What is MUSEIK and StageSync?

With Muséik there are no click tracks, no time codes and no bumpers & streamers. Just freedom to play at any tempo and have your digital files follow naturally. Muséik treats digital assets as if they were a musical instrument using an embedded score and a simple slider. And its easy. A perfect sync is possible with a laptop computer and twenty minutes of practice!
