Apple MainStage 2 - Manual (Page 169)

In addition to mapping screen controls to channel strip and plug-in parameters, you can
map them to MainStage actions. Actions let you select patches and sets, silence MIDI
notes, control the Tuner and the metronome, tap a new tempo, display information about
patches, MIDI messages and other information, and perform other functions using screen
controls.
The Actions folder, which appears in the Parameter Mapping browser along with available
parameters, contains actions for a variety of MainStage functions. The Actions folder also
contains an AppleScript subfolder with useful scripts. The following table describes each
action and the type of screen control to map it to.
For information about mapping screen controls to actions, see Mapping Screen Controls
to Actions .
This appendix covers the following:
