Preset changes via Midi

[Thorsten Nathan]

Hi,

is there a way to change the presets with an external midi device?

Especially for live concerts it would be nice too change a few settings (like light, video, mixer, keyboard presets, SD3 presets…) with just one midi command!! So you don‘t even have to look at your screen and think about changing the preset.
There are solutions in all other areas (light, mixer, …). Is there a way in SD3 too?

Hi Thorsten,

as far as I know there is no possibility of changing setups via MIDI. I did a lot of research because I also wanted to use SD3 live on stage. There are some possibilities using other programs to control all this, depends on which platform you’re Mac or Windows.

MAC: Mainstage, Live Professor, Gig Performer, or any kind of DAW like Reaper, Ableton, Logic etc.

windows: Bloxpander (really worth to take a look at) and other DAWs like those above

The biggest Problem will be the Performance of your Computer (RAM). Most of the Programs load the different instances (Sets) into the RAM to give you the ability to change between the different sets quite quickly. Few RAM means few Sets, big RAM means a lot of sets. There are so many things to consider in the world of using VST in a Livesituation . . . . .

Hi derilja,

 

danke für deine Antwort. Ja, auf deutsch fällt es auch mir deutlich leichter.
ich würde dir gern meinen Usecase schildern. Vielleicht hast du ja einen Tipp für mich. Allerdings möchte ich dieses Forum hier nicht mit unserem deutschen Geschwafel überstrapazieren. 😉 Wo könnte ich dich anschreiben? PM gibt es hier leider nicht?

Liebe Grüße
