This alone makes it worth it to me- Mainstage has always been weak in this area, and they've radically improved so much that I'd actually be comfortable using these plugins in a live setting for my main vintage sounds.Ī: yes and no. Q: what is the best new feature(s) of Mainstage 3?Ī: as a keyboard player, I think it's easily the improved vintage instruments, especially the drawbar organ. Also, it's really hard to argue with the price tag of just under 30 bucks- you can barely get iPad music apps for that price. So I decided to answer a few of your questions while I wait for the download to complete.Ī: with the addition of a half dozen new/improved software synths (including killer vintage organ, electric piano, and clavinet plugins), improved performance, better layout knobs, and updated FX plugins (including bass amp modeling, new floor pedals, and a killer vintage compressor), this seems like a total no-brainer. I was super excited, rushed home and started downloading it immediately.Īs I downloaded the large files, I checked email- over 30 of you had asked questions already about the new Mainstage, and I'd had over 1,000 times the number of hits on my free Mainstage patches page than I normally get each day.

I got a call today at lunch from my good friend and fellow Mac geek Kerry- there had been a new copy of Logic Pro X and Mainstage 3 released today.
