EXS losing saved patches in Mainstage

This is weird. First off, I love Mainstage. It's working VERY well at church as our live keyboard rig. However, I'm having an odd issue. We mostly use EXS24's and every so often when we load up the concert and pick a patch from the list, the sound is the default sine wave instead of what we saved it as in the EXS. So we have to load up the sound in the EXS and save it all over again in the concert. Any ideas? Anyone experiencing this? It's like the EXS24 is losing it's memory. Weird.

I can confirm that this happens to me too... usually it happens after I do something such as pasting a patch into the current set or concert.
Seems to be a memory problem...
it's reproducable here. just open two new concerts from existing templates, then copy/paste, or drag drop a bunch of patches at one.
No error message, but going back to one of the existing patches plays back the sinewave...
if it's an existing patch, going back to the inspector and reselecting the patch brings it "back".
this is a killer problem for patch management, mix and matching between sets/concerts for me...
at least we're not alone in having this problem...

Saved patch won't submit bus sends and aux tracks

Hi!
I'm saving my channels as patches for later import in MainStage, but the aux tracks won't come along. Apple states:
In addition to the features of the channel strip setting you may be familiar with from earlier versions of Logic, patches also save any aux channel sends that are needed to reproduce the complete patch [...] (Logic Pro X: Using and saving patches - Apple Support)
However, when I create an empty project in MS, or Logic Pro X for that matter, the bus sends and accompanying aux tracks are not included. Am I doing something wrong?
Kindly,
Joachim

Hi
Make sure that you have not disabled the Sends via Patch Merging in the Library when loading the Patch

How can you delete an app without losing saved data/progress?

How can you delete an app without losing saved data/progress? Is there a way through iCloud? I have an 8gb 4th gen iPod touch. I have a lot of music, so with 8gb, space is limited. Some apps I have take up 20-30 MB. Some of these games I don't play that much, but I don't delete them because I have made a lot of progress (levels, scores, acheivements). It would be nice to delete some of these 30 MB apps that take up precious space, and them redownload them in the future when I have more space, but without having to start the whole game over.
Also, I read somewhere that there might be a way to do this with iCloud, but I don't really know how.
Thanks!

This is the only way I know of. It is messy though.

Checking Daylight Saving patch installation

What's the best way of checking whether my clients (mixture of 10.3.9 and 10.4.x) have the Daylight Saving patch installed? Do I have to manually look for a package receipt? Can I check the system time on each client (some users have manually set their clocks an hour ahead, which doesn't help...) Is there a better way?
Thanks!
Matt
PS. ARD 3.1, by the way.

Just do a Spotlight search for the DST package receipt:
DSTUpdateTi-001.pkg
If it's present, then the update was installed

Is there a way to import Mainstage 2 patches into Mainstage 3?

Currently trying to upgrade from Mainstage 2 to Mainstage 3 on my new MBA. Haven't downloaded Omnisphere yet and have a gig coming up. Was wondering if it was possible to take built-in patches from Mainstage 2 and move them to Mainstage 3. (Most specifically Tranquil Horizon, an ambient pad)
Thanks for the help.

How to import updated version of APEX app without losing saved IR's?

Oracle XE 11.2
Apex 4.1
Linux Red Hat 5.4
============
Does anyone have suggestions on how to import updated version of APEX app without losing saved IR's?
Also, I want to maintain app id from update to update (from revision to revision). In fact, I think that that is required in order to keep the saved IR's.
The only process I have found that seems to "work" (i.e. loads new revision of app over old revision of app) is the following (via SQL*Plus):
declare
l_workspace_id number;
begin
select workspace_id into l_workspace_id
from apex_workspaces
where workspace = 'MYWORKSPACE';
apex_application_install.set_application_id(400);
apex_application_install.set_workspace_id(l_workspace_id);
apex_application_install.generate_offset;
apex_application_install.set_schema('MYSCHEMA' );
apex_application_install.set_application_alias( 'MYSCHEMA_ALIAS' );
end;
@new_version_of_app.sql;
but I do not have any saved reports in this app. Will this process keep the saved IR's from the previous version of the app 'intact'?
Thanks.

Hi,
I cope with the same issue.
But I've several prod instances and many applications on each of these... and SIR saved by many users.
Of course each prod application have its own ID, distinct from the dev application ID.
Is there really not any kind of solution in my case (apart from release the dev app on the dev workspace ; export 50 apps from it and import those 50 times, maybe more in the futur) ?
I'd be a pity if not, I think there must be a lot of us working in that configuration.
Thanks !

Daylight saving patches to java certified by oracle

Which version of JVM needs to be installed in Oracle, by which we can make Java API calls from database using dbms_java to support daylight saving in US ?
US Daylight saving time changes are being patched by SUN in all versions of Java. But has Oracle certified all of these versions ?
If there is a JRE 1.3 installed on Oracle 9i, can the daylight saving patches be applied to this version ? Is there any info from Oracle regarding this ?

Hi,
See if this link help you:

How do I set up different hardware controls for different patches in mainstage?

I'm using Mainstage 3.0.4 and a Novation Impulse.
I created a concert, with the drawbar organ as my first and most important patch. I assigned the hardware controls on the Novation exactly how I wanted them, with the sliders controlling the drawbars, and the rotary controls changing the distortion, reverb, etc. It was perfect. I was happy.
Then I added a new instrument (a new patch, not a new channel or anything like that), a Wurlitzer. Once again I assigned my hardware controllers as I wanted them, and was happy with that.
When I saved the concert, and went back to my organ patch, my settings didn't stay the same, but they still work for the Wurli.
My question is this - do I have to have a new concert for each instrument patch I want to use, if I need to assign different controllers for each patch? This would be stupid! If not, what I am doing wrong, that I can only set up one set of hardware controls per concert, instead of per patch?
Thank you in advance for the help!!!

CCTM, thank you! I have a small idea what you mean, but I still can't implement it :-)
You have some fundamental choices:
A) If you want to see Drawbar Controls for organ Patches, and then have other types ( knobs/sliders etc) for other Patches, you could simply make all the screen controls you need, then assign and map them as required.
B) you could simply use drawbar screen controls only and remap them to other parameters for non-organ patches
C) You could use Smart Controls ( which will update their appearance in a 'smart' way
D) You could make your own Drawbar type controls using standard faders
The basic process in a 2 part thing:
Assign incoming MIDI messages from your controller to Screen Controls in Layout mode. This is global for concert. Per patch ( or Set or globally for the Concert) you then map the Screen Controls to parameters for each patch as needed.
Smart Control MIDI assignment is done in the Assignments and Mappings pane

Having problems saving patches in ultra beat ..plus samples not been moved

My problem with ultra beat..i might save a patch in ultra beat..re-open a next track arrangement..to find the sample are missing and need reloading...so my new problem is...i can make temples from old track with the ultra beat sounds patches working..But remains missing on new project if not a template start... so i cant really build a drum bank of sound in ultra beat...really wired Bug....But a real pain...Ex24 ok ...But thats played out for Drums now....Plus i found saving a project with ultra beat sample included.would keep working on that project.but then missing on others..which gave me no option but to make templete from the working tracks...have anyone els experiance or have knowledge on this problem....

I opened PSE Preferences for Saving Files, and checked off append files with extensions "always" and "OK", but when I go back to the same Preference Panel, it has reverted to Never, which is the default position. I am wondering if this is the source of my problems.
Yes. It is a known bug. Your options are to trash the prefs again and never, never, never open the Saving Files preferences pane again (just going there causes this), or to add the file extension in manually when saving. (The default position is Always, but merely opening the saving files preference sets it to Never.)

EXS samples truncated when using Mainstage

I have had this problem intermittently since my initial use of Mainstage. It sounds like there is a gate on the samples or perhaps they stop at their respective loop points, like loop has been turned off. No natural decay or sustain they just stop playing and when you let off the key you hear a sound like they had an inverted envelope on them, strange1
This happens with any exs instrument, but does not happen when I use EVP/EVD6/EVB3. This problem occurs both on my Mac Pro and my Macbook Pro. I have tried disconnecting my controller re-instantiating the exs plugins, the only thing I have found that works is rebooting Mainstage and that is rather embarrassing in the middle of a show.

I failed to mention that this problem occurs just using the headphone out or my Apogee Ensemble.I found the previous posts on this issue from April of this year and from the looks of it there was no resolution.
Seems as if they reverted back to Mainstage 1, which I have never even used and undoubtedly will not load a Mainstage 2 file......

Using GM and/or QT Synth patches in Mainstage?

Hi.
I'm programming keyboards for the pit, and need a music box sound. The one in the GM specs would be fine, but I can't seem to access it from Mainstage.
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.
-Doxster

Well, I found a very clumsy way to do it and someone may know an easier way but try this.
In edit mode, create your Software Instrument channel strip and associate it with the DLSMusicDevice instrument (It's under AU Instruments - Apple).
In layout mode (if you haven't already done this), create a knob or slider and associate it with a knob on your keyboard.
In edit mode, switch to the patch containing the DLSMusicDevice channel (if you're not already there), click on the knob (or slider). In the Screen Control Inspector, select the channel strip name in the first column, select MIDI Controller in the second column, and then select Program Change in the third column.
Now, as you turn the knob, the appropriate program change number will be sent to the DLSMusicDevice. I think the musicbox is at 10 or 11.
Having said all that, if you have Logic Studio/MainStage, then you have the Garage Band sounds. You'd be far better served by just using the Musicbox sound from Garage Band, which you'll find under Mallets. You'll find you have a lot more control over the actual sound, (i.e, you can change the decay to suit)

Auto show/hide Plug-in when switching between patches in Mainstage 2

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to have Mainstage 2 automatically reveal a plug-in when switching between patches. For instance, when switching to a Clav patch, have it reveal the EVD6 plug-in. Then, if you switch to a Rhodes patch, it automatically closes the EVD6 and reveals the EVP88.

As far as I know, no. I haven't found a way to do this. It would be useful in certain setups.

Kareoke Style Patch in Mainstage

Hello all,
Wondering if you brainy people could help me brainstorm.
I'm wondering if there's a way to get lyrics to scroll along with the playback of an audio file when using mainstage. I'm trying to get a little kareoke game going and was hoping there would be someway to trigger text to change dynamically with an audio file being triggered by an EXS24.
Here's the catch, I can't change patches while the song plays back because I want to control fx's on a single patches tracks.
Any Ideas??????......

Here's one idea;
I used iMovie to create a Quicktime movie with a black background and scrolling white words. I made a movie clip that's roughly the same length as the song, so it kinda naturally follows as the song progresses. You may have to tweak it a bit.
I'm using it for several long (Don McLean) songs and other wordy ones. Works great. It's my teleprompter...of sorts.
You could make the movie and then assign a button in Mainstage to an Applescript that is designated to "play the next QT movie in folder X" or something like that. With two video screens, you could keep the QT movie in one, and MS in the other.
It might work. Stranger things have happened.
Good luck,
Brian
