Christmas vol. 1 twenty patches for mainstage 3 software#
If you've encountered/heard of Brainspawn's Forte or Cantabile virtual instrument-host software before, you can create "live sets" with your different virtual instruments which captures the volume and other parameter settings such as reverb, delay, compression etc. Unfortunately, I only use Windows-based software (virtual instruments, DAW) setup so I can't be of help when it comes to using Mainstage or Mac-based software instrument setup. The Nektar LX88+ is capable of having 3 zones (which can probably be assigned to 3 separate MIDI Channels) - you only need to specify the zone limits for the entire 88-keys thus Zone 1 (example: A0 to C1, assigned to strings), Zone 2 (C#1 to B3, assigned to brass), Zone 3 (C4 to C.). I suppose to be on the safe side I should have a back-up plan of some kind since we'll only get to play this once! I didn't experiment much with Mainstage yet, but there is latency that I'll have to work on a bit with the settings - thanks for reminding me about that! I have an SSD external drive that I could use, but I'd rather not if I don't have to. Luckily, I'm not "gigging" with this, since it will be at church plugging into the same equipment, so hopefully that reduces some of the random technical difficulties.

I'm using a Mac, so the update thing is a non-issue. You need to of course make sure that the computer used has the fire-power that allows it to handle the live use of your DAW and libraries without causing cracks and pops, that the MIDI buffer settings are low enough to avoid latency but again not cause cracks and pops, that the computer and software is set up to automatically start up in the right program and with the right settings, without you're having to fiddle with it (other than turning it on), that your computer has automatic software updating turned off. I've done this and know that it can be done, but it is fraught with potential complications and difficulties.
Because of this, I don't want to use the piano action on the MP11 or FP-7 (not to mention the weight issue). (Note: we have someone else playing piano sounds, so my role is strictly strings, pads, organ, synth, etc. Has anyone ever use a MIDI controller and software for live playing? Do you like it, and what issues have you run into?
I've been looking at the Nektar Impact LX-88+ and really like the options of 8 faders, 8 pads, and 9 buttons. So back to square one, I'm thinking a MIDI controller to use alongside the MOX (without the MOX as a part of Mainstage), or possibly just the controller and Mainstage alone. But getting the MOX to be a slave I know was tricky, and then on top of that Mainstage doesn't use VST, they only use AU, and the MOX software doesn't have AU as an option. So I picked up Mainstage 3 to hopefully be able to switch easily between the MOX sounds and software sounds.

However, the Christmas music we've selected really calls for a lot more patch changes than the 1 or 2 I use per song on Sundays. We love the sound, and it works well for what we've been doing.
I've been using my Yamaha MOX6 with my church band for a few years now.
