Articles about the Scripter plug-in and scripts are intended for advanced users who are developing their own MainStage programming.
The Scripter plug-in significantly expands the functionality of MainStage and Logic Pro by allowing you to create and run custom scripts. These JavaScript-flavored scripts can manipulate MIDI, and behave like any other plug-in in your concert. MagicFox is pleased to provide several scripts. These scripts are freely distributed for personal, non-commercial use. Please contact us to inquire about purchasing a license for commercial use.

Scripts are saved as .pst files. To ensure successful downloads, we compress our scripts into a .zip archive.
