I say in theory, because until you try a given combination of software in your environment, I wouldn’t trust it (long time in the computer industry = skepticism about untested hardware and software).

In theory, Camelot Pro will host all the B3 emulation apps Scott mentioned. I would clarify that the way to get the sounds that Scott refers to is to download Auv3 plug-in VST’s from the App Store, and to load them into Camelot Pro.

CP knows how to control your keyboard out of the box.Īs always, AnotherScott gives a great explanation! One of the nicest features of CP is it’s long list of predefined hardware SmartMaps, including for the MOXF8. You could combine the two, but you may find a single tool like CP is simpler. That said, CP is a much more efficient way to manage keyboard settings and will host and control VST’s within scenes, songs and setlists, which forScore can’t do. I am a heavy user of forScore on an iPad. They are responsive to questions and feature requests. The developers are actively updating CP to add features and to fix bugs. The product has been out for a number of years and has gone through many revisions. You control CP from almost any MIDI device. It automates control over plug-ins and hardware synths. I have never used MainStage, but from my understanding of it, Camelot Pro covers a lot of the same ground.ĬP organizes set lists, songs and scenes. You don't need the company names to look up apps, just type the names into the app store, they should come up. The most well-regarded Hammond B3 emulation apps for iOS are VB3m and B-3X. But can you use a combination of apps to achieve much of the same functionality? Yes, allowing for the subjectivity that comes when evaluating the sounds themselves. So the short answer, is there a single app for iPad that is reasonably close to Mainstage, the answer is no. Even then, whether or not their piano is the best available on iOS (or whether their largest one is the best they have to offer) is also open to debate. AFAIK, there's only one piano app with that ability, Colossus. I don't know what the limitations are, but few apps have the ability to play samples that are larger than the amount of available RAM.

The iPad apparently cannot stream large samples they way a Mac can. Either way, whether or not these are of Mainstage-calibre is subjective and depends on your needs.

There are a number of apps that have a wide selection of sounds, though you can often get better sounds when buying different apps for the different sounds. And then there are the apps you buy for the actual sounds. There are Mainstage-like apps for managing your access to sounds, like Camelot Pro and Keystage. a way to manage sounds in a live environment AND a library of actual sounds to manage.įor the most part, on an iPad, these two functions are separated. Thanks in advance for any help, greatly appreciated. I’m further assuming (but not sure), that the way it works is to use the USB out on my keyboard (in my case, a Yamaha MOXF8), into the iPad, set the MIDI channel, and then the iPad would produce the virtually-created sounds, which go back “out” thru the USB to be mixed in my keyboard (Yamaha MOXF8 or the like) to be mixed with the internally-created keyboard voices. Also, I therefore am using my one keyboard USB connection for the iPad / forScore and all the valuable things (IMHO) it does for me, like display all my music, lead sheets, Set Lists, writing with the Apple Pencil, and also instantly changes my keyboard settings needed for each piece of music.)

Can I get Main Stage type sounds & library from something on an iPad? (I have a MacBook Pro, but want to use only my iPad because I use the iPad for “forScore”, which I absolutely love and cannot do without. (I understand there is a “remote controller” that works on an iPad, but my understanding is that Main Stage itself still has to be on a full-fledged computer.) I’ve read here about some very good Hammond B3 software that I think runs on an iPad, but I don’t know what the formal software name is, etc. How do I get high grade sounds from an iPad (what specific software)? My understanding is that Apple Main Stage only works on a Macbook or the like. I’m at this pointed committed to the Apple / Mac world, as I use my MacBook Pro for Apple Logic Pro (which I’ve used for years) and a current iPad Pro (which I use for “forScore”). I’m looking for something like Apple Main Stage that I can run on my iPad.

company + full software product name) in order to even research it. Most of the time, I need the full name (ie. But most of the time, acronyms or short words are used, and for me, not very familiar with all these software products (or how to actually use them), that offers little help. Help please for this old timer (me): Kind of embarrassing, but here goes: I know there are numerous mentions of virtual sound/voice software mentioned here in this forum.
