Map a screen control using the Parameter Mapping browser
1. In the MainStage workspace, click the screen control you want to map.
The screen control is highlighted in blue. The ScreenControl Inspector appears
below the workspace, showing the parameters for the selected screen control. The
ScreenControl Inspector includes General and Mapping tabs as well as a tab labeled
“Unmapped.”
2. In the ScreenControl Inspector, click the Unmapped tab.
The Parameter Mapping browser appears, showing the channel strips and plug-ins
available for mapping as well as the Actions folder.
3. In the column on the left of the Parameter Mapping browser, select the channel strip
with the parameter to which you want to map the screen control.
Parameters for the selected channel strip appear in the columns on the right. Additional
folders for the instruments and effects in the channel strip may appear in these
columns. Click a folder to see the parameters for that instrument or effect.
4. Select the parameter you want to map.
The screen control is mapped to the selected parameter, and the Unmapped tab takes
the name of the parameter. You can continue mapping additional screen controls by
clicking them in the workspace and then choosing parameters in the Parameter Mapping
browser. Using the Parameter Mapping browser, you can map parameters that are not
visible in plug-in windows.
You can also map screen controls to MainStage actions and to AppleScript scripts. For
more information, see Map MainStage screencontrols to actions.
Note: If you change the channel strip setting for a channel strip to which you have mapped
screen controls, you lose any parameter mappings.
You can also edit velocity sensitivity for a channel strip, create controller transforms, and
filter various MIDI messages. For information about editing channel strips, see Overview of
the MainStage Channel Strip Inspector.
