Main Stage loses Midi connection
I am using main stage 3.01 with a MacBook Pro (2011 with a quad core processor and 16 Gb RAM) connected to a MOTU Ultra-lite FireWire interface.
I have an M- audio key station pro 88 and an axiom 61 each hooked up to the USB ports on the MacBook Pro. Main stage will randomly and quite often just lose all connection (both audio and midi/USB.) in the middle of playing at a rehearsal. I have all of the latest Motu drivers and Mountain Lion 10.8.5 running.
It's frustrating during rehearsal, but unacceptable for live performance. I have some shows coming up and am scared to death to use this rig.
I love the flexibility of main stage and the huge pallet of sounds available to me, but I can't use this program right now live unless I can make it more stable and reliable. I've even tried using the midi ports instead of USB and the same thing happens. Before I scrap this whole rig and go back to traditional synths, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions.
Thanks,
Jimmy Jones
