Q: Yamaha MOXF keyboard to control Mainstage?

I can't find any way to assign the buttons of the MOXF keyboard to Mainstage buttons.  Also, if I reset the patch numbers, the MOXF can't change patches anymore.  I would like to have a keyboard like the MOXF on a gig - so, if my Mainstage sounds failed I would have a backup keyboard.  However, it seems like none of the buttons work like dedicated keyboard controller buttons.

    According the MOXF data list, your keyboard sends and receives MIDI data. The MIDI window at the top of the edit page in MainStage will indicate if data is received. If this isn't happening, check the MIDI settings in the MOXF.

    Regarding the patch change reset command in Mainstage .

    When you do so , it enables also the bank select command for each patch .

    Go in the patch attribute tab and unselect Bank select for every patch . You will be able to send patch change from the MOXF to Mainstage and it will respond correctly .

    I had the same issue using a Motif ES as controller because it doesn't send bank select command when you change patch .

    You can select all patches in Mainstage at deselect bank command in attributes to save time

     

    hope this helps
