Hi,

Maybe you can assign a MIDI channel to the Keyboard Object? Generally
MainStage doesn't react to external MIDI at all unless you assign it
to a Screen Control Object. The exception from this rule being the the
Keyboard Object because it is the base for virtual instruments.

I just closed my MS lappy so I can't check out for now. You query
makes me curious so I'll look tomorrow. If I remember to ;-))
