![]() The sounds are all directly taken from Apple’s DAW Logic Pro X, and they can be designed to sound exactly like any keyboard sound you’ll hear on a praise album. Mainstage is so much more than just a keyboard- it has studio-quality effects and sample libraries that far out-perform any hardware synth on the market today. Mainstage 3 acts as a main keyboard (it generates all of the sounds that a normal keyboard would), but is triggered using a midi controller hooked into the Mac computer running the software. It’s completely re-inventing the way keyboardists play their music live. What’s the solution?įortunately, there’s an incredibly easy, inexpensive way to get around this problem every week- SoundPark + Mainstage 3.Īpple just released an amazing new version of their popular live performance software, Mainstage 3, just a few months ago. Even if there was money in the budget to buy a new keyboard, it would take hours of time each week and advanced technical knowledge to get the presets to sound like the original recordings. She’s playing the right notes, but she just isn’t able to get the right sounds out of that older keyboard. Everyone’s been practicing hard on the songs all week, but when you get onstage, something just doesn’t sound right. You’re a busy worship leader at a growing church with a bunch of volunteer musicians every weekend. You can read the whole blog with more hotlinks here. I really believe in what this company is doing for worship arts, and it's definitely worth the visit. ![]() It's just such an obvious idea.Note: this is a blog a wrote for 's blog. ![]() ĭamn, someone has to have built a plugin like this by now. and nothing kills that "I wonder what would happen if I started messing around with these cool sounding loops and layering them different ways" creativity than getting my program-on in the environment for an hour first. then I can start building other stuff around it. In this way I can throw it onto a single track in logic, and make "the dj track" if you will. multiple loops at a time, tempo synced & quantized. a plugin, where by I put it as a software instrument on a track, open it, select a number of apple loops, and then use midi notes to trigger the loops on and off. ![]() What I'm looking for is something simple. However, I kinda knew you could do this in the environment already (I mean what can't you do in the environment? LOL). but I'm looking for a non-hack way that is stable enough I won't be worried about it horking up on stage. It actually seems like someone would have made a plugin to do this already, but I've not found it.ĭoes anyone know of such a plugin? I mean I know you can sort of do it with ESX (minus the tempo sync/quantize) or ultrabeat (minus the looping). tempo-synced and with my toggle triggers quantized enough that I don't have to worry about my loops not lining up. I just want to queue up a grid of apple loops and be able to push button toggle them looping or not looping. I don't want to start over on a new thing. Except I don't want to have to buy and learn Ableton, because I already dropped a big chunk o' change on Logic and spent the last 4 years or so wrapping my head around it to the point where I'm finally getting comfortable with it. I want to be able to trigger tempo-synced loops in a live context. I'd love to be able to do this in either/both. Actually this could be a Mainstage or a Logic question.
