APPLE MAINSTAGE FOR WINDOWS PC
I read that Ableton might be a possibility for a PC alternative, but again, not sure how feasible that is. A friend of mine says Kurzweil PC 3s and 4s are pretty good about letting you program a show right into them, but I'm not sure if that's ideal. Since my older keyboard recently got damaged, I'm in the market for a new one, and I want to do it right.Įverything I've read more or less says that I should have MainStage, but since I don't own any Apple products, I'm wondering if there's an alternative. Part of the reason I was able to score some gigs was because all I had, and needed was a phone, and I could hook up to almost any keyboard they had.I've been playing keyboard in community theatre for years, but I've never gotten into programming/patches.

Thanks, loopy pro with some midi plugin sound great idea to said:

Plus Loopy is pretty much unbeatable in flexibility, if you want to map external hardware controllers, pedals, whatever, I don’t think there’s anything better. It’s really just an intermediate layer, a little bit more complicated than if Loopy implemented midi tracks, but not a dealbreaker. Check out our videos and tutorials to sound even more.

Then just map a Loopy control to play, rec… whatever. MainStage is the industry standard software for keyboard programming in musical theater around the world. MainStage 3 is an app designed and developed for OS X and macOS systems that helps to create music and sounds for your live show. You can use Atom or LK for midi editing, recording. Loopy doesn’t have midi tracks or clips but it has really good midi routing and commands.

I’ve actually played for a TV show with this setup this year. I bought a 2012 Mac for $200 CAD and it runs MainStage.īack to your original question, I personally use Gadget 2 with Korg Module, Pure Synth Platinum, and SynthMaster One, combined with Audiobus 3 and they fulfill what I need off MainStage. There’s no such thing as impossible if you really put your mind to it.Īgreed. If you really want or need it, earn the money from playing live or do some work on the side and buy yourself a Macbook Air. I don’t think there are any credible competitors to MainStage. I have Cantabile on Windows, but would love to have something similar for more mobile iPad I don't have mac and unlikely will ever have it. It does some things awesome, but you can combine apps and effects to do things even better than some setups. Umm…why not just use MainStage? Sounds like you already have a solid workflow with it. Plus Loopy is pretty much unbeatable in flexibility, if you want to map external hardware controllers, pedals, whatever, I don’t think there’s anything said: Apple's minimum system requirements to open MainStage are: 4GB of RAM OS X v10.11 or later Minimum 6GB. Then just map a Loopy control to play, rec… whatever. You will want to make sure your computer has some basic system requirements to run MainStage. You can use Atom or LK for midi editing, recording. Apple MainStage Specifications Price: 30/29/33 System requirements: macOS 10.15.

If you need to change songs on the go I wouldn’t risk it with Zenbeats or a daw-oriented app. is right, for live performance Loopy is a better fit. (Disclaimer: I have not and probably never will perform live with iPad. If I wasn't currently so hooked on Loopy, I'd use Zenbeats all the time. Otherwise, Zenbeats is really, really good. You might want to dip in there for a look around if you're considering it. There are plenty of people using Loopy for performance who are very active on the Loopy Pro Discord. But be sure to have plenty of time available in those 7 days because you will need it to discover and experiment a lot in that time. You can evaluate Loopy Pro for 7 days for free. Which is best would depend on your workflow needs and would require experimentation and testing. Running LK, Helium, Atom, or Drambo in it could work for midi looping until Loopy Pro gets it.

If I was thinking about a solution for performing live I would first try Loopy Pro. It may have some advantage for you that it has a Windows version as well. Anyway, it's free to try it out to at least get a basic feel for it.

When I last tried was probably a year ago. Also, I know it can follow midi clock, but I'm not sure how smooth that is. Zenbeats is great and does have the things you listed, but may not work for you in that respect. Is this for performance purposes? If so then smooth transitions when loading songs is probably important.
