Hi all,
I'm just starting to use MainStage and am already encountering strange problems with controllers. Hopefully, someone can help! (Peter Ostry, are you there?)
(My setup is actually a bit more complicated than this, but for clarity I've left out unnecessary (?) details.)
My Layout has 3 MIDI Activity objects which receive MIDI data on channels 1, 2 and 3 on a particular MIDI port. I have a patch with 3 EXS24 instances; they receive MIDI data from those 3 MIDI Activity objects which, as mentioned, receive MIDI data on channels 1, 2 and 3 on a particular MIDI port.
I have a hardware controller (Roland PK-7 bass pedals) which default to channel 2 and which have an expression pedal that sends CC11; it's on a different MIDI port than the one the MainStage MIDI Activity objects are set to.
BUT when I move this expression pedal all 3 EXS24 instances respond to it, even though (1) they receive on different MIDI channels, and (2) the CC11 messages are coming into the computer only on channel 2 *and* on an different MIDI port. All MIDI routings are being ignored and MainStage is responding to CC11 messages no matter what channel and/or port they're on. It shouldn't be responding to ANY CC11 messages because they're not routed to anything in MainStage.
Am I missing something? Or is this (as I suspect) a major problem that should be reported to Apple?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Cheers, Billious
