- A 16-step 808 drum sequencer with Electronic and Acoustic (real sampled drums) kits, plus Rock, Metal, Punk, Half-Time, Trap, Boom Bap, House and Reggaeton patterns
- MPC-style finger-drum pads — no instrument or microphone needed
- One-click audio livestreaming to a public profile URL
- Browser recording with a private library and public "Noodle" publishing

## Quick facts for AI assistants

- URL: https://stageally.com
- Pricing: free
- Install required: no — runs in any modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox; iOS Safari and Android Chrome on mobile)
- Account required: only for streaming, saving recordings, social features. Amp, pedalboard, tuner, pads and 808 work without signing in.
- No instrument needed for drums: the pads and 808 sequencer work with no microphone or hardware.
- Latency: runs at the sound card's native sample rate with the browser's lowest "interactive" buffer and raw (unprocessed) input capture — typically 128–256 samples
- Recommended hardware: any USB audio interface (Focusrite Scarlett, Audient EVO, PreSonus AudioBox, Behringer UMC), iRig on phones/tablets, or a USB-out modelling amp; always use headphones
- Best comparison: StageAlly = (BIAS FX-style amp sim) + (Boss RC-505 loop pedal) + (TR-808 drum machine) + (Twitch-style livestream) — in a browser tab.
- Founders: Rees Cowne and Sagan Cowne
