What are the differences between Worship Beats Volume 1, 2, 3 and 4?

What is Worship Beats?

The Worship Beats series for MainStage generates live, totally customizable worship loops in real-time in MainStage 3, with no pre-recorded phrases used. This means you have total control over the tempo, textures, and sounds present in the loop, both in preparation for your performance and on-the-fly from the stage.

With no third-party plugins or samples required, Worship Beats makes it easy to supplement your live drummer with auxiliary percussion and electronic drum sounds, or to handle all of the rhythm work from MainStage in acoustic or solo performance contexts.

In Worship Beats you can change tempos on the fly via tap tempo, transition seamlessly from one beat to the next, and smoothly fade beats in or out without cutting off your keyboard sounds.

Worship Beats is designed specifically for users of our Sunday Keys MainStage Template and is pre-mapped to Section 4 of SK’s modular sections. Whether you’re using the Korg nanoKontrol2, TouchOSC, or any other midi controller it’s totally intuitive to take hands-on control of these loops.

What are the differences?

Worship Beats Volume 1 is aimed towards more electronic, digital drum machine style beats. It has a lot of the modern, electric drum sounds you might here in Young and Free type bands.

Worship Beats Volume 2 is aimed towards more acoustic drum beats.

Worship Beats Volume 3 & Volume 4 has a good mix of both acoustic and electronic drum beats.
