MainStage 3.6.6 lacking Logic Pro 11 essential sounds

I have MainStage 3.6.6 installed, and I am not able to access the Concert Grand patch that is available in Logic Pro 11. I thought the two programs "shared" sounds. I have tried reinstalling the "essential sounds" in Mainstage, but I am only getting the sounds that are available as the "Legacy Pianos" in Logic Pro. Is there any way to access these new sounds in MainStage?? As I look at the Concert Grand patch in Logic, it looks like it is a "Custom Patch" similar to the "Studio Horns" and "Studio Strings" sounds.


It would be nice to have these piano sounds available in MainStage!

  • Use the ChromaGlow plug-in to apply rich saturation to any track with an advanced plug-in modeled from some of the world’s most sought-after professional audio gear.
  • Use Plug-in Search to find and add any plug-in directly from the plug-in menu.
  • Click on any plug-in slot in the Mixer while holding the command key to quickly remove plug-ins.
  • Download the new Modular Melodies sound pack and discover hundreds of loops crafted from patchable hardware synths, and a collection of meticulously designed Alchemy synth patches.

Stability and reliability

  • Importing a Patch from a different Concert that contains an instance of the Playback plug-in configured to "Start on Patch/Set Change" no longer causes MainStage to quit unexpectedly.
  • Swiping left or right in the Layer editor with a Magic Mouse no longer causes MainStage to quit unexpectedly.
  • MainStage no longer quits unexpectedly when opening the context menu for a Smart Control with VoiceOver enabled.
  • Resolves an issue where MainStage might quit unexpectedly when quickly loading Alchemy presets in the plug-in header using the arrow keys.
  • Navigating the text field in a Patch List using the VocieOver cursor no longer causes MainStage to quit unexpectedly.


Accessibility

  • VoiceOver can now be used to navigate the Mixer.


Mixer

  • The channel strip name no longer resets after adding or removing plug-ins.
  • Control-clicking a panner that has been previously set to "Stereo Pan" without selecting anything from the menu no longer changes it to "Stereo Balance."

  • The Program Change section of Patch Attributes now shows values of 0-127 when MIDI Settings is configured to display program changes with a range of 0-127.
