A bigger problem was that VST support in MaxMSP was becoming problematic and unreliable, at least for the ways in which I needed to use them. Unfortunately, newer versions of Max were becoming much less reliable and I was forced to stick with MaxMSP version 5 even though newer versions had some really cool features, particularly editing related, that would have been really helpful. It was an ongoing project and it worked sufficiently well that I went on tour several times with that environment. I wrote a 3-part article about how I did this which you can read on our old blog page. My next approach was to implement MainStage functionality using MaxMSP version 5 from Cycling74. However, I soon ran into some very bizarre problems with MainStage, the details of which are beyond the scope of this article but suffice it to say that I just couldn’t get things to work reliably the way I needed. You know, surrounding myself with about 9 keyboards including a Korg Oasys, a Prophet 8, a Moog Voyager, a twin-manual Hammond clone and various MIDI keyboard controllers. At the time, I was still doing the Rick Wakeman/Keith Emerson thing.

As a Mac user I was naturally drawn to Apple MainStage, which, at the time, I felt was going to be just perfect for me. The short answer is we needed it ourselves! The long answer is, well, much longer, so read on.Īlthough I was using various MIDI sequencers and DAWs since the 80s, I only got back into live performance about nine years ago.
