Chapter 4 Getting Started With MainStage 25
Selecting and Playing Patches
The patches in the concert appear in the Patch List along the left side of the MainStage
window. You can quickly try out patches to find the ones you want to use.
If you are using a MIDI controller, you can play patches that have a software instrument
channel strip using your controller. If you are playing an electric guitar or another
instrument or are using a microphone connected to an audio interface, you can play or
sing using patches that have an audio channel strip. Before playing through an audio
channel strip, first make sure that the channel strip is set to receive input on the
channel (or stereo pair of channels) to which your instrument or microphone is
connected.
To select a patch:
1 In the Patch List, located to the left of the workspace, click the patch.
2 With the patch selected, you can start playing instantly.
You can also select patches in the Patch List using your computer keyboard.
To select a patch using your computer keyboard:
m Press the Down Arrow key to select the next (lower) patch in the Patch List.
m Press the Up Arrow key to select the previous (higher) patch in the Patch List.
With the patch selected, try moving some controls on your MIDI controller and check
to see if the screen controls in the workspace respond. Some screen controls, including
the keyboard, modulation and pitch bend wheels, and sustain pedal screen controls,
respond to appropriate MIDI messages without needing to be assigned or mapped.
You can continue selecting and playing patches in the concert to find sounds you want
to perform with or to use as a starting point for creating your own custom patches. You
can also add new patches and edit their channel strip settings to create your own
unique sounds.
Click a patch in the Patch
List to select it, and start
playing.
