Setlist workarounds?

[pauliusmm]

For an upcoming show i need about 20 presets with 3 scenes each.

Im trying to find a way to switch songs(presets) using a computer and switch scenes using Fm3.
How can i do this?
Fm3 does not allow midi over USB right? So i need usb -midi adapter?
What Mac software is best to make a setlist and send midi Program change to FM3?

You can feasibly use logic to go between each preset by sending program changes via a USB cable.

Is there a reason why you can't just use a separate view dedicated to going up/down presets?

I messed with it on my iPhone a while back with Yamaha wireless midi adapter.

Been a while but guessing it still works.

Mainstage is a great on-stage app when you have a Mac, and it can arrange setlists of songs, each sending a program change. Easier to setup than Logic.

If the show order is reasonably set ahead of time, I’d just copy all the presets to empty banks in sequential order.

Incoming midi over USB is supported.

That's what I do.

Does this mean i can send PC messages from Ableton to FM3?
I can't see FM3 as a midi device in Ableton.

Actually, I might be mistaken for FM3... I was thinking about the Axe Fx III.
