Sunday Keys is an all-in-one solution for live worship keys that features everything you need to prepare and perform from the stage with confidence. 

Sunday Keys includes all the worship piano and keyboard Sounds you need including acoustic and electric pianos, warm, shimmery pads, and so much more. You'll find powerful workflows and features that both save you time and unlock fluid, inspiring live performances. 

When you purchase a Sunday Keys license you're given access to Sunday Keys in all available formats, currently including standalone App, MainStage, and Ableton Live. 

The App includes a growing library of worship Sounds, ready to play layered Patches, a suite of audio and MIDI effects and articulate control of sound design details including ADSR, filter modulation via mod wheel, and more. 

The App makes it easy to create, manage, and even Share your Setlists and includes all the essential features you'll need to take control like Tap tempo, Play In and Hear In transposition, Audio, CPU, and MIDI settings, and full MIDI Learn functionality that supports both hardware and bluetooth MIDI connections.

The Sunday Keys App can be installed on any iPad device running iOS14 or newer and on both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs running OS Ventura or newer. 

 We’ve tested the App across a range of supported devices including the base iPad (as early as 6th generation), iPad mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro and a variety of Macs from older Intel machines to the newest M2 MacBook Pros.

Experience will vary from device to device with more powerful devices capable of better, faster, and more reliable performance. 

The App has been programmed to accommodate various iPad and Mac models and you can adjust relevant settings within the App for your device including adjustable Audio buffer size, adjustable Patch loading settings, and graphics optimizations all focused on optimizing CPU usage. 

iPads featuring USB-C or Lightning ports can be used, just note that the hardware adaptors required will vary based on your iPad’s port-type. Mac connectivity is simple and can be expanded with a USB hub, if needed. More information on connecting gear is detailed in the Sunday Keys App User Manual.  

The gear connections required to use an iPad or Mac are straightforward and similar to traditional software keyboard setups.

You’ll need: 

An iPad capable of running iOS 14 or newer  or a Mac capable of running MacOS Ventura or newer.

 You can install the Sunday Keys App on the base iPad, iPad mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro and on any Mac with MacOS Ventura or newer installed. Experience and necessary CPU optimizations will vary based on your device’s processing power. 

For iPads with a USB-C port: 

• A USB-C hub capable of power delivery (and a power supply capable of delivering a minimum of 30W of power to that hub, if not built-in).
  
  Note that the charger that came with your iPad is not capable of delivering adequate power to your USB-C hub. 

For iPads with a Lightning port: 

• An official Apple Camera Connector Kit 
  
  Your iPad power supply will connect directly to the Lightning port on the Camera Connector Kit, supplying power directly to your iPad. 
  
  
• A powered USB-A hub. This hub must be powered from a wall outlet and will connect to the USB-A port on the Camera Connector Kit. 

For Macs: 

• a charger to ensure your device maintains power during performance is recommended.

A driverless, class-compliant audio interface to connect to your soundboard is required for iPad, meaning it does not require any special drivers or software to operate. 

Most interfaces from popular brands like Focusrite, iConnectivity, Behringer, M-Audio, Radial, etc are class-compliant and can be used. If your iPad features a built-in headphone jack, you can alternatively use a headphone adaptor to run the audio out to your soundboard. 

The Mac format also includes support for audio interfaces that use a driver compatible with MacOS. 

You’ll connect your audio interface to your USB hub and use its Audio Outputs to connect to your soundboard or headphones. 

For iPad, a driverless, class-compliant MIDI controller .

The Mac format also supports midi controllers that use a driver compatible with MacOS. 

You can connect up to two MIDI controllers at the same time.

You can connect your MIDI controller over a hardwired connection in a number of ways: 

• Via a USB cable connected directly to your USB hub. This will supply power to most MIDI controllers directly. 

• Via a MIDI cable connected to a compatible Audio Interface. This will require a separate power supply be used to power your MIDI controller. 

• Via a MIDI to USB adaptor cable, connected directly to your USB hub. This will require a separate power supply be used to power your MIDI controller. 

You can also connect to wireless MIDI devices over Bluetooth, assuming that those devices are compatible.

Touchscreen Control  (iPad only)

You can control every element of the Sunday Keys App directly within the App itself by touch. This includes all faders, knobs, and buttons, the mod wheel and a toggle-able sustain button. The App also features an onscreen keyboard that can display 24 or 88 simultaneous keys and can be touched to directly trigger notes.  

Both the iPad and Mac formats feature full support for all driverless and class-compliant Midi and Audio Hardware, and the Mac format includes additional support for hardware that requires a MacOS driver.

If your gear is driverless and class-compliant, then you should be able to use it with the Sunday Keys App. 

Popular hardware from many manufacturers is class-compliant and should be plug-and-play. If you’re not sure if your hardware is class-compliant, consult the user manual for your hardware for more information. 

For example, we know many worship keys players enjoy using the Korg nanoKontrol2. This device is class-compliant so it can be easily used within the Sunday Keys App. 

Popular hardware MIDI controllers like the M-Audio Keystation and Hammer88 series, Arturia Keylab series, Studiologic SL series, and many more are all class-compliant.

Audio interfaces from popular brands like Focusrite, iConnectivity, Behringer, M-Audio, Radial, etc are class-compliant and can be used. 

If you’re not sure about your hardware check the user manual or manufacturer’s website to confirm. 

The Sunday Keys App is a ground-breaking solution built from the ground up for live keys players in a contemporary worship context with a multi-year roadmap of new features and improvements in the works. 

We're just getting started making Sunday Keys address the unique needs of worship keys players like no other option on the market can and as a part of this community you can have a voice in shaping the future of Sunday Keys!

The Sunday Keys Sound Libray is being actively converted to be available within the Sunday Keys App, so you should expect to see the available Sounds and ready-to-play Patches continue to grow over time.

Once every existing Sound and Patch available in Sunday Keys' other formats is available in the App, the Sound Library will adopt a monthly update cadence, just as users of the MainStage and Live formats currently enjoy. If you decide to turn off auto-renew for your Sunday Keys License, you'll stop receiving updates to the Sound Library after your license year ends. If you ever choose to renew that license at a later date you'll immediately receive everything you 'missed' in-between. 

The App itself will receive periodic updates as we have new features and improvements, and bug fixes available. Updates to the App itself will always be made available to everyone, regardless of the status of your Sunday Keys License, to ensure ongoing compatiblity with iPadOS and MacOS and across devices. These updates do not include new Sounds, they will update the App's performance  and compatiblity. Some new App features may require an active Sunday keys license be maintained.

You'll never lose access to Sounds you receive during your license year, even if you don't renew your license. 

This is not like Netflix, you don't need to maintain a subscription to use what you've received. 

Think of it like a magazine where you'd receive a new issue in the mail each month. If you chose to cancel that magazine delivery of course you'd get to keep all the issues you'd already received. That's true with Sunday Keys as well! You'll receive a new update to the Sunday Keys Sound Library each month, for as long as you keep your license active and that content will always be yours to access within the Sunday Keys App.

If you prefer a one time expense you can simply turn off auto-renew within your User Account. After your license year ends you'll no longer receive SK Sound Library updates or features exclusive to those with an active Sunday Keys License but will continue to be able to use the Sunday Keys App with all the Sound Library content you received up to that point.

Should you ever purchase another Sunday Keys license at a future date you'll immediately receive all previous content that has been released in the mean-time!

Short answer, with realistic user expectations and across most devices, absolutely yes!

Detailed answer: Modern iPads and Macs available for sale today are all incredibly powerful, even the lower-cost models. 

We’ve worked hard to develop the Sunday Keys App with reliable live performance and resourceful programming techniques from the ground up to deliver an experience that is optimized for as many potential devices as possible. 

The Sunday Keys App can be installed on any iPad device running iOS14 or newer and any Mac running OS Ventura or newer. 

We’ve tested the App across a range of supported devices including the base iPad (as early as 6th generation), iPad mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro and a variety of Macs from older Intel machines to the newest M2 MacBook Pro.

Experience will vary from device to device with more powerful devices capable of better, faster, and more reliable performance. 

The App has been programmed to accommodate various iPad and Mac models and you’ll be able to adjust relevant settings within the App for your device including adjustable Audio buffer size, adjustable Patch loading settings, and graphics optimizations all focused on optimizing CPU usage. 

iPads featuring USB-C or Lightning ports can all be used, just note that the hardware adaptors required will vary based on your iPad’s port-type. Mac connectivity is simple and can be expanded with a USB hub, if needed. More information on connecting gear is detailed in the Sunday Keys User Manual.

Users with less powerful devices may find that they need to optimize settings and/or the size of their setlists to get the best performance. 

For example, a user on a 6th generation base iPad may need to utilize a higher audio buffer size, reduce the number of pre-loaded Patches, or include fewer Patches in a single Setlist than someone on an M1 iPad Pro or MacBook Pro.

If your device is struggling to keep up with the performance demands of the App you may notice audio crackles, slower/sluggish Patch changes, or choppier visuals. These are all indications that you should consider making adjustments to the App’s settings and/or reduce the size or complexity of your programmed Setlists to improve performance. 

We are confident that all compatible iPad and Mac models will be able to dial-in a reliable Sunday Keys experience. If you end up having trouble, we're here to help. The App is also programmed to suggest setting optimizations intelligently based on your device's capabilities.

The Sunday Keys App is now available on both iPad and Mac. It is not available for iPhone or Android and there are no plans to expand to those formats anytime soon.

While it may be possible to operate the Sunday Keys App at the same time as other popular apps focused on live worship music, caution should be used to ensure reliable live performance.

Your experience when multitasking is likely to be influenced by a number of factors, including the specific Apps involved, your iPad or Mac's capabilities, and the specifics of your use case and hardware. 

We always recommend stress-testing any possible combination of software in a non-performance context before taking it to the stage.  

It's simple and only takes a minute!

1) Purchase your Sunday Keys License from this page

2) Download the Sunday Keys App from the App Store on your iPad or Mac

3) Open the App and login with your SundaySounds.com account email to register your device

That's it! With an active Sunday Keys License you'll unlock the full Sunday Keys Sound Library within the App and also receive regular updates and additions to the Sound Library while your Sunday Keys License is active. 

Each Sunday Keys License includes one year of Sound Library updates and auto-renews by default. Turn off auto renew anytime after you purchase from within your User Account. 

You'll never lose access to Sounds you receive during your license year, even if you don't renew your license and will continue to be able to use the content you received within the App, but will no longer receive additional Sound Library updates after your license period ends. Some new features may require an active Sunday Keys license be maintained.

You'll need to purchase a Sunday Keys License from SundaySounds.com to make full use of the Sunday Keys App. 

If you download the App from the App Store but do not have an active Sunday Keys License, you'll be able to try out the App in Demo Mode with a limited selection of Sounds and features. 

After you decide to purchase a Sunday Keys License, you'll be able to open the App and choose "Check for Downloads" to unlock the full Sunday Keys App experience! 

If you purchased an earlier version of the Sunday Keys Template for MainStage or Ableton Live (before October 27, 2021) you can upgrade to a new Sunday Keys License at a discount! Contact us to let us know you'd like to see your upgrade options. 

You can easily access updates to the Sunday Keys Sound Library by navigating to "Check for Downloads" within the App. Updates to the Sound Library will be released regularly.

Here's how to check for and download updates to the Sunday Keys Sound Library from within the App: 

Open the Menu in the top right corner of the main screen and select “Check for Downloads” from the menu. 

Select “Update” when you see an update available there to receive the latest version of the Sunday Keys sound library. If you see a checkmark next to an item, you already have the most recent version of that content.

The App itself can be updated within the iPad or Mac App Store. We recommend users turn off "Auto-Update" on their device to avoid the Sunday Keys App being updated without their intentional decision to do so, to ensure each user has plenty of time to try out each update in a non-performance context before hitting the stage. 

The Sunday Keys App incorporates everything we’ve learned over the last six + years of programming Sunday Keys in other formats to deliver an experience specifically tailored to the worship keys player. 

The Sunday Keys App shares the same focus as the existing Sunday Keys formats: delivering a user-friendly worship keys rig with incredible Sounds, fast and efficient workflows, and reliable live performance on stage. 

We believe the Sunday Keys App stands alongside and complements Sunday Keys’ other formats. One of the greatest strengths of the App is its emphasis on simplicity and a feature set conceived for live worship keys from the ground up. 

All of the familiar features Sunday Keys users count on are present in the App including an incredible sound library (with more Sounds continuing to be added regularly), easy Patch creation, fast and intuitive workflows, the Tonic Pad Player, simple transposition, tap tempo, seamless transitions from Patch to Patch, and much more. 

Users who enjoy using Sunday Keys in one of its existing formats may very well be content to continue utilizing that format while others may find the App even better suited to their needs and desired outcomes.  

We know many Sunday Keys users have go-to Sounds and Patches they’ve found or designed in Sunday Keys for MainStage or Live. 

While you won't be able to automatically transfer Patches from MainStage or Live formats, we believe you'll be able to recreate them in the App in a fraction of the time using the same custom-sampled Sounds and instruments found in Sunday Keys' other formats. 

As we're still building out the Sunday Keys App's Sound LIbrary you may not find all of your favorite Sounds or Patches are available yet, but rest assured we’ll be working hard to bring the entire Sunday Keys Sound Library to the App in the coming months.

We plan to continue to add new features and functionality to the Sunday Keys App, delivering regular improvements to workflows, quality of life features, and all new ways to inspire and perform. 

The good news is, you’ll have access to all formats of Sunday Keys with an active Sunday Keys license, so you don’t have to choose unless you want to! 

For now the Sunday Keys App is focused on the core Sunday Keys experience, with no expansion sound libraries or Song Specific Patches available until after we've fully recreated the Sunday Keys Sound Library within the App. 

We do plan to bring an incredible Song Specific Patch experience to the Sunday Keys App at a later date. More details will be provided as they are available. 

After the full Sunday Keys Sound Library is available in the App we will also work to make our most popular sound libraries available in Sunday Keys App format, starting with the expansion libraries available to those who own a Sunday Keys Ultimate license.  

We are presenting the Sunday Keys App as a new option available to all Sunday Keys users, not to specifically replace the MainStage or Ableton Live formats.

Those who enjoy their experience in the MainStage or Ableton Live formats will continue to be supported by our team and will continue to receive an update to the Sunday Keys Sound Library every month, just as we’ve been delivering up to this point. 

If in the future we foresee any changes that will have an impact on Sunday Keys in any format, whether it be MainStage, Live or the App, we will endeavor to provide notice of such changes to all users far in advance. As there is justifiable demand for these formats long-term, we plan to continue to support them.
