Apple MainStage 2 - Manual (Page 75)

If you frequently map screen controls to multiple parameters, you can speed your workflow
by assigning key commands to select the previous and next tab or to select a specific tab
in the Screen Control Inspector. For information about assigning key commands, see
Using the Command Editor .
To view all mappings for a screen control
µ
In the Screen Control Inspector, select the Mappings tab.
The mappings appear in a list view that shows the minimum and maximum range values
and patch change behavior for each mapping and includes buttons to open the Parameter
graph and Invert graph values for each mapping.
If you create multiple mappings for a screen control, you can define the relationships
between the first mapping and subsequent mappings. This can be especially useful when,
for example, you are mapping the same control to filter cutoff and filter resonance, and
you want to ensure that resonance does not exceed a certain maximum value as you
increase the cutoff value. The default relationship affects all future mappings (for the
same and other screen controls), but does not affect existing mappings. The default is
set to Scale the first time you open MainStage.
To define the default relationship between the first mapping and subsequent mappings
1 Select a screen control you want to map to multiple parameters.
2 Choose “Default Relation to First Mapping” from the Action menu, located in the
upper-right corner of the Screen Control Inspector.
3 Do one of the following:
• To set subsequent mappings to be offset by a fixed value from the first mapping, choose
Offset.
• To set subsequent mappings to scale by a constant ratio, starting from the same
minimum value, choose Scale.
• To set subsequent mappings to scale by a constant ratio to the point defined for the
mapping, starting from both the same minimum value and maximum value, choose
Pivot.
Using Parameter Mapping Graphs
Each parameter mapping has a Parameter graph. You can edit the graph to remap input
values to different output values for the parameter.
To open the Parameter graph for a mapping
µ
In the tab for the mapping or in the Mappings tab, double-click the Graph button for the
mapping you want to edit.
The Parameter graph window opens. The title of the graph window shows the parameter
name.
