Add patches in MainStage
You can add patches to the concert and organize them in the PatchList. The number of
patches is limited only by the amount of available memory in your system. When you add
a patch to a concert, the patch is selected so you can easily audition and select a patch
setting from the PatchLibrary.
When you add a patch, by default it takes the name of the channel strip added with it.
You can give each patch a custom name to make it easier to identify and distinguish
between them.
Add a new patch
1. Click the Add Patch button (+), located in the upper-right corner of the MainStage
PatchList.
The Patch Library opens in the Patch Inspector as shown, and the new patch appears in
the PatchList.
2. Select the patch setting you want to use from the PatchLibrary.
If you are using a keyboard controller, select a Keyboard patch. If you are playing an
electric guitar, select a GuitarRig patch. For other instruments or vocals, you can
choose a template from the appropriate category or modify a keyboard or guitar
template to suit your needs.
3. If the patch uses an audio channel strip, make sure the channel strip is set to use the
correct audio input, then gradually raise the volume fader on the channel strip until you
hear sound on the channel.
