I use MS for live performance. Since the 3.3 update, many of my patches don't sound until I go into Edit mode and highlight the VI's strip in the mixer... Save and reopen doesn't stick... thanks in advance for any help or commiseration.

I'm using an M-Audio Axiom controller with Mainstage 3. Since they're rotary encoders, it seems like they should be able to just increase the assigned screen control when turned right and decrease it when turned left, regardless of where it's starting from, if you understand what I'm saying. As is, I have to turn the knob a fair amount to 'catch' the onscreen value. Very slow in performance situations. Is there a way to achieve what I'm after? Thanks William

New to MS. Want to go completely virtual, and need to figure if I'll be able to switch patches independently for two keyboards, to mimic what I'm used to using two hardware 'boards. In other words, I'll have two controllers, I assume set to different channels. I need to be able to, for example, switch the main 'board's patch to a Rhodes sound, then switch the other 'board's sounds freely without changing (or reloading) the maind 'board's sound. Also vice-versa- I need to be able to be playing, say a string part on the top kybd and switch the bottom board to B3, then maybe Piano, then wurlie. I don't want to have to try to set up every possible combination of patches for the two, if you understand- I want full flexibility. Is this possible in MainStage?
