“In the Ellie Goulding live show every member of the band plays either keyboards or sample pads or both, so there is a lot of MIDI coming from the stage at any one time...I have two systems offstage receiving this MIDI via the MIDI Solutions M8—one running Mainstage, which handles the keyboards, and one running Ableton Live to handle the drum triggers, sample pads and track.
