Apple MainStage 2 - Manual (Page 120)

Note: If the Device parameter for a drum pad screen control is set to All, the MIDI note
that triggers the drum pad (set in the Note value slider) is not sent to any keyboard
screen controls in the patch, and so does not produce sound from any software
instrument plug-ins “played” using those keyboard screen controls.
• Channel pop-up menu: Choose the MIDI channel on which MainStage receives input
from the controller.
• Note value slider: Change the MIDI note for the drum pad to a different value than the
learned value.
Appearance
• Color selector: Choose the color for the active part of the screen control, so that you
can easily see when the drum pad is pressed.
Text Labels
• Color selector: Choose the color for the active part of the text label.
• Justification buttons: Click to set the text justification (left, center, or right).
• Display pop-up menu: Choose what information is displayed in the text display area
and how many lines are used to display text.

text in the field to display it on the top line of the control’s text display.

You can use waveform screen controls to display the audio waveform of the audio file
for a Playback plug-in. You can edit the Color and Hide Ruler parameters for waveform
screen controls.
