On your MIDI device, move the control you want to assign. Move faders and knobs through
their full range of motion, and press buttons exactly three times (not too quickly) to
enable MainStage to correctly learn the MIDI message types sent by these controls.
The values in the Hardware Assignment pop-up menus change to reflect the type of
hardware control learned by the screen control. While the assignment is being learned,
incoming MIDI messages appear in the Activity Monitor above the workspace.
After the assignment is learned, the screen control responds when you move the
corresponding hardware control. This shows that the screen control is receiving MIDI
input and is correctly assigned.

While the Learn process is active, you can learn additional controller assignments by
selecting another screen control and moving the hardware control you want to assign
to it. You can learn as many assignments as you wish while the Learn button remains red.

When you are finished assigning controls, click the Learn button (or press Command-L)
again to turn off the Learn process.
