Selecting Patches in Performance
In Full Screen or Perform mode, you can view and select patches using the selector
screen control in your layout. Patches and sets appear in the selector in the same order
as in the Patch List in Edit mode.
When you select a patch, you can start playing it instantly. If you are sustaining notes
from the previous patch, they continue to be sustained until you release the notes
or the sustain pedal. If the previous patch contains eects (such as a reverb or delay
eect) with a release “tail,” the eect tail continues sounding for the amount of time set
in the Silence Previous Patch pop-up menu in MainStage Preferences.
