- Smoother knobs and a Rate PGSP button in About.
For working church musicians and worship keyboardists, the Sunday morning gear setup can easily become a logistical challenge. Transporting heavy synthesizers, rack modules, or tethering a bulky laptop setup to a MIDI controller is a familiar hassle.
Pocket Gospel Sound Pack (PGSP) is a dedicated iOS app for iPhone and iPad designed to put full, production-ready gospel keyboard rigs right into your pocket. Built by a church musician specifically for the dynamic flow of live worship services, PGSP bridges the gap between ultra-portable mobile gear and professional stage performance.
Unlike generic sound apps or bloated mobile synth platforms, PGSP focuses directly on the sounds, routing flexibility, and reliability required during a worship service.
At the heart of PGSP is a flexible 4-Element engine. Rather than restricting you to a single preset, the engine allows you to layer, split, or combine four independent sound elements across your keyboard:
- Per-Element Controls: Custom volume mixing, key range mapping (for splits and layers), dedicated MIDI channels, and individual FX processing per element.
- 128-Voice Intelligent Polyphony: Play lush 10-finger chords with sustained pads and layered strings without voice dropping or audio cutoff.
PGSP comes packed with sound signatures tailored to modern and traditional gospel contexts:
- Expressive Pianos & EPs: Acoustic grands, dynamic tine/reed electric pianos, and bright digital stacks.
- Worship Pads & Strings: Lush, moving textures designed to fill space during prayer, transitions, and altar calls.
- Virtual Analog Synth & Leads: Features custom synthetic leads, including a recreation of classic portamento sine leads and punchy synth brass.
In live worship, latency kills the feel. PGSP features an internal audio processing path running at approximately 2.7 ms ultra-low latency.
- Zero Service Distractions: No forced account sign-ins, no separate in-app registration, and no mandatory internet connection required while playing.
- Seamless Preset Switching: Sound transitions remain smooth and interruption-free while changing presets on the fly.
PGSP operates both as a standalone application and as an AUv3 Instrument inside iOS hosts like AUM, Logic Pro for iPad, or Cubasis.
Even better, PGSP includes its own built-in AUv3 Loader. You can load your favorite 3rd-party iOS AUv3 instruments directly into any of PGSP’s four element slots—allowing you to combine Wise Sound’s native gospel tones with external iOS synths in one unified live workspace.
