Mapping Screen Controls to Actions

You can also map screen controls to MainStage-specific actions and to AppleScript

scripts. The Actions folder, which appears in the Parameter Mapping browser along

with available parameters, contains actions for selecting patches and sets, showing the

Tuner, activating tap tempo, Master Mute, or Panic, and others. The Actions folder also

contains an AppleScript subfolder with useful scripts.

You can map button screen controls to actions for selecting different patches and use

physical buttons on your MIDI device to select patches when you perform. You can also

map buttons to actions for selecting different sets or selecting the concert. For

information about assigning buttons, see “Assigning Buttons” on page 77.

To map a screen controls to an action:

1 In the workspace, click the screen control you want to map.

The Screen Control Inspector appears below the Patch List, showing the settings for the

selected screen control. The Actions folder is available in the Parameter Mapping

browser.

2 In the column on the left of the Parameter Mapping browser, click the Actions folder.

The available actions appear in the second column of the browser.

3 Select the action you want to map.

Mapping Screen Controls to All Channel Strips in a Patch

When you map a screen control to a channel strip parameter such as volume or pan,

you can map it to control the same parameter in all the channel strips in the patch. This

is particularly useful when you want to control the overall volume of a layered sound,

even if the different layers are played across multiple keyboards.

To map a screen control to all channel strips in the patch:

1 Map the screen control following the instructions in the preceding sections.

2 In the Screen Control Inspector, select the “Send to all Channel Strips” checkbox.

Click the Actions menu to

see available actions.

Click the action you

want to map from

the submenu.
