I’m a long-term mainstage user. I just purchased the MoDX 8. This set up opens up a whole new world for my rig. Thanks so much for sharing and being so thorough in your instruction! Keep up the good work!!
same here. i'm using mainstage and just ordered the modx7. still waiting for it. so, does this mean we can use the modx with mainstage live and switch between mainstage sounds and modx sounds in real time?
I got my MODX and now I understand :) So, it's pretty cool, but the thing is I can't assign MODX's faders to control the faders in MAINSTAGE and no buttons to control NEXT PATCH or PREVIOUS PATCH. I can assign the Super Knob and the other 4 knobs, but that's not enough. Not even the Master Volume...Did anyone figure it out?
Hello Irvin! Your video is so instructive, but I've realized that would exist a problem. If you are playing live and the Mainstage crashes, the MODX will not be able to send any audio from Mainstage (obviously) but most important is that it won't be able to send any audio from the MODX itself! That could be a very big problem if you want to have the MODX like a lifejacket to directly make any sound if the Mac turns off or some other things... Do you know or does anybody know any other configuration to solve that kind of problem? Thanks!
Thanks for the great video. This has been very helpful. My keyboard rig includes the following: keylab88, , MacBook Pro running main stage 3. I’m trying to set up my keyboard as follows....but of course I’m having some difficulty. I would like to get the key lab to simply play performances on the modx and also have the modx available to play other perfomances while all being controlled via mainstage. A typical mainstage setup for me will include 4 or 5 “Playback” tracks of audio and two channel strips for live playing. I was previously running two controllers triggering internal mainstage sounds or virtual sounds. Now I would like basically the same thing but instead of using internal sounds, using performances with the modx for sounds. Is this even possible....and if so could I please ask you for a video showing the setup, or at least a reply . Thank you in advance. G
Hey Irvin - I've been trying to troubleshoot for awhile today and can't seem to get any sound to come out. Hoping you can help! I can see in the midi section of Mainstage that I am getting signal but just can't get any signal to come out when I switch it from playing the local sounds on the MODX8 to sounds through MainStage. Any thoughts?
Hello sir, i am just having a little bit of a problem.. So i did everything you did on this video last night and all was great, but then this morning when i went to turn on my Macbook and my piano, I went to quick set up and changed it from standalone to Mainstage. The problem is that Every time i play, the volume only comes out of the macbook instead of my speaker. But when i switch it to “standalone, the sounds come out of my speaker as it should! I am trying to figure out how to get my speaker to work with the Mainstage just like Yesterday. Please help 🙏
Thank you for your help! I'm trying to assign volume to the physical volume knob on my keyboard, but Mainstage isn't recognizing it (it does recognize the other knobs and faders on the keyboard, just not master volume, USB volume, or gain). Do you have any idea why that might be happening?
Thanks so much for sharing this video. Is it possible to run both audio and MIDI simultaneously? For example, I don't care too much for MainStage piano sounds and prefer to use those of the MODX, but I also like the pads and synths I created on MainStage and would like to layer those over a piano. If I add an external instrument channel strip on MainStage, will I be able to get the MODX audio to layer with my MIDi channels or will that cause feedback? I hope my question is clear enough.
Thank you. I was wondering since there is no numeric pad how do you call up on mainstage via the modx? Let’s say I want to skip around and call random patches up via the keyboard to trigger mainstage sounds . Thx
mister088 Hi. I have absolutely no idea of this is possible I’m afraid. Mainstage is very much designed to use patches in a designated order, so you use the software to control the hardware, rather than the other way around.
Please i need to know if is it possible transfer usb audio from the modx to the LOGIC because the modx it’s not a really work station Thank’s a lot answering me
Is that possible to change patches on mainstage with Modx.I can change patches on mainstage with Mofif Xs7 1-16 voice buttons..but I can’t change patches on MainStage with Modx why.?
Question- i'm modx7 user. Modx connent is not change to online. I downloaded 1.10 update and change already. Usb drivers also . Jut connect is always offline. My com is not apple but win10
Hello, I have a weird issue with my MODX7. I connected my MODX to my Macbook only to receive Midi Commands to change sets, not for using the MODX audio interface. However after a few minutes of playing I am getting problems with instruments, that have a delay effect inserted. It seems, as if this effect doesn't work properly after 5 to 10 minutes. I recorded this issue and uploaded it to Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/malte-eiffler-1/delay-problem This problem does not appear, when the MODX is not connected to my MacBook. The problem is also gone, when I restart the MODX. Can you help? Thank you
This is a great tutorial. Those who knows what the value of this tip, shall praise this man!

More really useful videos like this please Irvin! The modx in the real world... thanks!
Great informative video!! This is EXACTLY how I want to use mine! Thanks a bunch! More instructional videos please! 😁👍🏾
Are you on Facebook?
Ordered the MoDX7 yesterday. It also has room for a laptop or Ipad to secure with velcro.
Thank you sir. Very helpful. 👏🏾
Great video. Although for the life of me I can’t get the MODX to work as an audio interface. Suspect driver issues on the Mac.
Bruh.... I need a hearing aid to hear this... but it was helpful LOL

Could you solve it?
?
Will you please guide me .. I do and I hope exactly the same thing. But programme can't change from the keys
Do you have studio monitors or headphones plugged into the modx to hear the audio when you're using the Yamaha Steinberg driver?
useful!

Sabas Yagüe you need a USB Host Cable to connect from the mac book to the USB Host Slot on the MODX

Tommy Ryan yes that should be possible, just as you say.

Can you explain how does the modx8 work with logic please?

Logic pro x?

Do I need an interface ?
Shouldn’t do, the MODX is the interface
@@IrvinDuguid thanks, and what about a montage 8?
@@jacobclemente3813 no idea, sorry!
@@jacobclemente3813 montage 8 has its own audio interface just like all other montage ;) a quick google will tell u too
