Sorry I meant to attach a spreadsheet I found (not made by me and don’t remember where i got it so I can’t give credit, sorry) that gives the PROGRAM and LSB values for a given program number (multi number in multi mode) - also here’s a screenshot of how I set it up using setlistmaker to change patches (I assume there’s a similar midi setup screen using Camelot?)- in this case below my multi/program number on Forte is 1153 so in my Setlistmaker I type in 0,9,1 for the values of MSB, LSB and PROGRAM (note that MSB is always zero, at least that’s been my experience anyway: Kurzweil Bank Calculator 2.numbers

FWIW I don’t use Camelot (sorry if this is moving off topic but might be helpful to some?) I’ve been using Setlist Maker on my first gen iPad Pro to send program changes to my Forte flawlessly for the past 6 months - I keep the Forte in “Multi” Mode and if I need to play a single patch I create a “Multi” with just that one patch so I don’t need to go back and forth between Program and Multi modes. I have my entire setlist programmed for a gig (easily edited on the fly if there’s an audible called) and just step through the setlist and as the next song comes up it changes my Forte patch and displays any notes, chords, samples to trigger, lyrics, pdf files I have attached to that tune. Pretty slick piece of software and the developer is really responsive to questions, bugs, etc. (no affiliation with them whatsoever).

I use BeatHawk regularly on gigs but just to trigger samples using the on screen pad interface. Works fine for me for and very stable (I run it in background with Setlist Maker app) on a first gen iPad Pro 9.7”

I’ve found that the shelf liners like what you use in your kitchen cabinets make for a good “grippy” surface for the board as well - they are sold at Lowe’s, Home Depot, etc by the roll I think.

Roland Fantom I believe.

dB - just FYI - I just checked the Dynamic theme and it's still doing the same thing as before (blank white screen when going to next page in a post) on both my Mac and iPad. I'm sure the devs will update it eventually but atm it appears to be broken. I'm fine with using the Bravo 6 dark theme now anyway so no biggie at all. Thanks David!

Yeah I prefer the dark theme too … I just tried “Bravo 6” and that one seems to work so I’ll keep that one for a while and see if everything else looks okay. Thanks Dave Bryce for everything you do on here. I didn’t mean to bring this very minor screen issue up as an insult or anything towards you or any of the other admins who are putting their time and efforts into keeping this great place going. It was just an observation and I sincerely apologize if my post was taken otherwise.

Thanks KuruPrionz ... yeah was a weird one that I just lived with because it was really no big deal, just an extra screen refresh going to next pages. Changing to the "Default" theme seems to have solved it for me. Go figure lol ... take care!

Ok so I just checked and it seems that the "Dynamic Theme" on the forum (selected at bottom of the page) is probably causing it. If I change to "Default" it works... I'll just switch to that!

If I'm reading a post on here that has more than one page and I click the "Next Page" button to bring up the following page, what comes up is a blank white screen. If I then "Refresh" that blank white screen that next page comes up and displays correctly. Is this happening with anyone else or is it just me? I use Mac OS and iOS and it happens on my iPad, iPhone and Mac along with any and all browsers I use (Safari, Chrome, Firefox). I might add that I use the "dark mode" for my screen displays (hmmm I need to check that). It's really not a big deal at all but just one small/minor thing but figured I'd ask anyway in case anybody else is seeing it too. Thanks!

Glad to see it finally on iOS, albeit for a monthly/annual fee rather than the one-time charge of the desktop versions. I’ve been holding out upgrading my 1st gen iPad Pro (which runs everything I use today just fine) but this might get me to open my wallet sooner rather than later. I’ll probably wait until the .1 release to make sure they’ve shaken some of the bigger bugs out of it though.

I put a bungee (actually it’s an long thick thing that looks and works like a giant twisty tie made of rubber with a bendy metal core) around the spider arms in the “pointed up” position before I put it in the bag so it all sticks out of the top of the bag, but nothing flails around and is secure.

Hmmmm … good question. I know it can pull tight but never thought about using it like a regular bag off the cart. I just leave it hanging on the cart handle and put my spider Pro Stand in there folded (without any other case/cover on stand) with top of stand sticking out the top of the bag. It is deep enough that I don’t even use the tie down straps on the bag at all as it hangs just fine and is easy to pull the spider out when I get to stage. I also store it in my garage in the bag hanging as well (unless I have my full rig setup in house for practice). I’ll check when I get home and let you know. I’ll try to grab a couple pix as well so you can see what I mean too.

I love the Lasko fans here in Maryland for our outdoor gigs. Low profile and really move the air. Mine fits on my R&R cart along with my 2 boards (88 and 61 key), SSv3, UPS Battery backup, Spider Pro, amp stand. I purchased the side bags for the R& R cart and my spider stand fits perfectly in in on the end vertical pull handle so I don’t need to worry about it falling off or using bungies. Next time I use my cart I’ll snap a pic and post it (I don’t use it for every gig). Here’s a link to the R&R cart bags I’m talking about for the end handles (there’s a lot of space in them and are very strong and durable from my experience with them): ** no affiliation with R&R carts https://rocknrollercart.com/collections/stow-a-ways-transport-solutions/products/handle-bag-with-rigid-bottom-fits-r8-r10-r12

Also, grab some of that spray (sold for tents,etc) that helps keep fabric waterproofed. It’s a cheap insurance to keep the cover as waterproof as possible so less likely to have a water leak/failure when you least expect it just in case. Most big box stores carry a version of it.
