How do you change patches in performance?
Well, here I am, asking 2 questions in one day... 🙂
Even though I'm a long-time Logic user, I'm very, very new to Mainstage. In fact, I'm using it for the first time next week on a gig. It's a theater-pit gig.
From your experience, what's the best way to trigger patch changes on Main Stage during a performance? For my gig next week, it's a pretty simple set-up, so I may just use the computer keyboard's up/down arrows. But I know that's not very practical on most gigs, especially when you have multiple patch changes per song. And if it goes well for this gig, I'm definitely going to use Mainstage on a summer theater pit gig that is a good-paying, 4-month run. But, it'll be a much more complicated set-up, and will undoubtedly require me to make hands-free patch changes in the middle of songs.
Thoughts?
