Recommended / low-latency setup

A USB-C hub with a headphone jack lets Onstage run its Studio Driver (Android only) for the lowest, most stable latency. This is the best choice for live performance.

What you need

If your budget allows: add a DI box

A DI box goes between your headphone jack and the mixer. It keeps the sound clean over long cables and stops buzzing. Add one if your budget allows.

Not sure if your keyboard supports MIDI, or if it has a sound card? Check the model number in its manual or on the maker's website, then come back and pick the closest match.
