Changing the Tempo When You Select a Patch

You can give a patch its own tempo setting so that when you select the patch, the tempo
changes to the patch tempo setting. MainStage uses the new tempo until you select
another patch or set with its own tempo setting, tap a new tempo, or until MainStage
receives tempo information from incoming MIDI messages. For more information about
using and changing tempo in MainStage, see

Setting Patch Program Change Numbers

(the lowest available number between 0 and 127) until all available program change
numbers are taken. You can select patches using program change numbers when

You can change the program change number in the Patch Inspector.
