John lee - That"s exactly where it is !!! Well spotted

I cannot thank you enough for the time you took to explain this to me. I really appreciate it.

Thank you. This is of course whats happening. The kronos is not passing the midi data through the usb. I am going to investigate midi flow. Just to clarify, I should connect the k and studiologic to the Mac book through USB midi also?

Hello good people. My current rig of choice is a follows. Korg kronos 2 on top. Studiologic sl 88 as a controller operating on midi channel 15 in combination mode on the k. All good so far. The kronos lives in setlist mode. Also working fantastically. I use setlistmaker connected by 5 pin din to the k. The iPad is docked in the alesis IO dock and sends program change messages to the kronos. I use the IO dock as it both powers the iPad and also allows me to use a connected foot peddle to advance through the patches. This all works perfectly and I have approx 300 songs with lyrics and midi patch change all programmed. I love this system. I have now purchased a MacBook Pro and am thinking about using MainStage for additional sounds. I would like to configure the systems that the iPad can SEND changes to MainStage. I can get MainStage to recognise the kronos but not the sl88 ( which is on channel 15) I dont know what setting to use on this timber EXT EXT2 ??? I would also like to use the kronos as the audio midi interface Has anyone done something similar ? I tried a few times today to get everything working but I am having difficulty. Am I mental ??? Connections are a follows: iPad with alesis dock connected to the kronos via 5 pin din SL88 connected to the kronos via USB midi Mac book connect via USB midi/ audio to the kronos

Cheers dr88s. I really dig your rig also. Are you the same as me and lusting after the new krone ?( Kronos really!!!) Try the setlist maker app withy the values I have provided to see if it works well for you. The midi patch change requires an in app purchase but it is very useful. I am gigging tonight and will try the work arounds you all suggested. Thanks guys. G

Cheers another scot. You are indeed correct and cheers for the prompt response. Also found another setting in set list that implys I had to select ' auto midi sequential midi preset selection. Yes dr88s I have the boards configured correctly. When I have that appropriate journey patch selected and I have the korg on ch 2 and ter casio on 1, if I plug the USB into independently into each keyboard then the will select the required patch straight away. It seems like as anotherscott posted, there is a midi protocol disambiguation. I don't keep my live rig at home and so I will check tomorrow pre gig and see if my discovery in the midi settings of set list has changed things. Appreciate the responses guys and if anyone, especially ESCAPE ROCKS cause I reckon he has more or less the same rig and apps as myself, could chime in and let me know if they are running with multiple keyboard patch changes from setlist then please let me know how you are doing this. Cheers guys. G

Hi all. My current set up is this a korg m50 73 on top and my new, absolutely beautiful, casio privia px 5s. Never thought I would say that about a casio and in fact on these forums in the past I have even poured derision on casinos offerings but I digress. I run set list maker with its midi change function. I used to have two m50s and had these midied together as follows. iPad via cck to m50 73 and midi out to in of the other m50 (88) I used the combi bank d. The msb lsb values for this bank are 000 323 The programme number. Eg slot 000 = 000!! I used the ext 2 feature in the combi bank on the m50 73 to initiate the relevant patch changes but never like this because althought when the page turn function on the iPad app did change the patch on the first keyboard, I had to manually select the patch again in the touch screen of the first keyboard in order to send the msb, lsb, and programme change to the second keyboard. ( first world problem I, I know !). Enter the casio. Through the casio forums I easily obtained the msb lsb values to select the individual stage settings. These are as follows 112, 036 and again the corresponding stage setting value. Setting 0-0 is again 00 Only when I got the casio did I have access to a midi tru so I decided to used this and try again with the ' one touch changes all' approach with the set list app. I set up a new set list maker song, it happened to be 'don't stop believing', I have both my patches ready and check each one individually with the iPad plugged via the cck into each individual keyboard. I set the casio to midi channel 1 and the korg to 2.( default since the previous setup). To be clearer I have the casio set on my stage setting 00 ( chorus cp80) 122 - 36 00. Directly connected the app changes the stage setting. I have the korg set on my combi bank d 012 ( don't stop synth patch) 000 - 323 - 012. Directly connected the app changes the combi correctly. I assumed that if I connected the setup as follows that the ' one touch changes all' should Work. iPad via cck to casio. Casio midi tru to korg. As you may have guessed and by the length of my post, it didn't. I also tried iPad to casio and midi out to korg but nothing also. When I say nothing I mean that when I select the 'dont stop patch' the keyboard connected first in the chain does bank patch select but the other keyboard seems to be losing the midi singnal somewhere in the chain. Any advice on what I am doing wrong or is there a work around. . Thanks in advise for any input.
