Two keyboards into Mainstage

Hey Guys!!!
I've a little problem with Mainstage 2 (Version 2.2.2.).
I've two keyboards (Korg and Roland) + MidiMerge Box 2x2 and I want use the Mainstage internal sound with two device (Korg Roland).
This is my cable set:
MIDI out KORG-->MIDI In MERGE
MIDI out ROLAND-->MIDI In MERGE
MIDI out MERGE-->"MIDI In" MAC
Is there a parameter in the "Layout" where i can set Multi-timbral Midi Channel?
Sorry for my poor english!!!!

There's a better way to do it. Instead of using a MIDI merge, connect both keyboards directly to the Mac. Then each keyboard will have its own set of 16 MIDI channels.

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.

Recording Audio from Keyboard into Logic

Hey,
I am new at Logic and trying to figure out how to get the songs from my keyboard onto Logic. Could someone please help me out?
Logic 8
Fast Track Audio Interface
Korg Triton
Mixer
Thanks!

That helped. Now the audio from my keyboard and computer run through the mixer.
Still no signal in logic when I press a key on the keyboard though. Is there a special setting in logic I should be in?
Go to *Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio>Core Audio>Devices>* select Fast Track as the input device
Also, I only really got strong signal from the keyboard into the Fast Track interface when I previously plugged a 1/4 mono from the L/R Output of the Triton into the Guitar 1/4 mono slot of the audio interface.
I can't understand why they should build an Audio Interface that has only 1 mono Input ,I think this can accept stereo signals depending on the jack you plug-in...but that's just me Check the manual.
Does the Audio Interface has a control panel or something...like most of them?(You could find it in Applications)
What selections can you make there?
Do you think the problem is where the RCAs are located? The line outputs of the Fast Track are connected to "7L 8R" on the mixer and the ones connected to 1/4 mono cable are in "Rec Out"
Here you mean 1/4 mono (Instrument) to the *Rec Out* of the Mixer ...yes that's fine.
Note: When I press a key on my keyboard I get signal in the mixer. It's just not in Logic or the audio interface.
Can you hear what the Triton's playing on the speakers?
If not turn up the volume on the channel you have the Triton connected and the Stereo Out ...make sure that the Gain level is not too high on the Triton channel (a red light below the Gain pot will illuminate when it is )
Have you turned the Gain knob labeled instrument on top of your audio interface...clockwise?
Check Logic's Audio Preferences to make sure that you have the Fast Track selected as the *Input Device*
And supposedly that is a mono input ,you make sure that the Audio track you have created in Logic is a mono track(1 circle instead of two indicating a stereo) and you have enabled the record button for that track......
Thanks!
No probs...

Two keyboards problem

I'm frustrated:
I followed the instructions in the printed manual p 91 when trying to connect my two keyboards.
The "bottom one" functions perfectly on MIDI ch 1 - giving a piano sound.
The second one doesn't give any sound - Mainstage's MIDI information window says that it receives information on ch. 16 (set by me in learn mode) - and the keys on screen moves correctly when I play. But I can't get any sound out after assigning a channel strip and setting it in the channel strip inspector.
Is my question described accurately so that anyone can help? (being non-native in English)
regards
Martin

Here in America, it's called a PEBCAK- problem exists between chair and keyboard. I'm having serious trouble getting the B3 to work correctly, and I'm sure I'm overlooking something, too.
I've got two keyboards- the upper sends on MIDI channel 1, the lower on channel 2. The EVB3 keyboard is set to Multi. When I press a key on either keyboard, I see it depress on screen, but I'm only getting sound out of the top keyboard- nothing from the bottom.
I can get it to work in Logic, but not in MainStage. What am I missing?
FWIW, the upper keyboard is an Edirol PCR, connected via USB to the computer (20" Intel iMac 2.4, 4GB RAM). The lower keyboard is a Radio Shack MD-1160 that is connected via MIDI to the Edirol FA-101 that's my audio/MIDI interface. I just reversed the channels on them, and the PCR will output audio as channel 2 (lower manual), but nothing out of the Radio Shack.
I just rerouted the Radio Shack's MIDI so it goes through the PCR. Same thing- I can SEE that both keyboards are acting as they should, but can't HEAR anything out of the lower manual.
(some time passes)
OK- I've been playing with it some more. So far, I've been working with a Starter Concert. I opened up one of the presets and played a while on the Radio Shack keyboard set to MIDI channel all. Then I added another keyboard to the preset, and set the channels to 1 for the upper and 2 for the lower. Now I can see both keyboards receiving the notes I'm playing, but I can only hear the LOWER one.
Back in Logic, everything works as it should. Maybe I've got a bug, and need to reinstall? At any rate, it's time to do some yard work and get away from this #$^$^(@$%^#$%^& computer.
I'd sure appreciate any advice y'all can give me on this. I'm at my wits' end.
Thanks,
Bonzer

Multiple keyboards with Mainstage

I am currently using mainstage with my Roland A-30 midi keyboard through a yamaha usb/midi interface and it works fine.
I am wondering if I can also use a basic USB keyboard into my other USB connection on my macbook at the same time. So one keyboard will use one sound, and the other keyboard will use another sound.
Is this possible?

A channel strip listens to exactly ONE keyboard object. Not to a MIDI keyboard, an object in the workspace.
In the layout mode you can configure a keyboard object to only listen to certain MIDI events. Usually only they events that come from a specific MIDI keyboard (MIDI port and MIDI channel match). You can however e.g. ignore the channel or port for a keyboard object. Then this object might listen to multiple MIDI keyboards.
This is the trick used for the EVB3: one keyboard object that receives MIDI events from several MIDI keyboards.
Your EXS24 is listen to several keyboards, because you selected the EVB3 keyboard object as its input.
I hope this clarifies the "magic" behind the difference of a MIDI keyboard and a keyboard object.
BTW: There is one exception: if you have no keyboard in the workspace at all, the channel strip will still work: they listen to everything. Its like having a keyboard object with MIDI port and channel set to all/all.

Plugging My Apple Keyboard Into a Powered USD Hub

Hi!
I'd like to use my Mbox (Version 1) with my Dual 867 Desktop, whenever I use Protools LE, while switching between Logic & PT LE, and as we all know Digi says the Mbox will not support being plugged into a USB Hub, or the connections on the keyboard, so I'll need to connect it to to one of the "onboard USB sockets."
Well as you know the tower only has two connections. Currently, my USB Hub has my MIDI interface in it, but that will not work from the keyboards USB connections.
So, my question is, will I have any problems if I plug the Apple keyboard into the hub, so I can use the newly open UsB socket in the tower for the Mbox?
By the way, I've used Logic on my new Laptop with the Mbox and so far I've not had any problems, and this is with a song with tons of plugins and a fair number of tracks that I'd orignially recorded on the Dual 867 Desktop.
Thanks for your help.

Have you had any problems with your machine not
waking out of sleep mode? Just a rhetorical question
Right!
I really dunno. The last time I put my system in sleep mode (2 years ago , it was more of a "ETERNAL SLEEP" mode... as you've stated, sleeep is a no-no with pro audio systems.

One hardware fader to control two faders in Mainstage via select button

Hi,
I try to use one hardware fader von a VMK161 plus controller keyboard to control two faders in Mainstage independently. I want to use a "Select button" where I can route the hardware MIDI fader signal to either 1st or 2nd fader in Mainstage.
Any idea how to do this?
Thanks,
Keys Richards

Hi
Unless there is a quick way of re-configuring your hardware fader to send 2 different MIDI messages, I think you are out of luck. I am pretty sure that there is no way to "switch" which Screen Control is active within MS.

HT1473 My girlfriend and I both have iTunes account with our own music libraries and we want to combine our two libraries into one icloude accounts so can both then access our one shared libary at anytime in the cloud. How do we do this?

My girlfriend and I both have iTunes account with our own music libraries and we want to combine our two libraries into one icloude accounts so can both then access our one shared libary at anytime in the cloud. How do we do this?

No it is not possible. Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.

HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account. An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state). If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

Can you plug an external Apple keyboard into a PC?

Hi all,
Does anyone know whether you can plug an external Apple keyboard into a PC? I presume it would, but I don't want to go and buy one and find out the expensive way that it doesn't. Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

I always go for shades of gray, but if you want to it could be a yes (it is not a "no" though).
And Apple keyboards have changed over the years and where you buy, what they carry.... Apple Store is one, another is Amazon, both around $60 but Amazon has the older model I have (and I like to have backup spares too).

I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

I would like to know how do I install the brazilian keyboard into macbook air, keyboard with accents (Portuguese Language), I tried so many times how to put into it (Macbook Air). So, thanks for now! I'm waiting for it.

After you go to system preferences/keyboard/input sources as suggested by sberman, click on the + button and scroll down to Portuguese and select that. Over at the right you will see the choices Brazilian, Brazilian abnt, Portuguese. You might want to add all three to see which you like best.
The "Brazilian" layout is pretty useless. It is identical to the US layout and the only way to make accents is via the option key shortcuts: option + n, then o gives you õ.
The Brazilian abnt and Portuguese layouts have dead keys for adding accents over at the right edge of the keyboard. But these may not match what is printed on your keys.
You may prefer to stay with the US layout. On that you can get accented letters by just holding down the base letter and selecting what you want from the popup menu that appears. Or you can use the option key shortcuts.
Another option is the layout called US International PC, which has accent deadkeys on ~, ', etc.
Which ever layout you want to use, you must select it in the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen.
To see which key does what for any layout, use the Keyboard Viewer:

Hi, all. May i know how to combine the two elements into a same block when displaying?
That's mean this two element content will not be split into two part between two pages when there is insufficient space in the front page.
Thanks.

You can evoke the PROTECT..ENDPROTECT in the print program before the call of the text elements.
      CALL FUNCTION 'CONTROL_FORM'
        EXPORTING
          command = 'PROTECT'.
      CALL FUNCTION 'CONTROL_FORM'
        EXPORTING
          command = 'ENDPROTECT'.
