Apple MainStage 2 - Manual (Page 25)

• Inspector (varies depending on the type of item selected): View and edit parameters for
the currently selected patch, channel strip, screen control, set, or for the concert. The
name of the Inspector changes to identify the type of item you are currently inspecting.
• Channel Strips area: View and edit the channel strips in your patches or at the concert
or set level. Channel strips appear in a vertical format similar to Logic Pro channel strips,
with many of the same controls. You can also add channel strips and save channel strip
settings.
To learn what you can do in Edit mode, see Working in Edit Mode and Working with
Concerts .
The remaining two modes, Perform mode and Full Screen mode, are both optimized for
performing live. You can use either one when you perform.
Perform Mode
In Perform mode, the workspace fills the entire MainStage window. The toolbar is visible
so that you can switch modes using the Mode buttons, use the Panic or Master Mute
buttons and the Tuner, and view CPU and memory levels and MIDI input in the Activity
Monitor. The browsers and Inspectors are hidden to maximize the size of the workspace,
making screen controls larger and easier to read in onstage situations. You can still access
the Finder and switch to other applications in Perform mode but cannot open plug-in
windows.
