Then I would probably use a MainStage "set" for each song, and within each of those, the various patches of the song.if there are more then one. I can load the concert in between sets in the gig.


Me personally I would probably use one concert per actual gigging set. A concert is the entire MainStage project file. You can group patches into sets (which are kind of like a folder), for any reason you like.and sets into a concert. On the PC you have Cantabile mainly.Īs Ploki already said, I am not sure what you mean by performance. There used to be no real competitor to MainStage on the mac, but now there is at least one competitor product, much more expensive, Gig Performer. A lot of the resources on the web are worship players trying to sell MainStage presets and concert layouts, etc. Mainstage seems to have mostly gained the attention of worship players for some reason. If you're into live midi creative artistry on the stage, then MainStage is probably not the right tool. For backing tracks I highly recommend just playing MP3's anyway.in MainStage, logic or an iPod, doesn't matter. But I am not really interested in live midi sequencing, if I were I'm not sure what I'd do.might still use Mainstage, but some kind of third party midi sequencer plugin inside it. That is how I like to work, and Mainstage does all that and 100x more.mainstage is a dream gigging setup for me.
MAINSTAGE 3 INSTRUMENTS PATCH
Back in the day I used to have a rack full of 80's synths and routed it all through a program change multiplexer that would receive one program change and echo it out to all my keyboards, and also enforce various zones and layer setups, on a patch by patch basis that I could easily call up for each song or in the middle of a song. I am not gigging since a few years, but if I were, I'd be using Mainstage.
