6 Working in Edit Mode

In Edit mode, you create patches with your custom sounds,

map screen controls, and work with patches and sets in the

Patch List.

You can create your custom collection of patches in Edit mode, and organize them in

the Patch List so that you can easily access them in performance.

Working With Patches in Edit Mode

Patches are the individual sounds you play using your keyboard controller (for MIDI

keyboardists) and the effects setups you use with your instrument or microphone

(for guitarists, vocalists, and other instrumentalists). MainStage patches can contain

multiple channel strips, each with a different instrument or effects setup.

Some basic patch operations, including selecting and playing patches, adding new

patches, and naming patches are described in “Getting Started With MainStage” on

page 23.

Selecting Items in the Patch List

All of the patches and sets in a concert appear in the Patch List, located to the left of

the workspace. To select an item in the Patch List in Edit mode, you can click the item

or use key commands.
