4 To find subsequent patch settings with the same name, choose Find Again in Library
from the Action menu.
Note: If you have saved multiple patches to a .patch file using the Save as Set command
(or the Export as Set command in MainStage 1.0) in the Action 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 while
the individual patches are opened from the .patch file.
Adding a Patch
You can add patches to the concert and organize them in the Patch List. The number of
patches is limited only by the amount of available memory in your system. When you
add a patch to a concert, the patch is selected so you can easily audition and select a
patch setting from the Patch Library.
To add a new patch
1 Click the Add Patch button (+), located in the upper-right corner of the Patch List.
The new patch appears in the Patch List, and the Patch Library is open in the Patch
Inspector.
2 Select the patch setting you want to use from the Patch Library.
If you want to play the patch using your keyboard controller, select a Keyboard patch. If
you want to play the patch using your electric guitar, select a Guitar Rig patch. For other
instruments or vocals, you can choose a template from the appropriate category or modify
a keyboard or guitar template to suit your needs.
3 If the patch uses an audio channel strip, make sure the channel strip is set to use the
correct audio input, then gradually raise the volume fader on the channel strip until you
hear sound on the channel.
