Apple Mainstage

Anyone using it for the filterage/distortion in their lives? It seems like an obvious thing to do if you already have the hardware.

I've tried making a couple of patches, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. Would be great to just have a pedalboard on that but I can't make it work!

Must have a go at this time . although I think I would have to have it switched to from pedalboard via Boss ls2 pedal or something i think.

All I can say is that our keyboardist only uses Mainstage live now , two controller keyboards and a laptop , Rhodes pianos , strings samples you name it its all triggered from mainstage , and it all just works , bloody amazing if you ask me !

Yeah, a friend of mine uses it for keyboards in a cover band, and the synth player in my band uses it. I wouldn't mind having it to get some really synthy sounding bass; I don't fancy shelling out for a synth pedal! Also wouldn't mind it for some sounds that lean more towards noise.

I have been messing with it for chunks of the day and it is pretty intuative and really quick. Sounds good and really easy to balance levels etc etc. I think it could be the future.

Use it on a regular basis, however since a recent update.. it no longer runs on my MacBook and I'll now have to use my iMac.

How convenient.
