Setting the Pan Law for a Concert
Audio signals panned to the center position may sound louder than signals panned hard
left or right. The Pan Law value determines the amount of volume reduction applied to
audio that is panned to the center position. You can choose from the following settings:
• 0 dB: With no change to the volume level, signals will seem louder when panned to
the center position, in comparison with extreme left or right pan positions.
• −3 dB: A full scale signal (0 dBfs) will have a level of −3 dB when panned to the center
position.
• −3 dB compensated: A full scale signal (0 dBfs) will have a level of 0 dB when panned
to the center position (or +3 dB when panned to extreme left or right positions).
To set the pan law for a concert
µ
In the Attributes tab of the Concert Inspector, choose the pan law value for the concert.
Changing the Tuning for a Concert
By default, concerts use equal tempered tuning. You can change the tuning for a concert
so that it uses a different tuning.
To change the tuning for a concert
1 In the Concert Inspector, select the Tuning tab.
2 Choose the tuning you want the concert to use from the Method pop-up menu.
When you change the tuning of a concert, the tuning of the patches and sets in the
concert changes if their Tuning Method is set to “Use parent tuning.” Patches and sets
with a different tuning method are not affected.
Silencing MIDI Notes
MainStage also includes a Panic function, which works like the Panic function in Logic Pro.
The Panic function immediately silences any hanging MIDI notes.
To silence all MIDI notes
Do one of the following:
µ
Press Control-P.
µ
Double-click the MIDI Monitor in the toolbar.
µ
If the Panic button is visible in the toolbar, click it.
µ
If you have mapped the Panic function to a screen control, press or move the
corresponding controller.
