Silencing MIDI Notes
MainStage also includes a Panic function, which works like the Panic function in
Logic Pro 8. The Panic function immediately silences any hanging MIDI notes.
To silence all MIDI notes, do one of the following:
m Press Control-P.
m If the Panic button is visible in the Toolbar, click it.
m If you have mapped the Panic function to a screen control, press or move the
corresponding controller.
You can also add a Panic button to the Toolbar and use it to silence MIDI notes. For
information about customizing the Toolbar, see “Customizing the Toolbar” on page 35.
Working at the Concert Level
You can control the overall volume for a concert and make other changes at the
concert level. You can use busses at the concert level to control concert-wide effects or
to control the output of multiple channel strips assigned to the bus. You can also add
channel strips at the concert level and have the concert-level channel strips available
with every patch in the concert.
You can map screen controls to busses and to concert-level channel strips only at the
concert level, not at the patch or set level.
To make changes at the concert level:
m In Edit mode, select the icon for the concert in the Patch List.
Click the concert icon in
the Patch List to work at
the concert level.
