Aliased channel strips lighten the load on your system by reusing the plug-ins you’ve already loaded. For example, the EXS sampler can put huge amounts of data to work for a single instrument by using all of the available memory in your Mac. MainStage leverages the power and efficiency of the Mac to deliver performance and sound quality that most hardware can’t touch. And new features in the Mixer make it easier to open, close, bypass, or re-order plug-ins. The Assignments & Mappings view shows all your hardware and screen control connections at a glance. And the Patch List editor gives you the flexibility to rearrange or skip Patches as your set list evolves. The EXS editor opens right in MainStage, making it easier to edit sampler instruments on the fly. Multimapping allows one knob to control multiple plug-in parameters, so you can dramatically change your sound with the turn of a single knob. When it’s time to put those sounds to work, MainStage gives you tons of options. You can also combine any sounds you like - even software and hardware sounds - in one Patch. Instead of squinting at tiny hardware displays, you get a bright, full-screen view that makes everything easy to tweak. Creating sounds with your Mac is so much simpler than relying on all kinds of external gear. If your control surface can receive status information from software, MainStage will send MIDI messages to keep your control displays in perfect sync. MainStage 3 also features pickup modes that make fixed controller knobs behave more like the endless encoder knobs found on high-end gear. And down the road, if your hardware fails when you’re about to go on stage, it’s quick and easy to swap it out. No more assigning knobs over and over for each preset. Just assign a physical control to an onscreen control, and it’s connected forever (or until you change your mind). It can connect with just about any external MIDI device on the planet. MainStage supports your addiction to knobs, buttons, and faders. Whether you’re rounding out your sound with a simple stereo backing track or a set of separate, mixable stems, all you have to do is step on a foot switch to jump to the next marker, adjust the tempo, arrange on the fly, or fade out smoothly. With Playback, your Mac becomes a flexible, reliable backing track player. And the next you can be creating bass loops with an external synth against an Ultrabeat drum pattern. One minute you can be playing some heavily distorted guitar with a full backing band. Each Patch works as a self-contained audio mixer and router, so you can completely change direction mid-performance. That means everything you use to perform is right on your Mac, giving you total control. MainStage features ReWire and MIDI-out support. With just the controls you need onscreen for your song, you’ll never have to hunt for the right knob. And you can set things up so each control is linked to a different parameter in each Patch. You get a full-screen, high-contrast, and high-resolution (Retina display-supported) view of your controls, so they stand out from across the stage. The MainStage and Smart Controls interface is designed especially for live performance. Knobs, faders, and switches you can’t miss. And you can easily use your favorite hardware to control every nuance of your performance. With the Mac as the core of your live rig, setup is faster, teardown is faster, and everything in between is more reliable. You’ll also find new features like an improved Mixer, easier-to-use channel strips, and more. You can even expand your show with prerecorded backing tracks. Everything from the Sound Library and Smart Controls you're familiar with from Logic Pro X is integrated into MainStage 3. Love the sound you got on your recording? MainStage 3 makes it easy to bring all the same instruments and effects to the stage. MainStage 3 lets you take your Mac to the stage with a full-screen interface optimized for live performance, flexible hardware control, and a massive collection of plug-ins and sounds that are fully compatible with Logic Pro X.The total performance package.
