Before you begin
- An Android device running Android 7.0 or later, with space for the sound library.
- Internet access for installation and library downloads. Wired headphones or speakers are helpful; a MIDI keyboard is optional.
1. Install and choose your plan
- Tap Start free to begin a Free Demo.
- Tap Continue to enter the timed demo.
Install InPraise Keys from Google Play, then open it. Keep the device in landscape: the Android performance interface is designed for a wide screen.
Choose Free Demo to explore without purchasing. The demo is a timed preview: sessions last 20 minutes, some keyboard keys are muted, recordings stop at five minutes, and saving limits apply. Restart a demo session when it ends; do not depend on the demo for a live service.
- Free Demo
- 14 factory instruments, 4 channels, 2 pad packs, 3 saved presets, 2 states per preset, 2 setlists and 3 songs per setlist.
- Player
- 27 factory instruments, 8 channels, 6 pad packs, 15 presets, 4 states, 5 setlists with 10 songs each; full instrument keyboard and unlimited recording.
- Stage
- 76 factory instruments, 16 channels, 13 pad packs, unlimited saved presets and setlists; the current state editor supports up to 6 states; MIDI learn, effect order, preset export and compressed recording formats.
- Pro
- 113 factory instruments; Stage capabilities plus full synth editing, sampler/SoundFont imports, and saving synth and effect presets.
2. Wait for your sounds
- Tap Download to install the Pro sound library.
Tap Settings, then Download Manager in the category list, scrolling if needed. Use the back arrow to return to the list.
Wait until the sounds you need show as available. A visible instrument name alone does not guarantee its library file is ready. Keep a stable connection, check free storage, and retry failed downloads here. After the required files are on the device, those sounds can be used offline.
3. Find your way around
- Tap the instrument name to open its picker.
- Drag the channel fader to balance its level.
Use the top bar for presets, recordings and settings. The compact phone layout makes room by collapsing the preset/setlist sidebar when you open an editor. Close the editor to return to the full mixer.
A channel is one playable instrument. A bus combines routed channels for shared processing. The output strip controls the final mix. Mute silences a strip; Solo isolates it. If a sound seems missing, check both its channel and output controls.
4. Choose and play an instrument
- Choose K Felt Upright from the instrument list.
- Play a key to audition the current sound.
Tap an empty channel’s instrument area to open the instrument picker. Choose a factory piano, such as K Felt Upright, and wait for loading to finish. Start with one channel and a moderate output level.
- Choose the piano category in the instrument picker, then tap the instrument you want.
- Open the onscreen keyboard and tap a few keys. Turn the output down if the sound is too loud. Free Demo silences some keys; try an available key.
- Use the phone’s keyboard controls to change the visible range; close other panes when you need more room to play.
5. Add a pad layer
- Tap Edit Layers before changing note ranges.
- Read each colored bar for its layer's playable note range.
- Tap a key to choose the sustained pad note.
- Use the power button to start or stop Worship Pads.
Choose a second empty channel and select Choir Pad or another pad included in your plan. This makes a playable piano-and-pad layer: both channels respond to the same keys. Lower the pad’s fader until it supports the piano instead of covering it.
Worship Pads are a separate tool for sustained background ambience. Open Pads, choose an available key, and tap it to start the drone. Stop it before evaluating the balance of your instrument channels.
6. Save your first preset
- Tap Save to add this setup to your preset library.
- Select Sunday Piano Pad from My Presets.
Open the current preset row’s actions and choose Save to Library. Give the reusable copy a clear name, such as Sunday Piano Pad.
Confirm the save, then open User Presets > My Presets and verify the named copy is present. If another rig is active, select the row and tap Load Preset; if this copy is already active, play it to check that the instruments and balance return. Keep within your plan’s preset quota. Saving a preset stores settings; it does not bundle every external sample file.
Expected result
What you should have now
You can play a saved piano-and-pad sound, identify the mixer’s main controls, and confirm that its required library sounds are ready.
Common problems
- A key makes no sound
- Check Free Demo restrictions, instrument readiness, channel Mute/Solo, master Mute and the selected audio output.
- A sound keeps loading
- Return to Download Manager, check storage and connectivity, and retry the required bank before reopening the instrument.
- The preset will not save
- You may have reached the plan’s saved-preset limit. Remove an unwanted saved preset or choose a plan with a larger quota.
