Block Controller MIDI Port Data Causing Unwanted Pitch Bend in MainStage
So I've been using MainStage for years in my live setup (currently on a MacBook Pro M1 Max)- its a pretty rudimentary setup to simply pick patches for multiple MIDI keyboards - and decided to integrate an SSL UF8 Controller for hands-on physical faders for band audio. This uses the Mackie controller protocol on its own virtual MIDI ports. However, MainStage "sees" all the controller adjustments as Pitch Bends, so when I change a fader level, I bend my MIDI keyboard notes out of tune!!
So I dove into the MainStage manual, hoping to find a simple way to enable/disable MIDI ports, but can't find anything of the sort. I initially found some controls in my Concert mapped to "ALL" MIDI ports, but changing that didn't solve my problem. I went back to a brand new Concert with only one patch and keyboard entry, but it still gets corrupted by the UF8 fader MIDI data. Not sure how this is getting seen by my MainStage patches, but I have to find a way to stop it.
Any help will be very much appreciated!
Thanks,
