7 Working in Layout Mode

You visually arrange your onscreen layout and make

connections between your music hardware and MainStage

in Layout mode.

You can’t change the position of faders, knobs, and other controls on your instruments

or other music hardware, but you can arrange the screen controls in your MainStage

concert in any order you like by editing the layout. You can modify an existing layout or

create one from a template, and you can export a layout and import it into another

concert.

Each concert template included with MainStage includes a built-in layout, optimized

for a type of musical instrument, genre, or purpose.

You modify the layout of a concert in Layout mode. You can add and organize screen

controls to match your music hardware, optimize your display size, and make

assignments between controls on your MIDI hardware and the screen controls in your

concert.

To switch to Layout mode, do one of the following:

m Choose View > Layout (or press Command-1).

m Click the Layout button in the Toolbar.

The MainStage window switches to Layout mode.

In Layout mode, the workspace features a grid to help you align and organize screen

controls. Below the workspace, the Panel Controls and Shelf Controls palettes appear,

with different types of screen controls you can add to your layout. The Layout Inspector

appears to the left of the workspace, where you can make controller assignments and

edit layout parameters.
