Q: Yourock guitar and mainstage 3

Hello

I just wondered if anyone has had success playing a "yourock guitar" from Inspired Instruments with Mainstage 3? I have had trouble getting any midi triggering going for some reason, though a small mini-keyboard will play notes. My yourock guitar registers incoming midi information in the midi monitor, so I am wondering why I cannot trigger any synth sounds? I tested the audio interface passing any audio through by just turning on the click... That works. So why no sound or seeming connection to a synth even though the notes are seen by the program?

Hopefully someone has some idea as to why some midi controllers work and other do not.

Thank you

MacBook Pro (15-inch Early 2011), OS X El Capitan (10.11.5)

    If MainStage is receiving MIDI, it should work. Do you have it assigned in the MIDI input tab of the instrument channel strip inspector? click on keyboard and select your device.

    Hello. Thanks, that narrows it down, but so far no success... When I go to that checkbox, it only says  either None or Multitimbral... There is no "Assign" text. I have clicked in the blank area where it should be, but nothing happens.

    Go to layout mode. Select the keyboard on the layout screen(sorry, but there is no MIDI guitar controller icon in the screen controls palette-feature request to Apple). Click on MIDI port in the screen control inspector. Do you see you rock guitar here. Select it. Then it will show up on the edit page. Good luck.

    Hello

     

    That did it! Thank you for pointing out those things, they weren't very obvious. I've been watching as many youtube videos as I can but there is a lot to this program, and these aspects were never mentioned. I also ended up having to do a "disc repair" as well before it worked.
