Changing the Tempo When You Select a Patch
You can give a patch its own tempo setting so that when you select the patch, the tempo
changes to the patch tempo setting. MainStage uses the new tempo until you select
another patch or set with its own tempo setting, tap a new tempo, or until MainStage
receives tempo information from incoming MIDI messages. For more information about
using and changing tempo in MainStage, see Using Tempo in a MainStage Concert.
To change the tempo using a patch
1 In the Attributes tab of the Patch Inspector, set the patch tempo using the Change Tempo
To value slider.
2 Select the Change Tempo To checkbox to activate the patch tempo when the patch is
selected.
Select the checkbox
and set the tempo
using the slider.
Setting Patch Program Change Numbers
When you add a patch to a concert, the patch is given a MIDI program change number
(the lowest available number between 0 and 127) until all available program change
numbers are taken. You can select patches using program change numbers when
performing by assigning buttons on a MIDI device to send program change messages.
You can change the program change number in the Patch Inspector.
To change the program change number for a patch
1 In the Patch List, select the patch.
When you select a patch, the Patch Inspector appears below the workspace.
2 In the Attributes tab of the Patch Inspector, select the Program Change checkbox.
