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.

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)

  • Adobe Reader 11 MUI failing to install using transform and patch 11.0.10 via cmd/SCCM in one package

    Hello,
    I have all the files, MST and the patch located in one folder. I am trying to use the following MSI command lines locally on my computer before I can attempt to deploy this via SCCM 2012. I am having issues either with the package not compatible or using /p and getting the MSIEXEC help window prompt. I've tried a few command lines:
    msiexec /i AcroRead.msi PATCH="AdbeRdrUpd11010_MUI.msp" TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst"
    msiexec /i AcroRead.msi /p AdbeRdrUpd11010_MUI.msp TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst"
    msiexec /i AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS="AcroRead.mst" /p AdbeRdrUpd11010_MUI.msp
    Adding /qn on the end makes the install work silently when not attempting to include the patch, but fails to install it silently when only using the transform file that I have selected in the wizard to silently install.
    We have 5 different versions from 8.0 through 10.0 in our environment of 3000 machines. Sadly this was not managed before...I can easily update our current 11.0 versions that range from 11 to 11.0.09 by only applying the patch to them but need to get the full install working for the 2500 machines I need to target.
    I tried using the /a command which seems to work, but creates program files and common files folders inside my adobe folder on the desktop when executing it from the cmd. Am i suppose to package that folder all in one and then use the /i command to install adobe? I've been researching for a week but finally hit a wall where I dont think I am getting anywhere.
    Thank you in advance,
    Kevin

    I have almost answered my own question as I just came across this link
    https://it-god.co.uk/deploy-adobe-reader-xi-11-0-10-with-sccm-2012/
    This is for the plain reader version, but we use MUI now (due to other languages required in our environmet). I get to the part where it asks to apply the patch to the AIP folder but it fails.
    msiexec /p AdbeRdrUpd11010.msp /a C:\Reader\11.0.10\AcroRead.msi
    I changed this to account for the MUI naming,
    msiexec /p AdbeRdrUpd11010_MUI.msp /a C:\Reader\11.0.10\AcroRead.msi
    But I get the windows prompt that says this package can not be opened, please verify. I ensured that both the patch and base install were MUI versions, and i downloaded fresh copies of each. I also unblocked the patch so that it can run. No luck so far.
    EDIT: Using another guide i found the command line (modified the path to my location) and this worked,
    msiexec /a C:\adobe\Reader\11.0.10\AcroRead.msi /qb /p AdbeRdrUpd11010_MUI.msp TARGETDIR=C:\adobe\Reader\11.0.10\

  • Using A Key To Change A Patch

    I'm using MainStage in a scenario that requires a number of quick patch changes in tightly scripted music.
    In one particular situation that change is so tight that I want to assign one of the keys on the (piano) keyboard to change the patch. That is, I want one of the notes in a passage that I'm playing to cause the patch to change to the next in line.
    This was pretty simple to accomplish.
    The problem is that when the command was mapped to the MIDI note at the patch level (not at the Concert or Set level) it disabled that note's ability to trigger audio from the soft-synths. This happened not only for that note in that patch, but for that note for all the patches in the concert.
    I want the key to both change the patch and continue to function as a playable note.
    Any idea on how to do this?

    The main thing that I'm trying to figure out is this:
    If I map a parameter to a note played on the keyboard, why does it disable that note from triggering a pitch as well? Keep in mind that the patch change command was set at the 'patch level' (not the 'concert' or 'set level'. I don't know why the mapping would affect anything outside of that patch.
    I haven't considered the multi-channel solution. It's not an important enough problem for me to search out a solution that could impose other unknown issues at this point.
    I know that Kurzweill's can easily use a MIDI note as a 'patch increment' command without disabling that note's sound-triggering function. I wonder how to do it in MainStage.

  • Using 2 controllers with 2 separate patches sets

    i have two controllers and i would like to use separate patches sets, how can i do?
    for example:
    controller 1 -> piano
    controller 2 -> organ, synth
    i want to switch between organ and synth with program change but if i make a patch with two channel strips (piano on channel 1 and organ on channel 2) when i send program change i should have another patch with another piano and then the synth. is there a way to have only one istance of piano and to have the program change switching only between organ and synth?
    thanks

    Program change messages are not passed to the channel strips, they are captured and used for changes Mainstage patches. I think that the easiest way to do what you want is to use the mutes of the channel strips that have organ and synth on them, but not affecting the mute state of the piano channel strip.
    Your patch would have both sounds mapped across the same range of the keyboard. Add 2 buttons to the workspace and learn them to the same button (or whatever) on your external controller. Go to Edit mode then map each of the on-screen buttons to the mutes of the 2 channel strips you want to control. Then use the mute button on the channel strip and mute the sound you don't want to hear at first.
    Now, when you push the button on your external controller the mutes states of the 2 channel strips should switch... the first one should mute while the second one unmutes. This will allow you to stay in the same patch but switch between the 2 sounds.

  • Kontakt and other MultiTimbral Synths in Mainstage

    Hi...very frustrated user here..
    I need to build a patch list using sounds from a single Kontakt instance. That is, I have one instance of Kontakt 3 using all 16 channels as a multi-timbral instrument. In Mainstage, I can see no way of accessing the individual channels in Kontakt....when I add a new patch, assigning Kontakt 3 as an AU instrument creates a new Kontakt instance rather then referencing the old one.
    In Logic 8, when you add a soft-synth patch, you have the option of a multi-timbral tickbox. In Mainstage you dont. Is there any way of doing this in Mainstage? Obviously, using 16 different instances of Kontakt is out of the question as DFD settings means each instance is at least 100mb.
    Many Thanks
    Joel

    OK... I just tried it and what I suggested first is indeed wrong. The problem with the first suggestion is that you can only choose one keyboard object to input to a particular channel strip.
    The way to do it, assuming I understand what you're trying to do, is this. In Layout mode add one keyboard object and select it. In the Inspector, set it's channel to All. Now, whatever MIDI channel you input will passed to the channel strip with Kontakt on it.
    I added 3 patches into Kontakt, set to channels 1, 2 and 3. Then when I input channel 1 from my controller I get the sound that is set to that channel in Kontakt - a piano in this case. If I switch my controller to channel 2 then I hear the sound that in Kontakt that is set to 2 - an organ.. etc.
    Does this work for you, and is it what you need?
    Cheers

  • HT1476 After update to either iOS 7.0.3 or 7.0.4, my iPhone 4S won't charge. I'm using charger and cable that came with the phone. Nothing else changed.

    I'm using charger and cable that came with the phone. Nothing else changed.
    I think it was the update the iOS 7.0.4 that I did last night. I woke up this morning with my battery almost drained and the charging function going off and on every few seconds, like it would start charging then disconnect, then reconnect repeatedly.
    I've tried restarting the phone and hard restarting the phone several times, but I'm getting really low on battery by now (under 20%).
    I've tried cleaning the connector with a little isopropyl alcohol, and blowing it out with compressed air. Though I can't be 100% certain, it's very unlikely my connector died exactly at the same time I was updating my phone. Especially since it appears I'm not the only one with this problem.
    And now, after the last hard reset, my phone doesn't even recognize the charger at all, or being connected with the USB cable to my MacBook Pro.
    I turned off my phone so when I go to the Apple Store it will power up one last time, but besides that I'm out of ideas.

    Just back from Genius Bar and two other people at my table had the same problem. Their 4Ss aren't charging either. One of them had a fried board according to the tech. At least my HW checked out OK. It just won't charge.
    The tech tried to tell me that it was because my connector was corroded, which I told him was kind of a weak argument since evidence points to that the update has something to do with it.
    They're seeing a lot of these and it looks like they already have a script.
    Luckily I had enough juice left to recycle it for like $180, so I picked up a 5S with a new 2 year.
    It looked to me like this is going to blow up pretty big. Like class action lawsuit big.
    If you have an iPhone 4 or 4S, and you haven't updated it to iOS 7, don't for now. See if a patch comes out that doesn't brick your phone. Or get an induction charger maybe? Don't just update and expect absolutely no problems because too many people are having problems right now.

  • OS 64bit and Oracle 10G with Patch are 32bit

    Hello Experts
    My problem little bit typical. I am new in Oracle.
    I am going to install Solution Manager 4.0 with Oracle 10G on Windows 2003 64bit, IBM x3650 Server.
    I have already installed Oracle 10G 32bit, with 32bit patches,. It’s a general Oracle without sapserver.cmd file, so I have installed with setup.exe file. I have mounted the database, created the listener.
    New there are three directories  1) D:\Oracle\Product\10.2.0\admin\DEV10\adump, bdump………etc. db\admin
    2) E:\Oracledata\DEV10\control01.ctl, 02.ctl…………etc.
    3) G:\ Archives
    Now I am trying to install SOLMAN with sapinst.exe 64bit windows, after giving the export path, it shows the massage ‘Oracle software not installed. Install oracle software first.’ Means SAP does not recognizing Oracle.
    After that I am trying to install with sapinst.ext 32bit, now it is excepting the export path. After two steps it is asking for Kernal & Oracle client path. What is oracle client? I think it is asking for OCL10264.SAR file.
    My Questions are:
    1. I have to download form market place 32bit or 64bit file?
    2. My oracle installation is proper or not.
    3. Where I have to uncar that file. Please provide me the proper path, step by step.
    4. I am going to the right direction or I am a wrong. Please help me ….. I don’t want to format the machine.
    Please explain me in details step by step. I am in the problem, I have no friends in this line. 
    Best Regards
    Sunil

    > My Questions are:
    > 1. I have to download form market place 32bit or 64bit file?
    if you're installing on 64bit you need to install the 64bit Oracle binaries. And not only those but the actual patch 10.2.0.2 and the necessary interim patches before you can start to load the database. Additionally you should use the provided script to install the database, not setup.exe
    Additionally you will need a 64bit JDK from Sun (avaible on the link in note 941595).
    > 2. My oracle installation is proper or not.
    No - you need a 64bit Oracle - and not the installation CDs downloaded from the Oracle site but those from SAP.
    > 3. Where I have to uncar that file. Please provide me the proper path, step by step.
    Where you have to uncar WHAT file?
    > 4. I am going to the right direction or I am a wrong. Please help me ….. I don’t want to format the machine.
    The proper approach would be to download the installation guide at
    http://service.sap.com/instguides
    and read all the installation notes, download the patches and install them as suggested in the guide before trying to start the installation. The preparation and planning of the system will take some time before you actually start to install.
    A SolMan installation is no Microsoft Office where you do "setup - continue - continue - finish"...

  • How to use the Arpeggiator with Software Synths

    I recently bougth Logic Pro 7.2 and it took me a while to find out how to get the soft synths to work. At the moment I am only using the computer keyboard to play in the notes and it works well so far.
    If you want to activate a soft synth, choose an audio instrument and select your synth from the i/o on the left column in the arranger. Then turn on your caps key and start playing and press record and thats it. I now what to use the Arpeggiator with the soft synths. What do I do?

    If you type "arpeggiator" (without the quotes) into the search field over on the right, you'll turn up a ton of threads with all the info you could ever need about how to use Logic's arpeggiators.
    Inshort hand - create an arpeggiator object in the environment, cable it to the soft synth you want to use, and select the arpeggiator object you created on an arrange track. The notes you play/record will be sent through the arpeggiator to generate the arpeggiated notes, and on to trigger the synth you cabled it to.

  • Sort Dumps All Over in DEV and QAS While Applying Patches - Help Pls

    Applying about 80 patches on DEV and QAS over the weekend with the "Minimize Downtime" option. I got failure at the "TEST_IMPORT" phase and tried to backout and ignore the error but now I keep getting short dumps for any tcode that I use. I can't get past short dumps.
    Here is a sample of short dump that I got when I try to execute SPAM and reapply just one patch. I does not load the patch, it just generates a short dump. I opened an OSS note with SAP and they refused to consider that as high priority. Since my DEV and QAS systems are down, the developers will not have any system to work on today and there will be a lot pressure on me today. Please help.
    Short Dump text below                                                                        
    The following syntax error occurred in the program SAPLKKBL :           
    "The field "GFLG_NESTED_PRINT_ON" is unknown, but there is a field with"
    Error in ABAP application program.                                                                               
    The current ABAP program "CL_GUI_ALV_GRID===============CP" had to be   
    terminated because one of the                                          
    statements could not be executed.                                                                               
    This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.                                                                               
    What can you do?                                                                               
    Please eliminate the error by performing a syntax check                 
    (or an extended program check) on the program "SAPLKKBL ".              
    You can also perform the syntax check from the ABAP/4 Editor.           
    If the problem persists, proceed as follows:                            
    Print out the error message (using the "Print" function)                
    and make a note of the actions and input that caused the                
    error.

  • What is the use of security pathces or cpu patches?

    Hi
    All,
    What is the use of security pathces or cpu patches?
    Thanks,
    Vishal

    Basically, Security patches keep your system secure from known expoits which could compromise your database should someone try to hack it. You don't have to put these patches on but you do need to assess the risk of not patching by checking what the security patch patches and deciding whether you are exposed or not. If you are unsure, then I'd recommend you patch.
    CPU patches are Critical Patch Updates that are issued quarterly. These are a mix of security patches and bug fixes. The same applies - you don't have to patch but it is worth taking a look at what is patch and making some assessment of how exposed you might be if you don't.
    Be warned, though. If you hit a problem and need Oracle's help, then Oracle support may insist that you are patched to the latest patchsets before they will assit with your issue (assuming the patch doesn't fix the issue).
    One word of advice would be that if you do decide to patch, patch your test environment first and make sure everything works normally afterwards, just in case the patch introduces a new issue for your environment - this is rare but I have seen it happen.
    Cheers,

  • 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.

  • Using NULL and NOT NULL in prompted filters

    Dear all,
    While trying to grap the concept of prompted filters in sap bo web intelligence, I had a question whether why we cannot use NULL and NOT NULL while creating a prompted filters in our report.

    HI,
    'Is Null' and 'Not Null' are the predefined functions in webi which only eliminate the null values or considering only null values.
    'Is Null' and 'Not Null' are itself predefined functions that why you are not getting  prompts.
    Null values are standard across the databases so this is defined  as a function in webi to specific eliminate the null values.
    If something is not standard then there is option in the webi to use different operator with static values or with prompts.
    More more information on Null see the Null wiki page.
