Moving Patch Channel Strips to Set Level

I have a patch setup I would like to move to a Set level, complete with it's layout, channel strips, plug-ins, and instruments. Is this possible in MainStage 1? How? And, iƒ not, is it possible in MainStage 2?
Thanks.....

The simplest way is to do it by channel strip, for each channel strip, position your mouse over the Setting block, right click, choose "Copy Channel Strip Setting", go to your Set (insert a new channel strip if you have to) then right-click over the Setting block again and choose "Paste Channel Strip Setting".

  • Quick comparison of patches vs. channel strip vs set vs concert ..????

    howdy
    just trying to differentiate between patches - channel strips - sets and concerts -
    i will be using mainstage for keysounds triggered by my midi keyboard....drum sound triggered by midi drum i/o .....and hopefully guitar and vox as well -
    would each channel strip correspond to an instrument? (drums, keys, guit, vox)
    and then each channel has a patch (tone) ??
    then whats a set and concert exactly?
    im sure this is a noob question, but nonetheless would like an explanation based on anyones personal experience..
    my greatest concern is latency, so any info on the proper hierarchy and safe guards (muting patches when they are not processing audio???) to reduce delay would be greatly appreciated
    fro

    Concert = the file; it contains everything, sets, patches & channel strips.
    Set = a collection of patches & their channel strips. This is an organisational device that allows you to sort patches by various criteria. EG, in one concert, I have two sets with identical guitar channel strips but with a different synth for each set.
    Patch = a collection of channel strips. These can be any mixture of audio and synth, eg CS1 guitar, CS2 voice, CS3 synth 1, CS4 synth 2 etc
    In addition you may have as many busses as you need.
    Now to the confusing part. The hierarchy listed above is a good way to start with MainStage. It is simple and clear.
    If you have a channel strip that will not change during a set, it may be more efficient to insert it at the Set level rather than the Patch level. That way, you only have to set it up once. Why would you want to do this when it is so easy to set up a channel strip? just a couple of mouse clicks should suffice.
    Inserting a channel strip at Set level means that you only have to set up the MIDI controls for that patch once in the editor. This can save a lot of time if you have a synth with a complex control structure.
    I understand that only the active patch in MainStage uses processor power. (If I am wrong, you should get a correction fairly soon.) The only problem I find with large concerts is the length of time it can take for a large concert to load.

  • Channel strip plugin setting attaches to all audio tracks -- why

    Hi all, an interesting thing happened today. Put down bass/drum/rhythm guitar trax. Rhythm guitar used a NI Guitar Rig 3 plugin -- a Vox amp with spring reverb.
    So far, all is well.
    Then I create a new audio track, for the lead guitar. Much to my surprise, it took on the settings of the rhythm guitar track -- the NI GR3 Vox amp with spring reverb.
    I tried clearing the channel trip settings. I tried bypassing the plugin in the rhythm track. I created new audio tracks.
    All to no avail -- all audio tracks retained the settings of that first track, that is Vox with reverb.
    I finalyl created a new project and moved my tracks over. All is fine now, but does anyone know what might have caused that? And how to avoid in future?
    I really enjoy Logic, but I have to wrestle with fear every time I open it -- a "what the f's gonna go wrong this time?" sorta feeling. I've started pricing out Pro Tools systems to be honest...

    It sounds like you don't understand the concept of Logic - tracks and track objects.
    You can have for instance twenty tracks, all set to an Audio Channel 1 object. The tracks themselves are independent, but all audio plays through that Audio Channel 1. This is great for, for eaxmple, comping up a vocal part. Note that audio channels are themselves monophonic, so you can have only one audio region playing at any one time.
    This is different to independant arrange tracks that play through different audio channels..
    So when you hit your "next track" key command, make sure you are using "Create Track with next object", and not "Create Track". Create Track just creates a new arrange track assigned to the same track object. The other one creates a new arrange track and assigns the next track object, so everything's fully independent.
    This is a complexity in Logic that other DAWs don't have, but it's a great feature once you get your head around it. One reason I like Logic over other DAWs.
    So arrange tracks and audio channels are not inextricably linked, as they are in other DAWs.

  • A problem with channel strip outputs in Logic Pro 8

    I have a Power Mac G5 2.3GHz dual core processor with 2GB memory, running LogicPro 8 connected to a MOTU 2408 Mk3. I originally assigned the outputs on the individual channel strips on my Logic default work page to the individual outputs on the MOTU, (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.,) as this is the optimum configuration for the amount of channels required for the recording I do. Checking theses settings recently though, I find the menu only gives the option to set outputs to 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 & 7-8? What has happened and how can I change them back?
    Thanks  

    Sounds like your channel strips are stereo and not mono.
    Click on the little linked circle button (format button) in the bottom of the channel strip to set it's mode to MONO (single circle).
    If you have effect plugins inserted on the channel strip make sure they are mono and not stereo. (Click and hold on the effect on the insert slot and choose the mono instance of the plugin from the plugin menu).
    Hope that helps

  • Deleting Channel Strips

    So some of the channel strips I set up have outlasted their usefulness. Rather than live with them getting in my way every time I go to choose another, can they be deleted?

  • Changing channel strip settings

    When I create a new track, and at the top of the channel strip select "setting" to select a Mainstage Guitar Rig or Electric Effect, for example, everything works great. But when I go back to change the the same setting to another effect or rig, the program won't let me change it. What am I doing wrong?

    Just to re-ask this same question as its not received any responses....
    I'm fairly new to Logic, having been using it (and enjoying the learning curve) for about 4 months. Until today, I've been able to select a new channel strip setting by clicking on the 'Settings' button at the top and change this at will. However, I'm suddenly finding once I've selected a setting, I can no longer re-select another via this method - I just get no response when clicking on the button. However, I am still able to access various settings via the library.
    I'm assuming I've inadvertently changed something, but cannot work out what.
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

  • One instrument on "set" level, and one instrument on "patch" level?

    Hi there,
    I'm using MainStage 3 as my DAW on a MacBook. I want to have one instrument on the "set" level, and then have a patch underneath that contains another instrument to layer on top. (The intention is to have a whole lot of different patches within the set to have different instruments layer on top.) For some reason, the instrument on the "set" level works, but there is no sound coming from the instruments I created within the patch! The instrument within the patch doesn't even appear as a layer in the workspace either.
    Why is this? What am I doing wrong? Do all instruments need to be within the same level to work?
    Alex

    You seem to have ignored the alert that shows up when you add an instrument at the set level:
    Creating a channel strip at the set level.
    The channel strip you are creating will be active in all the patches in the set. Controls mapped to this channel strip will supercede mappings in your patches. You can override these mappings in an individual patch by creating a mapping for the patch and selecting the "Override Parent" checkbox for the control.
    The "Override parent range" can be found at the layer editor in the patch.

  • How can I set up a Mainstage channel strip to recognize coarse detune?

    Can anyone clue me in on how to get Mainstage 2 to recognize coarse detune?  Right now I have it set up so that a mainstage channel strip recognizes standard pitch bend messages and  I can set the pitch bend range of the associated instrument to 12 (the default for the channel strips appears to be 2), and so standard pitch bend works fine.   But when the pitch bend messages I'm sending are coarse detune, I'm getting zip...nada...nuttin -- even when I have set the pitch bend range for the instrument on the channel strip set to 12.  
    I don't want to just offset the pitch by a set amount; I want to use coarse detune to bend the pitch by semitones during a performance.  If anyone here has any suggestions or knows how to make this happen, I'd really appreciate your help --
    thanks in advance,
    Lipp

    Hi
    The default bend range is set within the Instrument plugin setting associated with a channel strip.

    This could depend on the Instrument plugin (which on eare you referring to?).
    Try making a knob or fader object in Layout mode and MIDI learn it to incoming PitchBend messages, then map that control to the dtune function.

  • Saved user patch not saving aux send channel strip settings?

    Hi all,
    I was reading the 'Using and saving patches" article in the manual and came across this quote:
    "patches also save any aux channel sends that are needed to reproduce the complete patch,"
    I was extremely excited and tried to create my own patch. My User Patch saves, and the aux send amounts are in the main channel strip, but the actual bus channel strips are not created.
    I noticed that other logic patches actually create the bus strips with their predefined settings when you load them, but I can't seem to get my user patches to do this. Am I missing a step when I save my patch?
    Thanks in advance!
    Robert
    P.S. - if it's useful, I am using Logic 10.0.7 on OSX 10.8.5 on a mid-2012 15" MBP Retina

    Just thought I might bump this topic since I have the same problem.  Any suggestions on a solution would be greatly appreciated!

  • Patch set level for financial family

    Hai All
    I have some confusion regrding family & module. These are quries
    1) what is the difference between a family and a module.
    2) what are the different families and modules present & how to find out them in oracle applications.
    3) How can we find patchset level for a particular family in OA
    4) How can we find out different products in present in each family.

    1) what is the difference between a family and a module.Module is a specific Oracle Applications product (i.e. GL, AR, AP, FA, CE, ..etc).
    Minipack: An aggregation of patches at the product level. For example, Inventory Minipack G (11i.INV.G) contains all the latest patches for the Inventory product at the time the minipack was created. Minipacks are named in alphabetical sequence such as 11i.INV.E, 11i.INV.F, 11i.INV.G, and so on. Minipacks are cumulative. In other words, 11i.INV.G contains everything in 11i.INV.F, which contains everything in 11i.INV.E, and so on. The terms patchset and minipack are often used interchangeably.
    Family Pack: An aggregation of patches at the product family level. For example, Financials Family Pack C (11i.FIN_PF.C) contains all the latest patches for products in the Financials family at the time the family pack was created. Family product codes always end in "_PF" and family packs are given alphabetical sequence such as 11i.HR_PF.B, 11i.HR_PF.C, and 11i.HR_PF.D. Family packs are cumulative. In other words, Discrete Manufacturing Family Pack G (11i.DMF_PF.G) contains everything in 11i.DMF_PF.F, which contains everything in 11i.DMF_PF.E, and so on.
    2) what are the different families and modules present & how to find out them in oracle applications- Use Patchset comparison tool - patchsets.sh
    Note: 139684.1 - Oracle Applications Current Patchset Comparison Utility - patchsets.sh
    https://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=139684.1
    - From OAM
    - Use Applications Diagnostic Tests
    - Use $AD_TOP/sql/adutconf.sql
    3) How can we find patchset level for a particular family in OAThe above should be helpful to find out patchset level for a particular family pack. You may also check the following thread:

  • LPX: Environment-mixer layer bug when moving channel strips

    Please test if you experience the same bug on your system: Open a LP9 song in LPX - go to Environment / Mixer layer - move a few channel strips a little. I tested on two computers and the channel strips jump to random locations. It doesn't happen with all of them right away, so you might have to move a few of them initially. But eventually (after a minute max) most if not all exhibit this behavior.
    I also had this happen in new LPX songs.
    Please let me know if you are able to reproduce this.

    Right Jeanne, should have realized.
    A good workaround for this, if you want to see the mask as you move or transform, is to just hit the backslash key to see the rubylith of the alpha channel. That displays correctly.

  • Duplicate Output channel strips

    I see a thread about duplicate aux channels appearing. I'm not seeing that on my end, but what I am getting is multiple (and it's more than two now) Output channel strips. Thankfully, they only appear at the concert level, and don't appear more than once in each patch or set. But the behavior is really bizzare, and a little worrisome because i've found that if I try to delete one of them, if I can successfully do it, then the file will become corrupted and will never reopen! When I'm at the concert level, if I adjust any of the controls on one of them, it's adjusted for all of them... very strange indeed.
    I've created multiple Concert files, and I see this behavior exhibited in all of them. The more patches I add, the more the number seems to grow. I believe that every time I copy/paste a patch, it adds one, but I'm not sure exactly what the exact criteria are to make this happen. Is anyone else seeing this?
    Also, I have two unrelated questions:
    1) There isn't, by any chance, a way of creating alias or shortcut patches, is there? Some way of creating duplicates so I can create multiple sets with some of the same patches (I'd like to create some "Show Setlist" sets, and a main "All Tracks" set, but have some of the same patches in each, that would get modified when I modify any instance).
    2) I'm coming from Jambalaya, a similar, and simpler live host that I would continue to be using today if the developer continued supporting it. One thing that was really nice about that was it had a virtual rack where you could store common instruments and effects. It would be accessible to all "songs" (patches), and would save a major amount of load time. Since every one of my patches contains from 2 - 8 instrument channels, it was really helpful. I don't suppose there is any way to reproduce this functionality in MS? I also use this feature in Digital Performer, but I don't use that as a live host. So far, I've noticed that if you add a channel strip at the concert level, it plays back on all patches without any routing or way of arming it or not, so that won't work for me. I guess this is more a feature request than a question, but I'm new enough to MS that maybe someone has found a way.

    I haven't experienced any of the channel strip issues, at the concert level or at patch level. It's easy to copy patches or make aliases. To copy a patch, select a patch, go to edit>copy or command>C. To paste, edit>paste or paste as alias(command>V or option-command>V).

  • Lost channel strips

    I'm using Logic Studio 8, mostly working with software instruments.  I just opened one of my project files, and it appears that many of my channel strips and software instrument settings have been lost.  A few of the channel strips, and a few of the software instrument settings are still correct, but most of them have switched to apparently random settings.  Any ideas about this?  Please help!

    I'm using v. 2.2.2, but when I select the volume pedal at the concert level to call up the Screen Control Inspector, everything on the Attributes tab is grayed out, disabled.  I'm going to guess that is because the pedal is unmapped at that level.  When I go to the set level of an oft-used set and choose the pedal, the Attributes tabs items are not disabled, supposedly because I have the controller set for Block (because I use sliders to control volume here, not the pedal, and didn't want it messing things up).
    In summary, it appears that in order to do what you have suggested and what lifenoise suggested -- "You can set the preferences at the concert level and override the parent mapping on a patch by patch basis" -- I have to, at the concert level, do something with a particular controller other than leave it unmapped.  Even if I have it set for Block at the concert level, a bit of playing with this just now shows that I can override the blocking at the set level.
    Thanks fellows.  I suppose that wraps up this thread unless you have some additional feedback.

  • Expression / Volume pedal on channel strips

    I need to fade a channel strip in and out using an expression pedal, without affecting the other channel strips on that patch. I'm familiar with assigning the volume pedal at the concert level to control master volume, but this is a function I don't know how to do.
    I've tried filtering the expression on the channel strip, but of course that doesn't work, because the pedal is controlling the master volume. Help?

    You can assign the volume/expression pedal at the concert, set, or patch level .... depending if you want it doing the same thing at concert level, or to change its function for different patches.
    1) learn the pedal in the layout window, so your layout control is visually changing and responding as you move the pedal.
    2) in Edit mode, select the patch you want to fix up (concert level, set, or patch .... whichever you want).
    3) select the channel strip you want to control.
    4) select the volume control you assigned in step 1 on the screen. make sure you can view the inspector(s).
    5) in Screen Control Inspector, go to Unmapped, and drill down to the attribute you want to control. If you already have the control mapped, you will need to unmap it first.
