Mainstage is changing patches randomly

I have not changed anything about my set up but lately Mainstage is acting wierd. While playing any patch it will suddenly randomly switch to another patch.
Sometimes I've just sat there not touching anything and watched it switch patches. Is this a bug or a ghost in the machine ?
Should I just re-install it ? HELP !

Hi
Yep... disconnect any external controllers to see if the problem goes away, then re-connect one at a time.
You could also use a "MIDI Monitor" application (or Logic if you have it) to record/monitor the MIDI output of your controllers to track down where the problem is.

I want to change patches on my Kurzweil PC1se with Mainstage.

I want to change patches on my Kurzweil PC1se with Mainstage. I'm using an Maudio Uno to run from MIDI in and out on my PC1se to my Macbook pro running Mavericks and Mainstage 3.
Example: Patch 1 is the Organ on my PC1se (Bank 1/Patch 0) and Patch 2 is the Piano on my PC1se (Bank 1/Patch 80)
When I select Patch 2 in Mainstage I want my PC1se to go to my piano sound.
I just can't figure out how to do this. Any suggestions?

I own some Kurzweils, but not the PC1. I downloaded and looked through the manual, and I think you may want to give MIDI Receive Mode a try.
Also--in Mainstage--are you using External Instrument channel strips for the Kurz?
Hope this helps.

How to change double random value to int value?

I need to change double random number to int in my program. Please help
Here's my program
import java.io.*;
class GuessingGame
public static void main( String[] args ) throws IOException
int guess;
BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader( System.in ) );
String input;
double somevalue;
int attempt = 0;
boolean win = false;
somevalue=Math.random()*10 ;
while ( attempt < 3 && !win )
boolean correct = true;
//First Guess
System.out.println("\nI am thinking of a number from 1 to 10.");
System.out.println("You must guess what it is in three tries.");
System.out.println("Enter a guess:");
input = stdin.readLine();
guess = Integer.parseInt( input );
if ( guess != somevalue )
correct = false ;
System. out.println("Wrong");
//Second Guess
System.out.println("Enter a guess: ");
input = stdin.readLine();
guess = Integer.parseInt( input );
if ( guess != somevalue )
correct = false ;
System. out.println("Wrong");
//Third Guess
System.out.println("Enter a guess: ");

System.out.println("You won the game!");
win = true;
else
System.out.println("The correct number was:"+ somevalue);
System.out.println("You lost");
attempt = attempt + 1;

Ceranith, thanks. It works now. You were very helpful. I searched and found your answer on a similar question using nextInt(int n). I tried to use that approach to my program (for learning purposes)as well, but it didn't work. Could you help to find out what's wrong?
Here it is:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class GuessingGame
public static void main( String[] args ) throws IOException
int guess;
BufferedReader stdin = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader( System.in ) );
String input;
int attempt = 0;
boolean win = false;
int n=10;
Random numb = new Random();
int somevalue = numb.nextInt(int n)+1;
while ( attempt < 3 && !win )
boolean correct = true;
//First Guess

Sound is hanging when changing patch.

Hello.
The problem is that if i am pressing the sustain pedal while im changing a patch, the last notes in the previous patch stays on. it doesent goes of untill i hit the space bar or panic button.
Help.
Could it be that i need to configurw some All notes off when changing patch? Not an idel solution but that would be better than to end upp with a hang in a live situation.

Im not expessing my self corectly.
The way i want it to work is as you describe it. The note from the selected patch sustaind untill the pedal is released. Thats the way my master keyboard (Roland A80) works.
But the problem is that it newer STOPS sustaining ( after patch change, and pedal release).
Im using a New MBP, New Motu midinterface and a Clavia Stage88 keyboard.
If MS comes with the sustain feature (and thats what i want), i will check my pedal (polarity?) delet the old pedal and make a new. mayby something whent wrong whan i created the pedal.
Does that sound like a good plan?

Yamaha FC-5 foot switch to change patches?

Trying to help a buddy (he's at a different theatre and I'm not in front of the equipment right now). He has a Yamaha MOX8 and has the FC-5 foot switch plugged into the Assignable Foot Switch jack. It works perfectly for changing patches when just using the keyboard. He'd like to use it to change patches when connected to MS 3, but MS isn't even recognizing it (nothing lights up in the program).
Is there something that needs to be changed in the keyboard so that the switch data is sent to MS? Any other ideas?
Thank you so much in advance!
PJ

Do you see the keyboard MOX in the window in the screen control inspector in layout mode? Then pedal won't respond until it's assigned to a hardware input. See below.

Why the lookandfeel change color randomly?

why the lookandfeel change color randomly?
after my API moves JDK1.4 to 1.5, the problem appeared.
the Max/Min/Close button of JFrame also change to other style.

yes, I have reset the Theme of MetalLookAndFeel.setCurrentTheme() to myself, but sometime it looks useless. It will use oceanTheme or myTheme randomly.
Then I add a loop to check the current theme till it use mytheme.
The new problem the min/max/close button changed randomly, though that is much less frequent.

How do you change patches in performance?

Well, here I am, asking 2 questions in one day...
Even though I'm a long-time Logic user, I'm very, very new to Mainstage. In fact, I'm using it for the first time next week on a gig. It's a theater-pit gig.
From your experience, what's the best way to trigger patch changes on Main Stage during a performance? For my gig next week, it's a pretty simple set-up, so I may just use the computer keyboard's up/down arrows. But I know that's not very practical on most gigs, especially when you have multiple patch changes per song. And if it goes well for this gig, I'm definitely going to use Mainstage on a summer theater pit gig that is a good-paying, 4-month run. But, it'll be a much more complicated set-up, and will undoubtedly require me to make hands-free patch changes in the middle of songs.
Thoughts?
Kevin

HI
Several options here:
You could MIDI Learn some controller buttons on your keyboard to choose next/previous patch.
You could map all the patches to MIDI Program Change messages sent from your kbd.
If you need true "hands-free", you could invest in a set of MIDI footpedals that send PG or CC messages.

Word document changed to random letters!

I have been working on an outline for many weeks now on Microsoft Word, continuing to 'save as' with new file names. I last modified a version last night. I had not shut off my computer since last night, nor exited out of the saved document; the document was minimized since the modification. Today, I was scrolling through the document and typed something when the entire document turned to hieroglyphic/random characters. I tried to "undo" my typing, but the hieroglyphics would not alter. I tried to change the font, copy-paste to a new document; no change. I clicked another document which I also had open which also turned to hieroglyphics.
My computer froze, and I "forced quit" for all things open. After the force quit, when I opened Word, 50-60 random documents I opened the past month all started opening. My file is nowhere to be found. The other document that also changed into hieroglyphics recovered, the one I need, did not. (I should add that the one that recovered was a document I opened from an email attachment). The only file with the file name I am looking for is an "autorecovered" file which does not open on my computer. I emailed this autorecovered document, and it does open on other computers, but only with the same document.
Under recent documents, it shows "0" for "Yesterday."
Please help! This is an outline for my law school exam which is an open-outline exam!

- Rebooted the server
To test if the new DST chanages for year 2007:
- I set up time to DST start time. I get the expected behavior (spring forward) as shown below:

Change color randomly of object

Hi,
I wrote a small application simulating a road traffic. I am using threads to do the animation.
this is the code:
public class TestProject extends Frame implements Runnable
   public static int frame;   // int variable for frame (animation)
    int delay = 100;    // delay for animation
    Thread animator, light;    // thread name
     * Create a thread and start it.
    public void start()
        animator = new Thread(this);    // create new thread
        animator.start();               // start thread
     * This method is called by the thread that was created in
     * the start method. It does the main animation.
    public void run()
        // Remember the starting time
        long tm = System.currentTimeMillis();   // get time (ms) and store it in tm
        while (Thread.currentThread() == animator)
            // Display the next frame of animation.
            if (frame==(200*roadArrangement.size()+50)) // if object reaches "end" reset
                frame =-50; // "reset" frame
            repaint(); // repaint object
            // Delay depending on how far we are behind.
            try
                tm += delay;    // delay
                Thread.sleep(Math.max(0, tm - System.currentTimeMillis()));
            catch (InterruptedException e) // catch exception for thread
                System.out.println("error in thread interrupt!");
                break;
            frame++;    // Advance the frame
    } // end of run
     * Set the animator variable to null so that the
     * thread will exit before displaying the next frame.
    public void stop()
        animator = null;
     * Paint a frame of animation.
    public void paint(Graphics g)
        for(int i = 0; i < roadArrangement.size(); i++)
            String tempType = roadArrangement.elementAt(i).toString();
            char roadType = tempType.charAt(0);
            g.setColor(Color.darkGray);
            if(roadType == 'r')
                g.setColor(Color.darkGray);
                g.fill3DRect(10+(i*210),100,210,60,true);
            else if(roadType == 'j')
                g.setColor(Color.darkGray);
                g.fill3DRect(10+(i*210),100,210,60,true);
                g.fill3DRect(85+(i*210),160,60,70,true);
                g.fill3DRect(85+(i*210),30,60,70,true);
                g.setColor(Color.green); // traffic light color
                g.fillOval(10+(i*210)+50,30+100,10,10); // traffic light
                Color clr = g.getColor();
                int red = clr.getRed();
                if((frame == (10+(i*210)+50))&&(red==255))
                    stop(); // stop thread to stop cars
                    System.out.println("STOP");
}In the code I have "oval" traffic lights where I set the colours.
Now, what I want to do is that traffic lights change independently and randomly their colour so that cars stop and drive.
How can I do this? Will I need a second thread? If yes, how to implement that?
thanks in advance.

Use [url http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Random.html]Random class and call nextInt every time in paint method than match a color to the int you get back.

How to stop expression pedal from changing patch volume

I'm trying to use an expression pedal with Omnisphere in Mainstage but the pedal is controlling the volume of the sound. How do I stop this so that I am only controlling the parameters I have selected in the modulation matrix in Omnisphere?
Thanks

the problem seems to be that when you set Controllers:Output to Expression(11) it controls the Expression disc/dial at the top of the channel which controls the volume IN to the channel and if you set the Controllers:Output to Volume(7) it controls the volume Fader. the first is pre-fader volume and the second 'post'-fader volume.
here's what i don't understand. if i change the Controllers:Input to anything other than Expression(11), then it reverts back to controlling the Expression disc/dial.
so why is Controllers:Output to Expression(11) always controlling the pre-fader input? why can't i change where that 'goes'? i only have 4 choices. the reason i don't directly map it is because i use my MINILAB to change MIDI Channels and so i when i'm on MCh1 it only plays and controls the EP on channel one. MCh2 plays and controls the lead on channel 2, etc through 4 channels. this way i can switch between the channels by selecting such on my MINILAB controller.
to add another issue, the expression pedal i'm using is from my Apogee GiO and it doesn't change channels..it goes to all Expression controls everywhere.
—Caleb
^ i discovered that i had the Expression Pedal 'knob' set to Automatic. this for some reason sends it to all my channels even though they are on different MIDI channels/inputs. when i set it to just one input it only controls the Expression disc/dial for the channels that are mapped to that input (Keyboard1).
still, i'd like for it to change channels when i change MIDI on my MINILAB, though that seems like an impossible desire. second, it still doesn't explain why Expression is functionally synonymous with pre-fader gain.

Changing patches on an external keyboard in the middle of a track

I just figured out how to switch banks and patches on my external keyboard, which is a Kawai MP8II, from within Logic Pro. I would like to know if it is possible to switch patches in the middle of a track. How do I send a system control message that would accomplish this?

I presume by 'system control' you mean a sysex (system exclusive) message which isn't really necessary at all.
If you want the patch to change, locate the position where you want it to change, press 'pause' and then hit the record button. If you make the change to the program number while its in record mode, then turn off record, even though the transport hasn't moved, the change has been recorded.
Hope that's what you mean!

HELP!: Canon Rebel XS Changing Settings Randomly and Not Taking Photos!!

PLEASE HELP! This is a very desperate attempt at reaching out for help before I THROW MY CAMERA AT THE WALL! Frustration level 1000 reached. The problem: I power up my Canon Rebel XS (purchased in 2009 and treated like my baby), point it at the subject matter, press the shutter button to take my beautiful photo, and all hell breaks loose! The camera decides to change all the settings, usually the shutter speed. When it's in full auto mode, the shutter speed changes between 3 or 4 different options (depending on the settings of the photo) and then it never releases, resulting in no photo. I've tried holding down the button and pressing quickly, neither work. So I've tried this in all settings: In Shutter Priority mode, the aperture changes randomly. In Aperture priority mode, (you guessed it!) shutter speed changes randomly. What changes in manual exposure mode? Exposure level... all on its own. OH -- I FORGOT TO MENTION, as they change, they BLINK! Whatever setting is randomly switching itself, it blinks. As if to taunt me and grab my attention -- "Hey, you! This is why I'm not taking the picture! HAHA!" So honestly, if anyone has any insight, I would be EXTREMELY grateful. But I'm pretty sure it's possessed by an evil spirit intent on seeing me rip all of my hair out. >.<

What if we control the shooting conditions? If you go outside on a sunny day, there would certainly be enough light for the camera to focus and take a shot. Have you tried this? I ask this because if I attempt to take a photo in a situation where there is simply not enough light, the camera will do precisely what you are describing... it has some limits to ISO, shutter speed, and aperture that it cannot exceed (it could in manual control, but will not in the auto or semi-auto modes.) I've noticed that my camera doesn't want to exceed certain shutter speed limits, ISO limits, and of course the lens constrains the aperture values available. Also, if the lens auto-focus is enabled and the camera is in "One Shot" focus mode (the default) it will not take an image until it can lock focus on at least one AF point. Give the camera enough light... and all of these problems go away. Shoot in Manual mode and all of these problems (except focus) also go away. If the camera is not moving (e.g. on a solid tripod) and the subject is not moving (e.g. a still scene) then you can take an exposure as long as necessary to get a shot -- but you may have to manually focus the lens if the lighting is poor and the subject lacks adequate contrast.

Brightness keeps changing at random - help?

So, I bought this laptop from Best Buy a few days ago - and suddenly I'm noticing that the brightness keeps changing depending on what page I'm on. My plan was to use this laptop for art purposes, but boy is it difficult to work on PS when it dims at random.
I've already tried turning off the 'adaptive brightness' feature in the power settings, but that didn't work.
Are there any fixes for this?
