External Instrument not working?

Others have also reported issues with the external instrument plug-in. Works in Logic, but not in MainStage. An alternative is to configure an external midi instrument on a channel strip. A midi instrument can send program change commands for bank and patch. It works.

 

Lastly, some external synths require that you turn local control “off” on the global config. This is the case with my Roland XP-30. If local control is “on” the synth engine will only accept midi CC commands from the synth keyboard.

Thanks for that info!

 

What I'm trying to do is use a third party midi fx plugin called Thesys, a step sequencer, to send midi data to an external hardware instrument.

 

In Logic, I can get this to work using the external instrument plugin.

 

I just tried using an External Instrument Channel Strip in Mainstage and I can't seem to get it to work. I have my audio unit set in the midi out, using the correct midi out channel (same as I had it configured in Logic)
