Hopefully this question makes sense. I'm wondering what the best way is to integrate multiple patches into a live show? I'm performing live using mainstage and in addition I plan to use different Max patches for different songs. I'm assuming Max doesn't accept program change messages to load new patches? Am I left to manually open and close patches as I move through the set? Is there a streamlined way to have a list of patches ready to load, without just resorting to clicking in the Finder?

Max happily accepts program changes. They're input through midiin or pgmin, and show up as a program change/midi channel pair, meaning that you have to insert the actions you want them to do.

the bpatcher object can let you dynamically load a patch, and so can the thispatcher object.

given these two sets of facts one might find several ways to connect them using max logic.

Thanks for the info! Sounds like I will be able to find a solution with these objects!
