Controlling external keyboard using MainStage

Hi guys, i need help... I'm start in the mainstage word. i used cubase for control my vst's and my pc3x kurzweil. a friend show me the mainstage and i loved. It's perfect for vst's control and the interface is very dynamic. but i have a big problem.... I use many of the sounds pc3x and now do not know how to control it from the mainstage. explaining better ...
I use pc3x and a other controller for performance. When i play in pc3x everything works. my vst's and the sounds of pc3x work... but... when i play in my controller, I dont make play sounds of pc3x. only my vst's work.
There is something to do? Any suggestions?
My setup is - macbook - midisport 4x4 - m-audio controller (midi connection)
- pc3x kurzweil (midi connection)
Any help will be very good.
Thank's for all and sorry for my bad english.

I think he means the other way around. He wants to send midi messages from MS and control/play MS and PC3x from his M-Audio controller.
MS doesn't send midi messages, but you can get an Audio Unit called MidiOut from here:
http://www.macmusic.org/software/view.php/lang/en/id/2221/midiO
put it here on your hard drive:
/Users/<user name>/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/
and it will show up as an AU instrument with your other plug-ins on any software instrument channel strip.
I suggest making a channel strip at Concert Level with the MidiO plug-in if you want it to work for every patch.
Hope that helps.

  • How can I control external devices using a touch screen with a standalone LabVIEW app

    For my senior design project my group and I created a hybrid extended range vehicle with 90 Li+ Batteries thats charged by a 15 kW generator and/or that is also being charged by a 5 kW fuel cell. Currently, our system is capable of measuring voltages off of the batteries and displaying them on a laptop via LabVIEW. To process this data, we are using a cRIO FPGA. What we would like to do now is have a touch screen for the driver to choose what power source charges the batteries as well as monitor a pressure reading coming from the fuel cell tank. 
    What sort of small touch screens allow for LabVIEW to be uploaded on and used for controls?
    Does a cRIO have the capability to power such a screen and handle the data transfer from the fuel sensor and switching relays (for switching on and off powersources)? 
    Do I need an additional license for creating standalone applications and how would i go about creating a standalone app?
    sorry for so many question. Any reply helps. Thanks!
    Solved!

    That sounds like a pretty interesting project.  If you are interested, National Instruments hosts a Student Design Competition where you can win cash or a trip to Austin for NIWeek.

    NI does sell Touch Panel computers that can be used to control LabVIEW applications.  You can find more information here: HMIs and Industrial Touch Panels and here: LabVIEW Real-Time and Touch Panel Deployment and Replication Resources. Our 6-inch touch panel computers run Windows CE, so programming on them is a little different than programming on a full Windows OS.  You may find the Getting Started with the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module useful.
    You can use third party devices with the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module, although you will need a deployment license for it.  More information can be found in the getting started guide.
    If you were able to send the cRIO information over a network (which from your description sounds unlikely), you may be able to use a smartphone to control your application.  More information can be found on our Community Smartphone Group.

    If you were using the 6-inch touch panels, they require 18 to 32 VDC (the fuse becomes an open circuit if input level exceeds 33 VDC).  The data transfer from the switching relays can be monitored and changed with the touch panel.

    If you went the touch panel route, you would need to purchase the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module, and a touch panel.  The NI touch panels come with a touch panel deployment license.  Step-by-step guides for creating the standalone app can be found in the Getting Started with the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module guide.

  • Controlling external information using cue points

    Hello,
    I am trying to change information on my site using cue points in my video.  My video is in a flash quiz and I am trying to change my objects such as an ad or photo with these cue points.  In otherwords, when a video begins, or when a cue point is reached the photo outside the video would change.  I am currently using cue points to go to the next frame after the video completes, but I don't know how to make it change things outside the video.  Thank you for your help.

    I'm sure there is more than one way to skin this cat, but here is what I use with NetStream video to load other .swfs (could be photos or other videos) at certain points in the main video:
    ns.onCuePoint = function(evt:Object){
        trace(evt.name);
        trace(evt.time);
        if(evt.name == "play_vid1") {
            trace("YO!Loading wide_holder!");
            wide_holder.loadMovie("rm/images/black_bear.swf");
        if(evt.name == "play_vid2") {
      trace("YO!Loading standard_holder!");
            standard_holder.loadMovie("rm/images/sqis.swf");
    in this case using an "event" cue point object embedding at certain times in the video.
    Lots of info on the Web, here is just one:

  • Reg:Whether to use BPM or not when the channels are controlled externally

    Dear All,
    My scenario is File to File and for this the channels are controlled  externally.
    This is achieved through the  Abap proxies to Http receiver scenario, where udf is being implemented for this.
    UDF:
    DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
    DynamicConfigurationKey trig = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP", "UrlParamOne");
    DynamicConfigurationKey trig1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP", "UrlParamTwo");
    DynamicConfigurationKey trig2 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP", "UrlParamThree");
    DynamicConfigurationKey trig3 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/HTTP", "UrlParamFour");
    conf.put(trig,action);
    conf.put(trig1,party);
    conf.put(trig2,service);
    conf.put(trig3,channel);
    return "";
    If the value of the Action is START then the existing communication channel should be stopped and restarted  again .
    If the value of the Action is STOP then the stop action should be performed.
    For this I have implemented two mappings  and condition is being given in Interface determination
    so as to have the splitting of messages when the start action is performed.
    Can anyone suggest me how to implement this by using a single mapping or this could be achieved only through BPM?
    Thanks in Advance,

    Hi ,
       My requirement is ,I need to merge two mappings into one mapping without using BPM.
    My File to File scenario communication channel is controlled externally by using Proxy-to-Http scenario.
    For this I have used two mappings say when the value for the action is START then the File receiver communication channel should be stopped(which is already polling) and again the Action START should passed to the Receiver File Channel to start again using the proxy-http scenario.
    Now I need to merge the two mappings into a single mapping so as to perform the above stated flow without using BPM.

  • MainStage does not control external midi devices

    in the Environment I can use the "External Instrument" object to be able to access external legacy devices such as synths and effects units. Since this capability already existed in the Environment, why wasn't it added to MainStage? I have seen this feature request on almost all "rack" type hosting systems such as NI Kore, and it seems to be a terrible oversight on the part of Apple. Can we supplement this by using MainStage objects in the Environment or somehow add this capability using Environment objects to bring this feature to MainStage?

    well I think it should be a little more than just able to send program changes. It should also be able to access the continuous controller mapping through the MainStage layout, it should pass through all midi notes, etc. to the device and it should be able to act as a conduit for the midi clock / tempo features of MainStage. But yes, it doesn't appear to be that difficult to create; you know ... if Apple had thought of it, they could have actually used the External Instrument object which they discuss at great length in Chapter 10 "Working With Instruments and Effects".
    Someone really didn't think this through ... this is fundamental.
    P.S. I came across this AU plugin that was designed for GarageBand for the same purpose. Its missing a few things like the ability to send an initial program change and I am not sure if it can pass through midi control from another external controller such as guitar, keyboard, etc. I sent an email to the developer with suggestions. Its called MidiO:

  • Clamshell Mode Question - Yosemite - Volume Controls on External Keyboard

    Forum,
    I was wondering if it was possible while in clamshell mode to, instead having to use the remote on the TV to adjust volume controls, but rather use the external board to control the TV's volume controls?
    Obviously when I change the output device to the Macbook Pro the speakers kick on, a lot lower than the TV of course, but the external keyboard picks back up the volume control scroller. Again when I switch it back to the TV the TV speakers kick back on.
    I am using a Macbook Pro (Late 2011) on Yosemite 10.10.1.
    Using a HDMI adapter to connect to the TV, and the keyboard is the Corsair Gaming keyboard.
    Thanks in advance!

    Here is what worked for me.  My scrolling on the mighty mouse and a few buttons on my wireless keyboard weren't working properly.  I reset the SMC, a link explaining the process is below.  Hope it helps you too!

  • Using MainStage with multiple MIDI inputs (two keyboards!)

    Hi Guys,
    I use two keyboards for my live gigs, and am thinking about moving all my sounds over to MainStage. Most of my recording uses Native Instruments and Logic's standard AU instruments, and then I have to find similar sounds on my Korg and Kurzweil for live...
    My question is... can you use MainStage with two MIDI controllers? I'd obviously want to set up the presets in MainStage so that there are different instruments being controlled by each synth.
    Would love any advice on whether this can be done, and a quick pointer as to how...
    Thanks heaps in advance,
    Mike

    Easily done (I'm using two USB controllers on a gig now). Just set them up in Layout mode, then be sure to select the input of choice for your specific channel strip(s) in each patch. Or of course you can set things up at the set or concert level as well.

  • I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

    I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
    The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
    Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

  • External display's brightness can no longer be controlled with external keyboard in 10.8.2

    I can no longer control external display's brightness with external keyboard.
    Until now my external keyboard controlled external display's brightness and MBPr's keyboard MBPr's brightness. Now the only way of changing external display's brightness is via Display preferences which is cumbersome
    Is there any way of going to pre 10.8.2 settings?

    I noticed that the keyboard and tablet were'nt working when plugged into a usb hub or monitor usb port.  I had to plug in the keyboard and tablet into a mbp usb port where they worked.  For some reason, after plugging them back into the usb hub they worked again.  Could just be dumb luck though.

  • HT201406 How can I use my external keyboard opposed to the internal key board on the screen.

    I have a Zagg IPad, and the problem I'm having is the external keyboard that sits in the case will not work.  The internal keyboard on the screen is the only one that works.  How can I change the keyboard to work from the base instead of using the keyboard on the screen.

    Have you ever paired them? If the keyboard and iPad have been paired, just turn the keyboard on, hit a key and give it a few seconds to power up and connect.
    If you've never paired them then there should have been instructions with the keyboard to tell you how to do that.
    If it just recently stopped working, you might try charging your keyboard.
