![]() I also use the sample player to trigger samples from the beginning of PInk Floyd’s “Money”, which I control from a hardware button on the MOXF, then fade out as our bass player comes in, using a hardware slider on the MOXF. My MOXF becomes a controller with various sounds across the manual: MOXF, MX49, EX24, ES2, B3, Retro Synth, etc. Mainstage allows me to play MX49 sounds on specific keys on the MOXF - and vice versa. Each performance I call up on MainStage sets up splits, patches, effects, and the sounds on my MOXF and the MX49 (which is also in the rig as a secondary manual and safety in case the MOXF fails). MainStage stores all my band’s 120+ song catalog, which I’ve arranged into genres instead of setlists, since we change up the song order during sets. I also have a 3rd party harmonica library and fiddle library which I use for country tunes, doing weird splits and left-right duplicate splits like Spectrasonics uses in Trillian). While I use the MOXF for most of the sounds in my rig, Mainstage adds organ (B3 and the leslie), various ES2 and RetroSynth patches, EXS24 for custom samples (like the vocal bass part in Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk”, which I created in Logic using about 8 tracks of my vocals pitched down. I run it on a tiny Air with 4GB RAM and have had no issues. As a keyboard player, I use it as an enhancement to my Yamaha MOXF6.
