MainStage EFM1 extended parameters
Click the disclosure triangle at the lower left to open the EFM1 extended parameters.
See MainStage EFM1 MIDI controller assignments for information about the controller
assignment extended parameters.
Extended parameters
• MIDI Mono Mode pop-up menu: Choose Off, On (with common base channel 1), or On
(with common base channel 16).
In either mode, each voice receives on a different MIDI channel. Controllers and MIDI
messages sent on the base channel affect all voices.
• Mono Mode Pitch Range slider: Set a range from 0 to 96 semitones.
The chosen pitch bend range affects individual note pitch bend messages received on
all but the common base channel. The default is 48 semitones, which is compatible
with the GarageBand for iOS keyboard in pitch mode. When using a MIDI guitar, 24
semitones is the preferable setting because most guitar to MIDI converters use this
range by default.
• Main Pitch Bend Range slider: Set a range from 0 to 24 semitones.
