Using a Patch to Change the Tempo

You can give a patch its own tempo setting so that when you select the patch, the
tempo changes to the patch tempo setting. MainStage uses the new tempo until you
select another patch or set with its own tempo setting, tap a new tempo, or until
MainStage receives tempo information from incoming MIDI messages. For more
information about using and changing tempo in MainStage, see “

Using Tempo in a

MainStage Concert

” on page 39.

To change the tempo using a patch:

1

In the Patch Inspector, set the patch tempo using the “Change Tempo to” value slider.

2

Select the “Change Tempo to” checkbox to activate the patch tempo when the patch is
selected.

Changing Patch Icons

Each patch has an icon that appears in the Patch List next to the patch name. By
default, the patch icon shows the type of channel strip created when the patch was
added. You can choose a new icon for a patch, and use icons to visually distinguish
patches in the Patch List.

To change the icon for a patch:

m

In the Patch Inspector, choose an icon from the Icon pop-up menu.

Deleting Patches

You can delete a patch if you decide you no longer want it in the concert.

To delete a patch:

1

Select the patch in the Patch List.

2
