Set program change and bank numbers in MainStage
When you add a patch to a concert, the patch is given a MIDI program change number
(the lowest available number) until all available program change numbers are taken. You
can select patches using program change numbers in performance by assigning buttons
on a MIDI device to send program change messages. The program change number can be
edited in the Patch Inspector.
To select more than 128 patches, you can also set the bank number for a patch.
You can reset program change numbers for all active (non-skipped) patches in a concert.
When you reset program change numbers, patches are assigned program change numbers
based on their order in the PatchList, starting from the top. The program change numbers
for skipped (inactive) patches are not reset.
To select patches by bank, first send the bank select message, then the program
change message.
Note: Some devices send program change numbers in the range of 0–127, while other
devices use the range of 1–128. You can set which range of program change numbers
MainStage uses in MainStage > Preferences > MIDI.
