Working with Channel Strips in Edit Mode
Channel strips are the building blocks of your patches. They contain the instruments and
effects for the sounds you use in performance. MainStage channel strips use the channel
strip interface familiar from Logic Pro. MainStage channel strips have the same structure
and many of the same functions as Logic Pro channel strips. The main features of
MainStage channel strips are shown below:

Mute and solo buttons
Insert slots

Volume fader and
level meter
In MainStage, you can use audio, software instrument, and auxiliary (aux) channel strips
in your patches and sets, and also at the concert level. You can also use external instrument
patches to “play” external hardware devices and ReWire applications. You can use channel
strips in MainStage just as you can in Logic Pro. You can adjust the volume level using
the Volume fader, adjust the pan position using the Pan knob, and mute or solo the
channel strip using the Mute and Solo buttons.
