You can add custom grouped controls to the Screen Controls palette, and use them in
the same concert or another concert. Grouped screen controls you add to the palette
appear in the My Grouped Controls tab.
To add a grouped control to the Screen Controls palette
Do one of the following:
µ
Control-click the grouped control, then choose Add to Palette from the shortcut menu.
µ
Select the grouped control, then choose Add to Palette from the Action menu at the
upper-right corner of the workspace.
After you add the first grouped control to the Screen Controls palette, the
My Grouped Controls tab appears. Select this tab (or the All tab) to see the custom grouped
controls you have added to the Screen Controls palette.
Deleting Screen Controls
If you decide you no longer want a screen control in your layout, you can delete it from
the workspace.
To delete a screen control
1 Select the screen control you want to delete.
2 Choose Edit > Delete (or press the Delete key).
When you delete a screen control, any assignments or mappings for the screen control
are deleted as well.
Assigning Hardware Controls to Screen Controls
To use MainStage with a MIDI controller, you assign hardware controls on the controller
(such as faders, knobs, buttons, drum pads, and pedals) to screen controls in the
workspace. After you assign a hardware control to a screen control, the screen control
receives the MIDI messages from the hardware control. You only need to make controller
assignments once for a concert as long as you use it with the same hardware.
You assign hardware controls to screen controls using the Learn process, which is similar
to the process for learning controller assignments for a control surface in Logic Pro. The
Learn process is described in Learning a Controller Assignment.
