Perhaps the best thing about MainStage is it's extremely affordable price tag. This simple principle is extremely powerful when brought to the stage. You are able to design your own way of accessing them. So, not only are you able to access all of Logic Pro X's sound content and software instruments as well as any third party plugins you may own.
