Remove screencontrol mappings in MainStage
If you want a screen control to be free of any mappings, you can remove its existing
mapping. This can be useful with controls that pass through MIDI messages (for example,
for pitch bend and modulation wheels, or expression pedals) when you do not want them
to send MIDI messages for their pass-through control type. You do not need to remove the
mapping for a screen control when you remap it.
Reset the mapping for a screen control
1. In the MainStage workspace, click the screen control you want to map.
2. In the column on the left of the Parameter Mapping browser, click None.
Work with graphs in MainStage
Each parameter mapping has a Parameter graph. You can edit the graph to remap input
values to different output values for the parameter. Using graphs, you can graphically
remap the values for some MIDI control messages so that input values from your controller
produce different output values for the channel strip or plug-in parameter. Graphs make it
easier to see and modify a range of values for a parameter, such as velocity or filter cutoff.
You can use graphs for the following types of parameters:
• Controller transforms
• Velocity scaling (both input velocity and note input)
• Parameters to which a screen control is mapped
You open a graph window by clicking the button for that type of graph in the appropriate
Inspector. The Transform and Velocity Scaling graphs for the selected channel strip are
available in the MIDI Input tab of the Channel Strip Inspector. The Parameter graph for the
selected screen control is available in the tab for the individual mapping, as well as in the
Mappings tab in the (Editmode) ScreenControl Inspector.
The graph shows the range of input values on the horizontal (x) axis, moving from left to
right, and shows the range of output values on the vertical (y) axis, moving from bottom to
top.
In the graph window, you have several ways of working. You can edit the graph curve
directly, edit values numerically using the Precision Editor, or use the Curve buttons to set
the graph to one of the predefined curves.
