2 Setting Up Your System
You can use MainStage with a wide variety of MIDI controllers
and Core Audio compliant audio devices.
Real-time generation and processing of digital audio requires intensive processing by
your computer. If you plan to work on large or complex projects, using a computer
with a faster processor and extra random-access memory (RAM) installed can facilitate
your productivity. Additional RAM is useful particularly when using a large number of
effects plug-ins and when playing sample-based software instruments. It is
recommended that you do not run other processor- or RAM-intensive applications
simultaneously with MainStage, particularly when performing live.
Using MIDI Devices With MainStage
MainStage works with many USB and MIDI keyboard controllers and with other MIDI
devices such as foot pedals and switches. To work with MainStage, MIDI devices must
send standard MIDI control messages. MainStage receives standard MIDI messages, but
does not send MIDI messages and cannot be used to control external MIDI devices. For
more information about using MIDI devices, see the “Setting Up Your System” chapter
in the Logic Pro 8 User Manual.
Using MIDI Devices That Send Special MIDI Message Types
Certain types of hardware controls such as knobs (rotary controls) and buttons are
capable of sending several types of MIDI messages. When you assign these controls to
MainStage screen controls using the Learn process, MainStage analyzes the incoming
MIDI data to determine which type of message the hardware control is sending. In
order for MainStage to learn these controls correctly, be sure to turn knobs through
their full range of motion and to press buttons exactly three times during the Learn
process.
Some MIDI controllers can send nonstandard or proprietary MIDI messages. MainStage
cannot process or respond to nonstandard MIDI messages, to “registered” or “non-
registered” parameter messages, or to system exclusive (SysEx) messages.
