Update: tried with Microsoft Edge and got a security advice, by-passed it and finally could download the files. Was not working on Chrome

Thanx for the information. I fixed the Download link for chrome.

Hi, MSB and LSB works, but the highest program I can select is E:55. Above is not working (for example PC107, MSB 0, LSB 2 should switch me to O23, but it doesn't. Using Mainstage by the way.

Did you send it in that order? Usually, it should be MSB, LSB, PC as far as I know. The PC you send will always be selected within the current bank (defined by MSB and LSB) - won't work if you set LSB only after PC.

If you only want to send program numbers, you could leave out the MSB=0 as it's always the same. But it's not a bad idea to set it anyway - so it's under all circumstances (manually having been in live or song mode before) the correct address.

Ensure Mainstage is actually sending also MSB/LSB and not only the PC. Take a look also at this app for converting NS3 Programs to the right combination https://www.schroederonline.de/midimapper

Thanks for your replies. I can send the codes that switch program numbers both in Programm mode and in Song mode. So all is working fine, but limited to E:55 as the highest program number.

Do you have the CtrlChange receiving enabled on your NS3 (in the MIDI menu)? If not, MSB and LSB will not be received and that explains why you stop at E55 = PC 125/LSB=0

Yes, both CC and PC are on Receive.

Then I suggest again to check with a MIDI Monitor like https://www.snoize.com/midimonitor/ that Mainstage is really sending all data and in the right order (MSB, LSB then PC).

Check also that you have "Sending Bank Select" enabled in the Mainstage External channel strip related to NS3

Hi Maxpiano,

Thanks. And Yes, I have Send Program change on and Send Bank Select On. And it is working, I can switch between programm mode and song mode.
However, E55 is the very max I can select with PC 124, Bank OFF, 000. So, no option to select F11 and further. Whatever I tried, nothing works.

Thanks,
Marco
