Getting Started With MainStage
You can quickly start working in MainStage by choosing a
concert template and trying out the patches in the concert.
This chapter provides a guided “walkthrough” you can follow
the first time you open MainStage.
Before You Begin
Before you start working in MainStage, you should connect the hardware equipment
that you plan to use, such as your keyboard controller, audio interface, instruments, or
microphones, to your computer. To use keyboard controllers and other MIDI devices
with MainStage, the devices should be capable of sending standard MIDI messages. If
you’re not sure whether this is the case for a particular device, consult the owner’s
manual or the product website. For more information, see “
Choosing a Concert Template
MainStage includes templates for different musical instruments, styles, and uses. You
can choose a concert template in the Choose Template dialog, which appears the first
time you open MainStage and each time you create a new concert.
