I loaded 2.1.1 and the mapping with my Axiom 61 pro got completely screwed up. It did not retain ANY parameter info. In fact I had to trash it and go back to 2.0 to get my rig working. I nearly lost my gig as I spent a whole set trying to fix the problem. I didn't have any problems going from MS 1 to MS2 but 2.2.1 completely didn't work for my rig. Any suggestions? I would like to be able to get the advantage of the note sticking problem resolved as the Evb Organ sticks notes. Mainstage is really packed with features BUT not yet trustworthy for live gigs.

On the Axiom 61 pro you can access patch changes a number of ways.You go to edit/Global/Prog then dial up a numeric patch. When assigning a button or dial to work as a controller, DON"T use the "learn" function in mainstage. For some reason Axiom sends weird info that mainstage don't respond well to...... Jittery and jumpy response etc Instead set Axiom's dial or button to match the cc# of the parameter you want it to control in mainstage.I find cc#'s 102 to 107 work well and haven't conflicted with anything else so far. Once you've synchronized knob/button numerically you can map it by selecting the button/slider icon in mainstage then hit map and then click on the appropriate function you wish to control. This came from hours of trial and error. This process will also allow you to set drum pads or other buttons to correspond to particular patches.....whew...I hope that helps

Thanks. I'll look in to it. I did find my manual. Apple is really good about supplying detailed manuals. Axiom pro is suppose to have intuitive controls but I guess unless you're in Pro Tools, that feature works half-ass

I am having a hard time assigning the Axiom 61's sliders to the EVB upper drawbars on Mainstage 8. Does anyone have the midi cc# s that correspond to the upper drawbars? Since the default Axiom sliders cc# assignments don't match , I have conflicts with other parameters....very frustrating....thanks!
