![]() The Channel list also updates based on the port. For information about disabling MIDI input from a hardware device, consult the documentation for the application.įor ReWire applications, when you add an external channel strip, set the MIDI port to the ReWire slave. Note: When you are using an external instrument to send MIDI to a ReWire slave application (such as Reason or Live), you should disable any MIDI input the slave application receives directly from the hardware controller. The MIDI input pop-up menu shows the Keyboard or MIDI Activity screen controls (which receive MIDI note input) currently in the workspace. You can choose an audio channel or a ReWire application for the input, but cannot choose a bus. You can also choose the MIDI input and output, the format, and the audio input and output for the channel strip. In the New Channel Strip dialog, select External Instrument. The Channel Strip Inspector includes a Send MIDI File control where you can select a standard MIDI file with the information you want to send.Ĭlick the Add Channel Strip button (+) in the upper-right corner of the Channel Strips area. You can also send MIDI messages, including SysEx and continuous control messages, to your connected MIDI hardware devices using an external instrument channel strip. You can also send a program change message to the external instrument when you select the patch to control which program the external instrument uses. When you play your keyboard controller with the patch containing the external MIDI instrument selected, MainStage sends note and other MIDI messages to the chosen MIDI Output and MIDI Channel, receives audio from the chosen Input, and sends the audio output to the chosen Output. The audio output from the instrument is routed to the input of the channel strip, where you can process it using MainStage effects. When you use an external MIDI instrument channel strip, you choose the MIDI channel to send MIDI output from MainStage to the instrument, and choose the audio inputs to receive audio from the instrument. ![]() You can also use an external instrument channel strip to “play” a ReWire application. You can add an external MIDI instrument channel strip to a patch and use it to play an external instrument, such as a hardware synthesizer. Use external MIDI instruments in MainStage Information about specific instruments (for example, Ultrabeat) can be found in the chapters covering those instruments. For more information about using multiple instrument outputs, see MainStage Help and the MainStage Instruments manual. ![]()
