Drone Tools – a custom MIDI script and template for MainStage by Stephen Sherwood.
This works great for song transitions, or as an ambient pad that fills out a song.
Drone Tools is included in Worship Essentials Standard / Plus, Bass Essentials, and Worship Guitar Essentials.
You may have noticed that latch controls are not included in Mainstage. If you want to hold out a pad while you’re playing something else like a piano or a synth, you either need expensive gear or a third arm. This ambient pad solution solves that problem by adding latch controls to Mainstage!
The Mainstage template allows you to immediately get started. Drone Tools can also be added to an existing Mainstage template – no problem.
As performers, we tried to think of everything that most performers want out of their sustained pads. This eventually became the feature set of Drone Tools:Can be used in any Mainstage concert template
Supports flexible triggering methods like mini keyboards, MIDI controller pads, on screen buttons, etc.
Automatically fades in and out on demand
Automatically fades between key presses
Supports sustaining any instrument, so players can experiment with using their own pad sounds
Sustained notes fit into any major or minor key
Players can customize the number of intervals played
Players can manually fade their pad sound in and out using the included cutoff or volume controls
Intuitive. Feels like playing a real instrument.
