58 Chapter 6 Working in Edit Mode

A message appears in the Channel Strip Inspector asking if you want to override the

concert- or set-level key ranges. (The text indicates whether the key ranges are at the

concert level, the set level, or both levels.)

3 Select the checkbox next to the message.

Setting the Velocity Range and Offset

By default, the velocity of a channel strip extends from 1 to 127. You can limit the

velocity range so that the channel strip only responds when the notes you play on your

controller fall between the Min and Max values of the velocity range.

To set the velocity range for a channel strip:

1 Set the minimum velocity that triggers the channel strip using the Velocity Min value

slider.

2 Set the maximum velocity that triggers the channel strip using the Velocity Max value

slider.

A velocity offset means that when you play a note at a certain velocity, the channel

strip responds as if the velocity is higher or lower, by the value of the offset. If you have

a velocity offset for the channel strip, the velocity of keys you play on your controller is

shifted by the amount of the offset value (up for positive offset values, down for

negative ones).

To set a velocity offset for a channel strip, do one of the following:

m Drag the Velocity Offset value slider

m Double-click the Velocity Offset value slider and type an offset value.

Creating Controller Transforms

You can graphically remap (or transform) the values for some MIDI control messages so

that input values from your controller produce different output values for the channel

strip. A common use of the transform is for expression scaling, where input MIDI

expression values are mapped to different output values on a graphic curve. In

MainStage, you can transform values for expression and also for modulation, MIDI

volume, and breath control messages.

Click the checkbox to

override key ranges of

channel strips at the

concert or set level.
