Is it possible on MasterMode to change from a patch to another on MainStage? Or the other way around - Change patch on MainStage who changed to the next master on my XF7? A little bit about the background for this:
I´m working on a show where I´m using two keyboards:
Computer:
I´m using both sounds that I´ve made on my Yamaha-keyboards and software synths where I´m using MainStage to “master”. I´m also using both the sequencer on my XF7 and Logic Pro X to play backing tracks with click track. The click tracks are routed to my assignable outputs on my XF7. In my live performance I want to have my only focus on my playing and not any energy on my Macbook.I want changing sounds in a live performance to go as smooth as possible without any hiccups. If I change from a master to another on my XF7, I want my patches on MainStage to change - I know how to change patches from my XF7 to my MOXF8, with help from the brilliant “Understanding Master Mode"-article. Really looking forward to your answers guys - either to get Master Mode to change patches on my other computer and MainStage or to get MainStage to change voice/performance on my two keyboards. kayrd - Norway |

A SysEx message sent to the XF7 will change the Master number.
To select the Master number on the first device, send:

If I understand your post, you want to send out messages to Mainstage to change patches when you select a new master. Read this article from Apple about doing this with program changes, hope that helps. |

Thanx for the reply! I’ve finally figured this out. As I said - I want to use as little energy as possible changing patches when I’m playing live. I want to only focus on playing the keyboards. Thanks to “Understanding Master Mode” and some MIDI-reading online, and understanding what sysex-commands can do, I figured all out. I made midi-files from Logic Pro X on my Macbook sending sysex-commands to my MOXF8, so now it works flawlessly. How it works for me: I use two keyboards (XF7 on top of an MOXF8) and a Macbook Pro.
1 - I’m using Master Mode on both keyboards
It’s exactly what I want - not using to much energy on the Macbook on stage - now I’m changing patches only from the XF7, and it automatically changes patches in Mainstage and the MOXF8. Perfect! Master Mode is surely a MASTER mode… Hopefully this post will help others as well - let me know if some of you need additional help figuring this out. |
