Vessa Rig

Bring your library.

Your songs already have a history. Start with what you have prepared in Stage Traxx 4 or OnSong.

Moving in is free on every plan. Keep a backup of your source library while you check the import.

From Stage Traxx 4

  1. Have a Stage Traxx 4 song file (.st4s) or whole-library backup (.st4b) ready in Files on your iPad or iPhone. You can receive it by AirDrop.
  2. In Vessa Rig, open Go Live → ••• → Import… and choose the file. You can also tap a received file in Files to open it in Vessa Rig.
  3. For a .st4b backup, review the songs, track counts, regions, sizes and available space before copying anything. Tick the songs you want.
  4. Choose what to do with songs you already have: keep yours, replace them, or keep both. Choose whether to bring setlists and folders too.
  5. Start the import. Songs arrive one at a time. You can press Stop; importing the same backup again resumes the songs not yet imported.
  6. Play through your songs and check the mixer and output routing before a show.

The import carries stems, fader levels, pan, buses, mutes, EQ, tempo, key, trim, fades and regions. Whole-library imports also bring setlists and folders. A song’s MIDI patch change on load comes across.

Check this before you switch: timed MIDI events inside a Stage Traxx song are not imported. This guide covers Stage Traxx 4 files, not older Stage Traxx formats.

From OnSong or ChordPro

  1. Prepare an .onsong, .chopro, .cho or .chordpro file. For several charts from OnSong, use its Export ChordPro option and keep the resulting .zip.
  2. Save the file to Files or send it to your device with AirDrop.
  3. In Go Live, choose ••• → Import… and select the file. Lyrics, chords and section labels come across; a ChordPro ZIP imports the charts together.
  4. Check the imported charts. Chart files bring words and chords, not audio stems.

Words and tracks from different places?

When an imported title matches a song you already have, the Same song? sheet can join them. Choose Add audio for a lyrics-only song or Add lyrics for a song without words. If words already exist, the orange Replace choice makes that explicit. Import as a new song keeps them separate.

Ordinary imports add new songs; whole-library imports let you decide how duplicates are handled. Nothing asks you to delete your old library.
