MainStage 2.0.1 Update

This update improves overall performance and provides numerous fixes and enhancements, especially to Loopback and Playback plug-ins. This update is recommended for all users of Mainstage 2.

Issues addressed include (but are not limited to): 

  • The memory usage display is now more accurate and shows MainStage and total system memory combined. 
  • Feedback protection is now disabled if not in use resulting in a significant CPU performance improvement for audio channels.
  • The Reverse option for Loopback now behaves consistently.
  • Pitchbend is now transmitted properly to external instruments.
  • The I/O plug-in is now available in Mainstage.

Enhancements include:

  • Loopback can now be started by a Play action.
  • Loopback now has an option to transfer its tempo information to the Concert when its Sync option is disabled, and it derives its tempo from the first recorded loop.
  • The Post-Pan option is now available for channel strip Sends.
  • MIDI out is improved to make it possible to send program changes via Mapping, and to allow MIDI Start/Stop/Continue messages to be sent on patch changes to external channel strips.
