OnStage Setup
So with a bit of time on our hands, I'd like to recap on the Logic Pro setups we've been using on stage.
Last year with Doves we used two duplicate G4 laptops, with a unique set of EXS samplers and other virtual instruments for each number in the bands set-list.
This was done by closing and opening a new Logic Pro Project for each song, utilising the shared RAM to speed the loading of large multi-sample instruments.
Closing and opening each Project on both the main and backup G4 would take valuable seconds between songs, so we had a look at trying to automate the process.
After a bit of Cocoa reading, we discovered that a simple Apple script could be triggered via a Midi (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) Program Change message sent from any standard Midi hardware....
