You’re a busy worship leader at a growing church with a bunch of volunteer musicians every weekend. Everyone’s been practicing hard on the songs all week, but when you get onstage, something just doesn’t sound right.
Plug-ins and Sounds. MainStage gives you a massive collection of plug-ins and sounds to fuel your performance. The ever‑growing Sound Library is also a powerful source of inspiration, thanks to Patches that allow for rich layers of instruments and effects — and Smart Controls that let you easily shape any sound. Since we started Sunday Sounds four years ago we've given a lot of MainStage patches away. For the last two years we've sent out a new free patch every singl. Ciel Ouvert is a MainStage preset pack made for christian worship musicians. Created with basic plugins. You are free to modify the patches to suite you.
I send out a free email from time to time about product launches, tutorials, and more. If you’d like to be on the list, you’ll get 10 free patches for signing up. Sign up for Nord Stage 3 updates. Sign up for MainStage updates.
It’s the keyboardist again. She’s playing the right notes, but she just isn’t able to get the right sounds out of that older keyboard. 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. What’s the solution?
Fortunately, there’s an incredibly easy, inexpensive way to get around this problem every week.
Mainstage 3
Apple just released an amazing new version of their popular live performance software, Mainstage 3, just a few months ago. It’s completely re-inventing the way keyboardists play their music live.
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.
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. 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.
Setup is super-simple. All you need is a Mac computer and an inexpensive midi controller (you can often use the midi-capable keyboard you already own using a usb to midi interface) and you’re good to go. And with Mainstage 3 costing a ridiculously low $29.99, you can afford to buy a copy for every keyboard player on your team, allowing them to practice, tweak, and perform with Mainstage 3 on their own laptop.
Patches from Loop Community
Mainstage 3 is a wonderful tool for live performance, but by itself there’s still the problem of getting the sounds in Mainstage 3 to sound exactly like the original recording. Enter Patches by Loop Community.
Loop Community is the best place on the internet to find custom worship presets that you can instantly load into a variety of music software programs, including Mainstage 3. Want to find that pulsing synth intro on “Strength Will Rise”? With one click, you’ve got it. Need that mellotron-ish strings and piano for “Give Me Your Eyes”? It’s as simple as searching Loop Community’s database of patches.
Once you’ve downloaded the sound you like for Mainstage 3, it’s as simple as dragging it into your Mainstage project. All of the sounds, notes, arpeggiators, and effects will automatically load into your project, ready for next time you take the stage.
Loop Community offers most of the patches for only $1.99, with some presets available for free. There’s no restrictions on these patches, either- you can share them with your entire team and modify them all you want.
