Sharing Patches and Sets Between Concerts
You can export patches and sets from a concert and import them into another concert.
When you import a set, all the patches in the set are imported.
To export a patch, do one of the following:
m Drag the patch from the Patch List to the Finder.
The patch appears as a .patch file in the Finder.
m Select the patch, choose Export Patch from the Action menu in the Patch List, then
click Save.
The patch is exported to the ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/MainStage Patches
folder.
To export a set, do one of the following:
m Drag the set from the Patch List to the Finder.
The set appears as a .patch file in the Finder.
m Select the set, choose Export Set from the Action menu in the Patch List, then click
Save.
The set is exported to the MainStage Patches folder.
Note: You can also export an entire concert as a set by selecting the concert and
choosing Export Set from the Action menu.
You can export multiple patches or sets. When you export multiple patches by
dragging them to the Finder, each patch is exported as a .patch file. When you select
multiple patches and export them using the Export Patch command, the patches are
grouped into a single exported set. You can import patches or sets from the Finder to
another open concert.
To import a patch or set, do one of the following:
m In Edit mode, drag the patch or set from the Finder to the Patch List.
m Choose Import from the Action menu in the Patch List, select the patch or set you want
to import, then click Import.
You can also have multiple concerts open at the same time and drag patches and sets
from the Patch List of one concert to the Patch List of another concert. However,
having multiple concerts open uses more of your computer’s CPU and memory
resources. It is recommended that you open multiple concerts only to share patches
and sets, and to close all concerts except the one you are working in when you finish
sharing patches or sets between concerts. When you are performing live, only one
concert should be open.
