And it came for practically 'free' in GarageBand for IOS. When listened through headphones (or decent PA speaker amplification) it sounds like someone actually playing the piano. I now possessed in my hands the ability to 'play' a 'piano' in a manner that sounded like what would have previously taken hundreds to thousands of hours of training skill. When I first experienced these chord strips, it was shocking. Possibly you have tried the Touch Instruments Chord Strips on the iPad, to understand what I'm referring to. They will probably do so in the future (and try to make money off of it), or they realize that it will be too easy for people to play music, and it will in effect, kill the desire of the next generation wanting to tweak and fumble through their complicated software, and so they will hesitate to release it. Apple could already easily implement this, based on what I have seen so far. It, in effect, will provide a very simple 'dumbed-down' instrument that anyone can play. I will go ahead and try and explain what I want to do in more detail.

Is there software out there that will do what I just described above (if MainStage won't)?

Yes, this in essence, would be an even more dumbed down 'instrument' than the current 'smart keyboard' touch instrument that limits all notes being triggered to a particular scale. Alternatively, maybe the computer software (MainStage or alternative?) could take the same midi chord notes being sent to it over and over, but change (transpose) them to the actual chord demanded of the song at that point in time. If the midi controller can interpret a chord change in a song, then new chords could be automatically played, regardless of the midi key pad note being triggered, and be updated automatically as the song progresses. I want to send that chord/chord change information to an external midi controller (e.g., a midi keyboard, or touch panel instrument). Ideally, the chord changes in a song could/might correspond to marker positions in the song. What I'm trying to do is, somehow, embed chord information in an accompaniment track whether that track is a midi 'software instrument' or analog track (I think) doesn't much matter (at least, for now). I'm trying to see if it's even possible to get to 'point B' from my newbie status 'point A', and in an efficient manner. Right now, I'm not at the point of worrying about resource limitations, because I don't (yet) rely on 3rd party VST's the instrumental sounds and effects of the Apple solution(s) will for the most part, work for my purposes, I think. Since all of this is new to me, I find it daunting at times as I fumble along. Yours is an excellent post, for your taking the time to provide detailed feedback, explaining differences and the pros and cons of the different software. As with Live, Reaper is probably compatible with 32-bit plugs but you'll have to look into this yourself. I just had a quick look at the Reaper website and it apparently uses both VST and AU. However, I recommend trying Reaper as a possible alternative to MS because the dev is incredibly open and responsive to feedback, and Reaper is updated fairly frequently. On the occasions I tried it, I found Reaper to use more system resources than MS (esp CPU) for my particular requirements and it was an easy call to stick with MS. However, Reaper's focus is slightly different again and it's closer to Logic than MS. I've haven't used Reaper very much but a lot of my peers swear by it as an alternative to MainStage. For the life of me I can't understand how an innovative and well-funded company like Apple can't streamline MainStage to be far more efficient. However, MainStage and Live each have a different focus and later in 2009, I eventually moved to MS as my platform of choice.although I'm still flabbergasted about how resource-hungry it is. When I first started out with a software-based gig-rig at the beginning of 2009, I used Live because MainStage had only just been released and was still in its 'infant' was a worse resource hog than it currently is. I haven't kept up with the development of Live but it's probably compatible with 32-bit plugs.

However, Ableton Live is far more resource-friendly compared to MainStage, plus it uses VST in addition to AU.

I wouldn't regard what I'm about to mention as substitutes for MainStage because MS is the only software for Mac with its particular focus. I too want to know what the alternative is.ДЄre you going to delete this post, too, APPLE? Wow, I replied with an alternative a couple of hours ago and someone has removed my post.
