I'm interested that Per seems to not have a problem using Mainstage, saying it "just works", but Sjaak can't use it live because of midi crashes. I gave up on Mainstage a while ago because of this crashing issue: It would suddenly say something like 'unsupported midi input detected'. Can't remember the exact message. There was a lot of discussion of this on the SL forum, with no-one, as far as I know, really finding an answer. Maybe this has changed now, and I'd certainly be interested in using Mainstage instead of the full Logic 8 for certain things. Per - do you ever get the crashing midi issue? I seem to remember that you were part of the SL forum discussion.
