Share patches and sets

Share patches and sets between concerts

You can export patches and sets from a concert and import them into another concert. When you import a set, all the patches in the set are imported.

Export a patch

Do one of the following:

  • Drag the patch from the Patch List to the Finder.

    The patch appears as a .patch file in the Finder.

  • Select the patch, choose Save as Patch from the Action pop-up menu in the Patch List, then click Save.

    The patch is exported to the ~/Music/Patches folder.

Export a set

Do one of the following:

  • Drag the set from the Patch List to the Finder.

    The set appears as a .patch file in the Finder.

  • Select the set, choose Save as Set from the Action pop-up menu in the Patch List, then click Save.

    The set is exported to the MainStage Patches folder.

Note: You can also export an entire concert as a set by selecting the concert and choosing Export Set from the Action pop-up menu.

You can export multiple patches or sets. When you export multiple patches by dragging them to the Finder, each patch is exported as a .patch file. When you select multiple patches and export them using the Export Patch command, the patches are grouped into a single exported set. You can import patches or sets from the Finder to another open concert.

  • In Edit mode, drag the patch or set from the Finder to the Patch List.
