Apple MainStage
Apple MainStage is the premier live performance software for Mac, turning your MacBook into a virtual instrument powerhouse. It hosts all of Logic Pro's instruments and effects — Alchemy, vintage keyboards, orchestral sounds — organized into Concerts, Sets, and Patches designed for live workflows. With near-zero latency and deep MIDI control, MainStage is the backbone of many professional touring rigs.
How to Use Apple MainStage with Gigmeister
Select "Apple MainStage" in Gigmeister. MainStage maps Sets to Bank Select LSB and Patches to Program Change numbers. Use "Reset Bank and Program Numbers" in MainStage to auto-assign sequential values, or manually assign custom PC numbers in the Patch Inspector. Gigmeister's picker shows Set and Patch numbers matching your MainStage configuration. Assign patches to songs and let Gigmeister switch your entire MainStage rig automatically.
