Apple MainStage 2 - Manual (Page 23)

• Inspectors: Inspectors appear below (in Edit mode) or along the left side of the MainStage
window (in Layout mode) when you select different items onscreen. The Inspectors
allow you to edit parameters and attributes for patches, sets, screen controls, channel
strips, and the concert. Most Inspectors feature tabs that make it easy to quickly access
the parameters you want to edit.
To make working easier, MainStage features four different modes, each suited to a different
task. You audition, edit, and organize your sounds and map screen controls in Edit mode.
You customize the visual arrangement of controls onscreen and make controller
assignments in Layout mode. You use either Perform mode or Full Screen mode when
you perform live.
Layout Mode
Layout mode is where you customize your onscreen layout and make connections between
your MIDI hardware and the screen controls in your concert. You drag screen controls
into the workspace and arrange them onscreen to customize your layout, then create
connections (called controller assignments) between your MIDI hardware and the screen
controls.
In the Screen Control Inspector, you can edit layout parameters to customize hardware
assignments and modify the visual look of the screen controls in your concert.
