How many simultaneous outputs? Audio + Keyboard etc?

[Marvin Gaye is a genius]

HI people, I'm a newbie,

 

BIg question burning on me - gave a browse to articles before but can't find out answer -

 

Is it possible in mainstage to play more than channel at once - e.g. sing into an effect and accompany yourself using piano?

 

[i guess I would link my comp with my MOTU ultralite audio interface,

plug my Yamaha Motif ES into it and an xlr mic input and get the ability to play a rhodes sample [eg] and sing along with an effect on my voice? so 2 simultaneous tracks going out at once.]

 

Wot do u reckon?

 

I have a macbook pro 2011 which has two USB 2 inputs and a firewire 800 connector. Using MOTU Ultralite with a Motif ES 8

 

 

Thanks for ur help

Yes, of course you can,

and you can do also more than you can imagine with mainstage

 

You can even connect also a guitar player while singing and playing piano.

 

I'm playing 3 keyboards with mainstage, and yes, sometimes at the same time

2 hand, and one in a pattern with arpeggiator.

 

you can also use both midi and audio for your motif, to use internal instrument of motif, and also virtual instrument.

Oh great!

 

Can anyone post any useful links/advice about getting the different simultaneous channels working? For instance selecting voice input and keyboard input at once?

 

Can't seem to find a quick route to doing that . . .

 

Thanks
