2 or more midi usb controllers
Hello,
do MainStage support 2 or more midi usb controllers?
Yes it does. I use two keyboards all the time. MS3 actually has a two keyboard template.
Hope this helps.

Hello Josh, thanks for the answer. Although there is an ongoing conflict of some sort, which I don't understand... I have the Gio as my I/O device and when I connect my korg padcontroll none of them are recognized by the system.
Could you advise about this? Thanks, best thoughts, ag
Trying to think out loud here:
Are both the GiO and the Korg relying on the USB for power? Could that be an issue?
Do you have the latest drivers for both devices?
Does the Korg work by itself (without the GiO plugged in)?
Does the GiO work by itself?
Have you mapped/assigned both controllers in Layout mode of Mainstage?
Are you using a Concert you designed/mapped yourself, or one of the existing templates?
I've read a few other posts here about the GiO not playing nice with other devices. I'm not familar with that piece of gear (other than looking at the website to try to help you), but it seems like it should work okay.
Hope this helps.
Hello Josh,
Thanks for the input...
Well I tried out the first 4 opitons form your list. For all these the answer is yes. And still has not solved the problem.
I don't know much about mapping - I'm brand new to the mainstage, honestly rather to not messing up something, I won't thouch mapping till I'll learn more about it...
Basically what I'd need is to have the guitar setup, where I'd introduce rhythm patches what I'd like to control with the padKontrol...
Also I havn't found any material or tutorial about how to use the drum machine patches in a global way (meaning to have the rhythm ongoing even if I'd change guitar sound patches in the set)
Thanks again fot oyur kind help and support, ag
There are some awesome tutorials on this site:

There are definitely some tutorials here that will help you with using the drum machine globally.
Hope this helps.

Set up the "rhythm patches' at Set level, such that they will keep going throughout that Set (whilst you change Guitar patches in that Set), with another Set (Rhythm at Set level) with other Patches as needed.
You can also get the rhythm parts to start automatically on Patch (Set) change if you like
