MainStage 3 Horn section silence
Hi,
When using MainStage 3.3.1 on my MacBookPro 2015, El Capitan, with Studio Horns (Logic legacy) or Horn Section (GarageBand legacy) the sound after a few minutes will stop. All other sounds work without any problems but I need to restart MainStage to recover the horn sounds.
I am desperate and exhausted and need to fix this soon - any help or tips appreciated!

Re: MainStage 3 Horn section silence
Hi,
This has nothing to do with Nord and is related to Mainstage itself.
But maybe someone else has an idea about this.
Good luck!

Re: MainStage 3 Horn section silence
I tried to duplicate your problem and it worked fine. I did notice that the horns are not looped and will cutoff after about 5 seconds. But they still played after re triggering the notes. Good luck.

Re: MainStage 3 Horn section silence
On one specific concert or on any concert, including an Initialized one (blank)?
Try to delete the patch/channel strip of the Horns, then save and add them again. Check also that you are not sending all MIDI CCs to channel strips, (uncheck the option in the Concert levrl MIDI settings tab) which sometimes may cause unexpected behaviours and in general does not allow you to control what to send and what not.
