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.

I like the idea but not the sound of the drone. I tried to switch to Omnisphere but it doesn’t work. Is there a way to make it work. Otherwise I will probably not have so much use of the script…
This was my first official purchase from TWS. I am extremely happy with this product! It’s easy to use, and the tutorials are extremely helpful.

tiene un sonido de piano brillante, y un pad de fondo que no te deja solo, no importa si cambias de tonalidad lo puedes hacer también gracias al done tools sin que se note radicalmente la diferencia. Lo recomiendo para ministrar con piano si estas solo, te sostiene un montón. solo le faltaría modificar el tono del piano para mi gusto, pero es excelente el brillo y fuerza del piano, y ni hablar de pad de fondo que no silencia ni se corta.

Bought this to use it on Sunday mornings, now when I’m playing drums or leading worship I can put my midi keyboard next to me plugged into MainStage using drone tools and I can easily have background pads.
I would highly recommend if you don’t have a keyboard player on a Sunday morning or just want it for an acoustic session very handy! Can also be used without the Midi keyboard but I find the midi really helpful.
