The unit only has a MIDI out jack, so it can't be a problem, at least from the A88, or the other two keyboards, for that matter. Forget what I said about MIDI feedback loops.

Since you are the successor to Roland (who may not be with us much longer) its up to APPLE to FIX THIS PROBLEM! The reason I invested in an Apple system was the hardware, software and OS all written by the same company and there is nobody to pass the buck to!

In checking the knowledge base, I see that this has been an on going problem with MAINSTAGE since 2009! Not only with Roland products but Casio, Korg M Audio and software products Guitar Rig, Kontakt and Arturia.and more? It would seem that the A88 is the culprit but it worked flawlessly with not one problem with my PC based Kore2 64bit system! Its unfortunate that such a HIGH QUALITY company like Roland that darn near wrote the midi standard has financial problems and I don't know if they have the resources to do much about fixing this. When I unplugged the midi cable to the A88 all of the zones, layers, sounds switched quickly and sounded properly! I also am running a Logidy UMI3 USB (3 foots witches & 1 Expression pedal input) which I have controlling the master volume of MS 3 and the footswitches control my leslie functions and is working well in MS 3. I started a new song/preset and loaded in Ivory 2 to the A88 and now it is locked in and no matter what I select the Ivory 2 piano is all the A88 will play! I went in to finded and deleted that song/patch named 'piano' and it still plays! I have re-initialized the A88 several times and went into setup and shut off all midi channels to and from the A88 to prevent inadvertent messages from being sent, I don t know what else to do? I have the Roland EV-5 and Roland Sustain pedal programmed and working in MS3. As soon a I could I hooked up my favorite controller my A88 AND MS 3 HAS GONE BESERK! When I try to change songs/ presets within a set MS 3 screen changes but no output or sound most of the time? When something does play, controller assignments switch,sometime the sound comes in very slowly and it takes a minute or so for all zones to be loaded? Volumes that are set in one song/preset stick and don't change to the proper value for the next song/patch. I was able to program 10 songs within MS 3 which switched quickly and all sounds playing properly. The TMK is a bare bones midi controller with a sustain jack only and receives on Midi channel 1 only. In setting up my new Apple/MS 3 system the A88 was being used elsewhere I substituted a second TMK 88 for the bottom manual. Other than sustain, volume and expression all midi commands are given by MS 3 and the A88 is 1 of 3 obedient slaves. The A88 is set to upper mode so it is a 88 key controller that defaults to midi channel one. I use 3 Masters Fatar VMK 88, Fatar TMK88 and a Roland A88.

I recently purchased a Mac mini I7 Quad core with 16 gigs ram and after 10 years from JL Cooper Synapse and ended up with NI Kore 2 64Bit and was able to program two sets (15 songs each) which worked for awhile but since support was discontinued by NI and midi marches on and keeps evolving I ended up with Mainstage 3.
