of the pad is not distracting at all . Having this Tonic pad option available within MainStage , being able to change keys and fade the pad in and out so easily is a great asset for any worship team keyboard player .
As a keyboard player with a classical piano background , one of the most important things for me when evaluating a keyboard or software package is the realism of the grand piano sound . In that regard Sunday Keys 2021 doesn ’ t disappoint , offering several new custom-sampled instruments that were created specifically for Sunday Keys and are ready to go without the need to purchase or download anything extra .
The list of great reasons to invest in Sunday Keys 2021 goes on and on . 40 new layered patches bring the total of layered patches to over 190 . That ’ s a lot of options for your sonic palette ! In addition to this they ’ ve made creating your own custom sounds easy using Patch Builder , so the sonic possibilities are endless .
I ’ ve focused on the MainStage version of Sunday Keys 2021 here , but there are significant changes in the Ableton version as well . Regardless of which version you choose to use , you ’ ll find a wealth of great sounds and features that will be a major asset for you and what you bring to your worship team .
Sunday Keys Standard $ 75 ; Plus $ 149 ; Ultimate $ 199 SundaySounds . com
