I had a blog reader write me this week asking if it's possible to create a multi-channel patch in Mainstage. Here’s how to do just that:

1. Open Mainstage. Select your concert template. 

2. Select a patch you want to use for a multi-channel instrument. I’m going to use the basic rhodes piano sound. 

3. Click the “+” button on the right hand side of the Channel Strips window.

4. Select “Instrument” from the drop down menu, then click okay.

5. In the Instrument Channel Strip Inspector, select a patch you’d like to use for your newly added channel strip.

6. Adjust the levels as desired, and you’re good to go!
