Adding and Organizing Patches
You add and organize the patches in a MainStage concert in
the Patch List.
A MainStage concert can hold all the patches you’ll use in one performance or a series
of performances. The number of patches you can have in a concert is limited only by
the amount of available memory in your system.
MainStage includes a Patch Library with a large collection of patch settings for software
instruments, guitar rigs, audio eects setups, and more. When you add a patch, you can
select a patch setting for it in the Patch Library to play or to use as a starting point for
your own custom setting.
Getting Ready
You add, organize, and edit patches in Edit mode. If the concert is currently in another
mode, switch to Edit mode before you continue working.
Switch to Edit mode:
Click Edit at the upper-left corner of the toolbar (or press Command-2). m
