This competitive crossgrade lets users of Camelot 2.1, Cantabile, Gig Performer or MainStage switch to VST Live 3, Steinberg’s live performance system for sound, lights, video and cameras.

VST Live 3 is designed for everything from club gigs to big stage productions and live streaming: backing instruments, vocals, lyrics and chord tracks, MIDI, lighting effects and cameras run in sync with every song in your set list. You build your sounds in layers from virtual instruments such as Flux, Trip and Groove Agent SE, integrate hardware synths via MIDI, and the sequencer handles patterns, samples and click tracks for every band member. Lighting is controlled via DMX, lyrics and chords are sent over the network to the band’s devices, and you can make multitrack recordings of your performance. The Video Director automates camera switching, and the direct OBS connection streams the show live.
