Hello everyone, I am having some difficulties. I am trying to set up Mainstage 3 to use it for live performances but I am encountering the following problem.

The set I am working with is this:

Weighted keyboard Korg SP 280

Macbook Air

Connection between keyboard and Mac with

Usb midi interface Roland UM-One

I set up a concert Patch List

i find a first folder that I name with the song title and I start making subfolders

that I call verse

chorus 1

etc etc.

Example :

in the verse I set the electric piano and that's it (everything works and especially the Sustain pedal works)

in the chorus I set the electric piano and the organ playing together

the problem is here

The sustain pedal does not work for either the piano or the organ

Can anyone help me?

I don't know, but as described it seems like an interesting field to me... can anyone provide some more info on MainStage, excuse the little OT.

Thanks, the problems you are referring to are that if you hold down the sustain in one patch, sometimes it stays stuck in the next patch, but that is not my problem. Thanks anyway

If you remove the organ, does it work? If yes, and you add another instrument, does it work the same way?

Since you say that

>in the verse I set the electric piano and that's it (everything works and especially the Sustain pedal works)

It seems to me that the problem is in the chorus patch, maybe try making it from scratch?

In short, it seems to me that after this last test your verse and chorus are substantially the same from the point of view of instrumentation and tempo, right? If not, try to make them equal... so we can nail down the patch
