Hi, see http://www.expert-sleepers.co.uk/augustusscripts/index_files/7befcc333b85e9bab664f68b8a0b0544-1.html and http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=235544 for starters. Possibly you can do something cunning with automation of Mainstage itself, but I've never used it myself so can't advise. cheers, os. 2009/1/28 Sjaak <tcplugin@scarlet.be>: > I've made the decision to move to a laptop setup, mainly to get rid of >the huge and heavy synthesizers, 19" racks and make it "transportable" in >stead of "moveable" if you know what I mean.
