Before you begin
- Android 7.0 or later; Google Play access for installation.
- A reliable internet connection and sufficient space for your chosen library sounds.
Installation and landscape
- Tap Start free to begin a Free Demo.
Install InPraise Keys from Google Play and open the app. Read the first-run plan choices, then choose Free Demo or the plan you own. The current Android app runs in landscape, so rotate your device before setting up your performance workspace.
Use wired audio where practical. Bluetooth audio can introduce noticeable delay even when MIDI arrives promptly. Check the selected output with your volume low before connecting to a PA.
What each plan includes
- Tap Restore purchases to re-check prior purchases for this account.
Plans are cumulative: a higher plan retains the capabilities of the lower plans. Instrument access is also allocated by plan; check the picker and Plan page for a particular sound. K Felt Upright, Choir Pad, Seven-X Electric Grand and Lately Bass are Free Demo choices; Warm Pad requires Player; Signature Grand and Mark II Tine Classic require Stage.
The pad-pack counts below refer to sound packs, not the number of playable musical keys. Free Demo locks C♯, D♯, F♯ and G♯ pad keys; Player unlocks all pad keys. The demo also mutes a specific selection of keyboard notes.
- Free Demo
- 14 factory instruments; 4 channels; Shimmer and Soft Choir pad packs; 3 saved presets; 2 states per preset; 2 setlists with 3 songs each. 20-minute sessions with a short restart wait; 5-minute recordings.
- Player
- 27 factory instruments; 8 channels; 6 pad packs; 15 presets; 4 states; 5 setlists with 10 songs each. Full keyboard/pad keys, built-in synth presets and unlimited recording duration.
- Stage
- 76 factory instruments; 16 channels; all 13 pad packs; no plan quota on saved presets, setlists or songs. The current States editor has a six-state implementation limit. Adds MIDI learn/quick-control mapping, FX order, velocity preset saving, preset export, MP3/M4A (AAC) and Stage effects.
- Pro
- 113 factory instruments; Stage plus synth sound editing, saving synth/FX presets, Sampler and SF2 imports. Adds Shimmer Verb and Ambient Verb.
Download Manager and readiness
- 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.
Check that each required bank and pad pack is ready. A library item can be listed before its file is available. Downloads need network access; ready local sounds can be played offline. Leave space for temporary download files as well as the completed library.
If a transfer fails, retry it here after checking connectivity and free storage. Reopen an instrument only after its required file is ready. Downloading a bank does not remove its plan requirement.
- Open Download Manager and locate the instruments or pad pack you will use.
- Start any required download, wait for completion, then return to the mixer.
- Select the instrument and play an available key to confirm the bank loads before rehearsal.
Plan status and purchases
- Tap Continue to enter the timed demo.
Tap Settings, then Plan in the category list, scrolling if needed. Use the back arrow to return to the list.
Use the app’s purchase and restore controls for the Google account that owns the unlock. Prices are presented by Google Play in the app; this manual does not assume a fixed price. If a feature is locked, check its minimum plan before retrying it.
A short feature trial is a preview, not a purchased unlock. The current trial lasts three minutes with a retry interval. Save a playable setup within your owned plan for a service.
Expected result
What you should have now
The required sounds are local and playable, and you know the limits of the selected plan.
Common problems
- Download never completes
- Check free space and the connection, then retry from Download Manager.
- A downloaded sound is locked
- Sound readiness and plan access are separate; check its plan allocation.
- Demo stops during rehearsal
- Free Demo is limited to 20 minutes per session. Use an owned plan for uninterrupted performance.
