Thank you for your perspective. I actually agree with most of what you're saying. I understand that the Stadium is a new platform and that complex products take time to mature. I've worked with enough technology over the years to know that development is never as simple as users would like it to be. My concern is not so much the existence of bugs in general. What worries me more is the click track stability. To me, that's a fundamental feature for live performance. I can understand advanced editing features, workflow improvements, or even some MIDI functions needing time to mature. But when a musician relies on an internal click during a show, it has to be rock solid every single time. A drum machine from 20 years ago could deliver a stable click, so I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the same from a modern professional device at this price point. That said, I appreciate the feedback from everyone here. It's helpful to know that some users are having a better experience than I am, and hopefully future firmware updates will continue to improve the Songs functionality and overall stability. Because honestly, the amp modeling is outstanding, and I'd love to see the rest of the platform reach that same level of maturity.

Interesting. Are you actually using Songs with the internal click track and MIDI events during live gigs? My issue isn't with the amp side of the unit. It's specifically the Songs feature. The click doesn't always seem perfectly stable, especially during the first two measures. Just trying to determine whether this is a bug affecting only some users or if others are seeing the same thing.

Hello, I am a professional musician based in France, performing several times a week on stage. I purchased the Stadium XL about six months ago because I believed it was designed as a professional-grade product. I use the unit extensively and rely on many of its features during live performances: Amp modeling Songs feature MIDI automation for lighting control Complex footswitch assignments While the amp modeling side is excellent, I am honestly disappointed by the current state of the Songs feature and some MIDI-related functions. The Songs feature still feels unfinished. The most critical issue is the click track stability. In my experience, the click is not always reliable, especially during the first two measures of a song. For a device marketed as professional equipment, this is simply unacceptable. Live performers need absolute confidence in timing and synchronization. Another major problem is song editing. If you need to modify or add a track within an existing song, the workflow is extremely cumbersome. In many cases, you end up having to recreate all locators, MIDI messages, and related programming from scratch. This is time-consuming and frustrating. We should be able to: Add a track without rebuilding the entire song structure Reorder or move tracks easily Edit songs without having to recreate all locators and MIDI events I have also encountered bugs related to footswitches, particularly when sending MIDI commands. In a live environment, reliability is not optional. Considering the price of the Stadium XL, I think users are entitled to ask a simple question: When can we expect a stable, mature, and truly professional version of the software? I bought this product because it promised to be a complete live-performance solution. At the moment, some key features still feel like work in progress. I genuinely want to keep using the Stadium XL, but if stability and workflow issues continue, I will eventually have to consider alternative solutions from competing manufacturers. I would be interested to hear whether other professional users are experiencing the same issues.
