Learning Controller Assignments
You make connections between your hardware MIDI devices
and a MainStage concert by learning controller assignments.
A MainStage concert contains information about which knobs, sliders, and other controls
on your MIDI hardware devices control the screen controls in the workspace.You make
connections between your MIDI hardware and the concert by assigning hardware
controls to the screen controls in the workspace. You only need to make controller
assignments once for a concert as long as you are using the same music hardware.
MainStage recognizes many popular MIDI devices and automatically assigns some
screen controls to hardware controls it recognizes. For many popular keyboard
controllers, the pitch bend and mod wheels and the sustain pedal will work without
any further conguration. For other controls, you need to learn controller assignments
before you can use them to manipulate the screen controls in your MainStage concert.
