You can create a patch by combining several existing patches. The new patch contains all of the
channel strips of the selected patches.
Create a patch from several existing patches
1 In the Patch List, select the patches you want to use to create the new patch.
2 Choose Create Patch from Selected Patches from the Action pop-up menu at the upper-right
corner of the Patch List.
The new combined patch appears in the Patch List, labeled “Untitled Patch.”
3 Double-click the name and type a name for the combined patch.
Note: Creating a patch with more than three channel strips can aect performance, particularly if
they use a large number of plug-ins or processor-intensive plug-ins.
Set the time signature for patches
You can set the time signature for a patch. Time signatures can be used with the Playback
plug-in and also control the beats for the metronome. When you set the time signature for a
patch, it overrides any concert- or set-level time signature.
Set the time signature for a patch
1 In the Patch Inspector, select the Attributes tab.
2 In the Attributes tab, select the Has Time Signature checkbox.
3 Double-click the number in the eld at the right, and enter the number of beats for one measure
of the time signature.
4 Choose the beat value from the pop-up menu at the right.
Change the tempo when you select a patch
You can give a patch its own tempo setting so that when you select the patch, the tempo
changes to the patch tempo setting. MainStage uses the new tempo until you select another
patch or set with its own tempo setting, tap a new tempo, or until MainStage receives tempo
information from incoming MIDI messages. For more information about using and changing
tempo in MainStage, see Tempo overview on page 90.
Change the tempo using a patch
1 In the Attributes tab of the Patch Inspector, set the patch tempo using the Change Tempo To
value slider.
2 To activate the patch tempo when the patch is selected, select the Change Tempo To checkbox.
Select the checkbox
and set the tempo using
the slider.
