Why We Love Mainstage 3
MainStage is an excellent software for worship keyboard players. It offers a range of powerful features that can enhance the quality and versatility of your playing. Here are a few reasons why:
- Versatile Sound Library: MainStage comes with a vast collection of high-quality sounds. These include pianos, organs, strings, synths, and many more. These sounds are professionally designed and customizable, allowing you to create unique patches that suit your playing style.
- Easy-to-Use Interface: The software has a very user-friendly interface. This makes it easy to navigate and customize patches quickly. The interface can also be personalized with custom skins and layouts, providing an added level of customization.
- Visualized Layering: Layering instruments and sounds within MainStage allows you to build and use powerful and versatile patches. Layering can be used to create the perfect piano/pad combo, stack multiple instruments for easier real-time transitions, or explore and experiment with different combinations of instruments. In both the “edit-view” and “performance-view” modes, the layering and splits for every instrument are clearly visible and easily customizable.
- Performance-Focused Features: MainStage is designed with live performance in mind. This offers a full-screen performance view, playback controls, and advanced mapping options. MainStage controls and parameters can also be mapped to various MIDI controllers, giving you greater control of your patches in a live setting. This makes it an ideal choice for worship keyboard players needing a reliable and efficient live-performance solution.
- Flexible Routing: With MainStage, you can route your sounds to different outputs. Which can be particularly useful in a worship band setting. For example, you can send your keyboard sounds to the main PA system or a dedicated monitor mix for your personal use.
- Integration with Other Apps: MainStage integrates seamlessly with other apps like Logic Pro X, making it easy to record and edit performances. It also supports MIDI and OSC (Open Sound Control), allowing you to control other apps and devices.
Overall, MainStage is one of the best choices for worship keyboard players. There’s a reason why it’s the top choice for so many worship keyboardists. If you want a powerful and customizable software solution for your performance, Mainstage is for you.

10 Free Mainstage Patches For Worship
The template opens in MainStage 3 with ten patches in the patch list:
- Piano (FX+Octave)
- Piano+Pad
- Electric Piano
- Organ
- Strings
- Huge Pad
- Air Pad
- Air Bells
- Muted Pluck
- Power Saw
Here is a closer look at the five we walk through in the video above:
- Piano (FX+Octave): a classic grand piano with extra effects. Pull the mod wheel down for a dark, subdued piano, or bring up the octave layer when a lead line needs extra punch. Delay and reverb each have their own fader.
- Electric Piano: a rich electric piano modeled on a Rhodes, with the same delay and reverb faders. It works great on an intro like 10,000 Reasons.
- Strings: two layers on two faders. Slow strings for dark, ambient sections, and fast strings with a quicker attack for when the song builds. Use it behind a speaker, between songs, or as a low pad under the band.
- Huge Pad: one of our most classic sounds. A well-rounded synth pad that sits under the band in almost any song. The mod wheel takes it from dark and ambient to bright.
- Power Saw: a shimmery synth and a dirtier saw on two faders, bright and anthemic with the filter open. One knob adds a swelling pulse for songs in the style of Hillsong Young & Free and Planetshakers.
How the controls work: on every patch, the mod wheel opens and closes the filter (down is darker, up is brighter). Faders 1 and 2 set the layers, fader 3 is delay where a patch has it, and fader 4 is reverb. The template is already mapped to the Korg nanoKONTROL2, so it works with that controller straight out of the box, with tap tempo on the record button. The PDF in your download lists the controls and mappings for every patch.
