Using XV-5080 and Motif ES7 with Mainstage?

Hi There!

It's getting more and more exciting while MS is still installing the additional content. I use my time reading forums, manuals, etc.

I have an Arturia AE Laboratory 49, a Roland XV5080 sound module with some exp. boards, and a Motif ES7.

What I want to do:

I want to use XV5080, ES7, Analog Lab. as the patches; Arturia Lab.49 Keyboard and ES7 as the midi keyboards/controllers. There are 'clues' in the manual proving it can be done, but no explanation. I'm pretty sure I will have to turn Midi=>Local off and that's it! I don't know what to do next. How can I have xv's, ES7's and Arturia's sound/patch banks in MS?

One more thing: I have ES7 software such as the editor and Studio Manager installed on the MacBook. Should I use the ES7 through those programs / applications in MS?

Peace for all...

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Hi

Make on new External Instrument channel strip. Choose the appropriate MIDI Port and channel, as well as the correct audio inputs that your synth is connected to in the New Channel dialog box. You can also selct the reuired keyboard controller now, or do it later.

With the External Channel Strip selected, you can choose a Bank Select and Program Change message in the MIDI OUT tab in the Inspector.
