Is there any interest in reports regarding using Apple MainStage with the hardware alone and with the AU Editor plugin? I played around with that yesterday for a while and immediately ran into several (yet not clearly identified) problems, which included freezing MainStage as well as freezing the Sub 37 (hardware)!
What I can tell right off the top of my head is:
(the hardware was hooked up to an External Instrument channel in the Concert or in a Patch)
- MS/Editor: Having two instances of the Sub 37 Editor AU plugin freezes MainStage immediately. To have two instances seems silly at first, but you’ll have that as soons as you duplicate a MS Patch which contains a channel with the plugin - which seems like the normal way to work in MainStage (otherwise you can’t have different settings for the same channel/plugin/instrument, AFAIK)
- MS/Hardware: When changing Patches in MS (without any Editor instance) the hardware would all of a sudden play sequences by itself, as if the D1 note was pressed. But keyboard was not touched.
- MS/Hardware: Notes would just hang without any reason. Sometimes switching the sound presets on the hardware cleared that up, sometimes not.
- A situation I don’t remember the circumstances, where the Sub 37 would not put out any sound anymore and had to be power cycled.
I am new to MainStage and the Sub 37, so some f theabove might be due to user errors, but even then I wouldn’t expect the systems to be impacted that severely.
