; you'll also find it in the app under Settings › About. Questions? Get in touch.

Common questions

Will it work without internet?

Yes. It needs a connection only to install it, to start the Pro trial or buy Pro (the trial needs one to start), and to download the Pro sounds. After that it plays offline.

Can I use my own sounds?

Yes. Import your SoundFonts (.sf2) in Library › Soundfonts and put them on any channel you like.

Will my keyboard work?

If your device can see it over USB, yes. The Arturia KeyLab Essential mk3 gets its own mapping, screen and buttons included, and the Arturia MiniLab 3, the Novation Launchkey MK4, Launchkey Mini MK4 and Launchkey MK3, the Akai MPK Mini MK3 (its knobs), the M-Audio Oxygen Pro 25, 49 and 61, and the Alesis V25, V49 and V61 (their knobs) are mapped the moment you plug them in. With any other keyboard, you can use MIDI Assign to put its knobs and buttons on whatever control you want.

Arturia, KeyLab, MiniLab, Novation, Launchkey, Akai, MPK, M-Audio, Oxygen and Alesis are trademarks of their owners. WaveStage isn't made by or affiliated with any of them.

Can I move my set to a new device?

Yes. Export your Events (that needs Pro), then import them on the new device (that works in the free version too). Bring your SoundFonts across too, and keep their file names the same.

How much does it cost?

It's free to download. Pro is a one-time purchase, with no subscription. We'll announce its price when WaveStage comes to Google Play. Ask to be told and you'll hear first.

Is it coming to iPhone and iPad?

Yes, after the Android release. There's no date yet. Ask to be told and you'll hear the day it's out.

Is there a version for computers?

Not for now. WaveStage is made for the phone or tablet you take on stage.
