Select patch settings in the Patch Library
When you open a concert or select a patch, the Patch Library opens in the Patch Inspector below
the workspace. The Patch Library contains a variety of patches optimized for the instrument the
concert is designed for. You can quickly audition patch settings in the Patch Library and choose a
setting for the selected patch. You can also search for patch settings by name.

command in MainStage 1.0) in the Action pop-up menu, the saved file appears as a patch in the
Patch Library unless you have selected a different location for saving the file. Clicking the saved
file in the Patch Library causes an alert to appear when the individual patches are opened from
the .patch file.
